Year 1 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Wednesday 13th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Learning to appreciate rhymes and poems, and to recite some by heart Ask your grown up to read the poem “The Rainbow Children” to you. This can be found below.  Talk about it and discuss how it makes you feel, which bits you liked/disliked. Can you find any words that rhyme in the poem? 
Writing Understand which letters belong to which handwriting ‘families’.

Today’s family is the ‘One Armed Robot Family’.You will need a piece of paper (lined will be best). Down the side of your page write the letters r, b, n, h, m, k, p.

Remember how we form our letters – see the One Armed Robot poster below to help remind you. 

Next to each letter you have written write a word that starts with that letter. Remembering to form your letters carefully, join your letters (when it is sensible to do so) and to read what you’ve written to check it says what you wanted it to. 

e.g. r – robot

ext: Can you put your word into a sentence? e.g. The robot was running. Remember this about handwriting – make it as neat as possible and take your time!

Maths Read and write numbers from 1 to 20 in numerals and words

Connect 4 – Write the numbers 1-20 in a 5 by 4 grid. (See below)

Choose a number and then you have to write that number as a word e.g. Choose 2 – you have to write two, Choose 10 – you have to write ten. If you write the number correctly as a word you get to put a counter on it and then it is player 2’s turn, they choose a number and write the word and so on. The first person to get four counters in a row wins.

If you are playing by yourself then collect points instead. You get one point for every number you spell correctly as a word and then see how many points you can get. Can you beat your score?

Extension activity – Education City Maths Year 1 Activities – ‘Fluffy Clouds’

Other: Science To identify an animal and describe the changes in its lifecycle.

Discussion: Talk about animals and their young.  Can they name some animals and their young?  Begin to discuss lifecycles in simple terms and identify the different stages.  Remind them of the one they did for the ducklings during our ‘Old Macdonald’ topic (egg, hatches, duckling, duck).  Emphasise that the cycle continues in this way.

Can you make your own lifecycle of a butterfly? You can choose how you would like to present this (poster, playdoh, paintings, models).  Don’t forget to label the different stages.

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.
