Year 1 - Wednesday's Home Learning - Langstone Infant Academy

Year 1 Home learning for Wednesday 1st April

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.	Tricky Word Treasure Hunt – Pick a book you can read together or one your child can read independently. As you read it, can you find and read the common exception words (see attached sheet). Highlight/colour every common exception word you read and find – you get 1 point for a year 1 word and 2 points for a year 2 word. Discuss why the words were tricky and you can always continue this activity with another book.
English	Writing	To spell the days of the week. To punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop.	At the beginning of the day (after your optional Joe Wicks workout) get your child to write 1 sentence about something they have done on each day. E.g. On Sunday…, On Monday…, On Tuesday… etc. When they write their sentence get them to THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT! Get them to check they have remembered a capital letter and a full stop. They can then continue this the rest of week to ensure they are practising writing all the days of the week.
Maths		Recognise and name common 2-D and 3-D shapes, including: – 2-D shapes (e.g. rectangles (including squares), circles and triangles) – 3-D shapes (e.g. cuboids (including cubes), pyramids and spheres).	‘We’re going on a Shape Hunt…’ – go on a shape hunt either around your house, garden or both and see what 2D and 3D shapes your child can discover (Food in the kitchen cupboards are great shapes!). Discuss their names and properties (sides, corners, edges, vertices and faces) of the shapes they find and compare the same shapes but different sizes e.g. a cereal box and tissue box.

Other: Science and Geography		Identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United Kingdom. Observe and describe weather associated with the seasons and how day length varies.	Create a weather chart together (see attached sheet if template is needed). Each day record the weather, temperature, time of sunrise and sunset (BBC weather will help with this). Discuss how the weather and temperature relates to the seasons and how the clocks going forward (On Sunday 29th March) affects when it gets light and dark now. This can be an ongoing project.
