Year 1 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Wednesday 6th May 2020

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Read accurately by blending sounds in unfamiliar words containing GPC’s that have been taught

Today you are going to be reading some alien words. You can create these yourself very easily. Choose a Phase 5 phoneme (you had a sound mat last week) and add letters around it to create an alien word. What is the silliest sounding word you can make? 

Here is a link to some alien word cards on Twinkl which you might want to use also… https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-8662-phase-5-aliens-assemble-nonsense-words-game

There are also lots of games on Phonics Play where you can practice identifying and reading  alien words. The login for the site is Username: march20 Password: home https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5

Writing Write from memory simple sentences dictated by the teacher that include the words using GPC’s and common exception words taught so far.

Explain what a dictated sentence is. 

The grown up will say a sentence and the child has to remember the sentence and write it down. Grown ups should read one sentence at a time twice, the child should then write it down from memory. (Remind about finger spaces and letter formation).  Encourage the child to read their sentence aloud to check it. Then the grown up can read the sentence again so the child can see if they remembered it correctly. Then check the spelling of the exception words. The exception words are in bold

Once there was a boy called Sam. He had a friend called Max who lived by a school. One day they were very happy because they were going to facetime. 

Maths Recognise, find and name a quarter as one of four equal parts of an object, shape or quantity.

Yesterday you investigated the fraction ½. Today we are exploring the fraction a quarter. A quarter is one whole shared/split into four equal parts and you look at one of those parts – ¼  

Can you find quarter of different shapes? – you could draw different shapes (halve it and halve it again to find quarter)  and then colour in ¼  of each one. (Please see resources at the bottom of this document for some ideas)

Can you find quarter of different objects? – you could use playdough to make different objects and then find quarter of them. – e.g. quarter of an orange, quarter of a pizza, quarter of a slice of bread etc. (Please see resources at the bottom of this document for some ideas)

Can you find quarter of a quantity? – can you find quarter of different numbers e.g. ¼  of 12 is ___, ¼  of 16 is ___ etc – remember to share equally into four parts. (Please see resources at the bottom of this document for some ideas)

Extension: revisit your learning from yesterday and consolidate today by finding ½ and ¼ here:

Other: 

Geography

use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features;

With a grown up, using a phone, tablet, laptop etc. enter your postcode onto Google Maps and keep the settings as a birds eye view (not Street View). Can you find where you live? What else can you see? 

Where else can you find? Can you find our school? Can you see where your classroom is?  (PO3 6HL) Can you track your journey to school? 

Can you see any physical features? (natural features from the Earth)

What human features can you see? (features that are man-made)

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
