Year 1 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Wednesday 17th June

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words

Look back at “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?”. 

Here are the colours that feature in the story: 

brown  black   green   purple   blue  yellow   red   white   gold

Write out these words and draw your sound buttons to show how you would decode these words. Then use these sound buttons to help you blend as you read the word aloud.  For example: 

Writing Spell:  Words containing each 40+ phonemes already taught

Thinking about ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?’ from your reading activity, can you now think of some new colours and new animals that are not already in the story. E.g. pink flamingo, silver spider, ruby parrot.

Write a list of the new colours and new animals using your phonics sounds to help you spell the words correctly. E.g. p-i-n-k    f-l-a-m-i-ng-o

If you are having trouble thinking of new colours then use the existing colours and just change the animals.

Maths Recognise and name common 3-D shapes, including:- 3-D shapes (e.g. cuboids (including cubes), pyramids and spheres). 

Think back to all your previous learning about shape. Can you remember what a 3D shape is? How many 3D shapes can you name?

Have a look at the NRich Maths Problem at the bottom of the document.

Which of the buildings below would fall down if we tried to make them? 

Which ones would be unstable and possibly collapse?

If you think some would fall down, can you explain why using the shapes names?

Can you explain how you make the building better?

Other: 

Art and Design

To develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space.

Can you remember the three primary colours?

The primary colours are important because they can be used to make secondary colours by mixing them.

Can you experiment with colour mixing to see what colours can be made?  You may want to use paint, pastels or the online link below.

Take a line for a walk on your page and colour the different sections using primary and secondary colours.  You may also want to use different patterns in the sections.

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.
