Year 1 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Wednesday 20th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Read common exception words, noting unusual correspondences between spelling and sound and where these occur in the word.

Play our Common Exception Word game. Using the list below (at the bottom of this table) write 10 of the common exception words on small pieces of paper or post it notes, then hide the words around your house/room. 

Tell your child a word. Then should then go and find the piece of paper with that word written on it and bring it back to you. For an extra point…see if they can write the word (not copy it!).

Writing

Beginning to punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop.

Write sentences by:

-Saying out loud what they are going to write about

-Composing a sentence orally before writing it

Sequencing sentences to form short narratives

-Re-reading what they have written to check that it makes sense

Today you are going to be writing some factual sentences about your chosen transport using all the information that you found out yesterday.

Remember when you write your sentences, THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT and remember capital letters, full stops, other punctuation, spelling and handwriting.

E.g. Most cars have four wheels but sometimes they can have three.

Keep your sentences safe as you will be needing them tomorrow!

Maths Solve mathematical problems or puzzles involving addition or multiplication using concrete objects and pictorial representations.

The Bike Shop –  problem solving challenge

Talk through the maths problem at the bottom of the document (choose a level suited to your child).  Support them in solving the problem – using objects, pictures or a number line for support.  Remember to show how you have solved it.

“On the Move” Transport week

Design and Technology

Evaluate their ideas and products against design criteria 

Yesterday you were asked to create a car based on the following criteria:

→ It must have wheels

→ It should move when pushed

→ It must have a space for a ‘driver’ to sit

How did you do? Does your car have wheels? Does it move when pushed? Is there space for a ‘driver’ to sit? 

Have a think about the following questions: 

What do you really like about your car? 

What works well? What doesn’t work well?

If you could make it again, what would you change?

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.
