Year 1 Home learning for Wednesday 3rd June

Subject focus

What we need to learn:

How we might learn it:

English

Reading

Listening to and discussing a wide range of poems at a level beyond that at which they can read independently.

Read the story ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ – Giles Andreae (either below or on this Youtube link).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBi2tsD2iUQ

Which part of the book did you like the most? Which part didn’t you like? Which was your favourite animal and why? Is there an animal you didn’t like? Why? Does the book rhyme? Can you find any of the rhyming words? Who would you recommend this book to?

INTERNET SAFETY: Please remember you should have an adult with you when you go online – Keep SAFE online

Extension activity – Can you write about your favourite animal from the poem and why it is your favourite?

Or can you write a list of all the rhyming words from your favourite animal poem?

Writing

Sit correctly at a table, holding a pencil comfortably and correctly.

Punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

Leave spaces between words.

Read the ’Dear Zoo’ story by Rod Campbell or listen to the online version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudDGRQ9QGA

Look at the structure of the book e.g. the use of ‘flaps’ to hide the pictures and the repetitive language. Over the next two days your task is to create your own version of this book – you can decide which zoo animals to include and how many pages you want.

Use some folded paper to create the book but decide on the number of pages you will need first. Start by creating a front cover with a title, picture and your name as you are the author! Then begin by writing the opening pages. Think carefully about ‘perfect sentences’.

Maths

Solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.

Zookeeper Giles has set you a riddle to solve!

There are lots of animals in his zoo. There are 20 legs in total.

What animals could there be?

You can use toy animals, cut out pictures, drawn pictures, or just numbers and words to help you find an answer to his riddle.

Can you find more than one possible answer to the riddle?

See how many you can find!

Science

Can I identify and name a variety of common animals that are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores

Watch this video: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/go/resource/tgv2-sc-19-quick-facts-herbivores-omnivores-and-carnivores-video

or see the fact sheets below to learn about herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. Then using books, your knowledge or the internet (with a grown up) complete the grid below (there is an A4 one at the bottom) by finding out about animals and sorting them appropriately.
