Day of the week |
Topic |
Activity |
|
Monday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. |
Look at the attached PowerPoint presentation About igloos and read it with an adult. Answer the following questions (discuss your answers with your adult, and write some answers if you can!)
|
|
Tuesday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Instruction writing. |
Last term, we learnt all about instruction writing when we made jam sandwiches. Can you write some simple instructions for making an igloo? (There are clues in the Powerpoint). Remember to use time words such as first, then, next, last. Every instruction must on a new line. Remember to keep your sentences short and bossy! |
|
Wednesday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Creative writing. |
Today we are going to start some story writing. Who will your story be about? We are going to think about a main character who is an Inuit boy or girl, who lives in an igloo. Draw your character. Think of a name for them. Can you write three sentences about your character? Your sentences might include how old they are, what they like doing, things they are good at, who is in their family etc. |
|
Thursday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. |
Over the next two days, write a story about your character. You may choose to write your story like a comic strip with lots of pictures and captions, or you might write the whole thing in sentences. What makes your story exciting? Does your character meet a polar bear, seal or narwhal? Do they go on an exciting husky ride or fishing trip? Perhaps it’s a day of fun playing in the snow. We can’t wait to hear your ideas! |
|
Friday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. |
Complete your story writing and draw a picture to go with it. |
D.T.: If you have started a papier mache igloo continue working on it, otherwise why not give it a try? We’re looking forward to seeing more photos of your igloos this week. If you made one last week using Lego, playdough or cake, why not try a different medium? Can you make a little scene with an Inuit family to live in your igloo?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-x5QOSqP3E (3 mins) or http://www.nfb.ca/film/how_to_build_an_igloo/ (10mins)
Science: Last week you made a weather chart or diary for the weather at home. What is the weather like in the Arctic? Have a look at a weather forecast website each day and complete a weather chart or diary for the Arctic this week. What’s the same and what’s different compared to the weather in England?
P.E. Complete one of the Joe Wicks workouts either Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 9am.
RE: Special people We all have special people in our lives. Can you think of who is special in your life? Read this story with an adult.
Joe’s story: Grandma’s special people.
Every Sunday, we go to Grandad and Grandma’s with our Mum for dinner. Tim and I love going there. Grandad and Grandma let us play upstairs. We think it is a very special place. Grandma knows how much we like to look at all the photographs on the stairs, on the landing and in the bedrooms. There are so many of them. Tim and I make up games to play. We count them, try to spot the new ones and see if we can remember who all the people in the photographs are. Grandma says, “These are all my special people, they are our family. You are there, as well as your Mum, Uncle Brian and cousins.”
Tim and I are glad we’re Grandma’s special people. She is one of our special people, too. Some of the photographs are of people we don’t really know. There is one of Monica, Grandma’s best friend, who lives in the next road. They go shopping together every week. Another is of Sally, the district nurse, who helped to look after Grandad when he was very ill last year.
Tim’s favourite photograph is the one of Grandma and Grandad with all their friends and neighbours. It was taken at the community centre last year at a party. Grandma has so many photographs because she has many special friends. I couldn’t tell you about them all today as it would take too long. Perhaps you could think of people who are special to you.
- Who are special people in your lives?
- Are there special people in our school community?
- Do you know any other special people?
- Draw pictures of the special people in your life and add key words which express the special things people offer us: e.g. care, time, love, friendship.

Monday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Writing letters. |
On Friday last week, you started planning a letter to Apac, the boy who lives in the Arctic. You drew a picture of yourself and jotted down some facts about yourself. Here is the link to the video in case you want to watch it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYK8ERKPnNM
Today we want you to think about the place where you live, it is very different to the Arctic and Apac would really like to hear about it! Your task is to go out for a walk and make a list of things you see in your area that would be interesting for Apac. You might do this in your topic book, or do it on paper and stick it in. Here are some things you might include: A pebble beach Grassy park Concrete pavement How many things can you write on your list? If you unable to go out, have a think and see how many things you can remember. Use your phonics to spell words you don’t know.
|
|
Tuesday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Writing letters. |
Have a look at the list you wrote yesterday and read it to a grown-up. Today your task is to choose three of the things and write a sentence for each one in your topic book. Try to use some describing words (adjectives). Here is an example:
I live in a brick house with a red door.
The pebble beach is a good place to ride my bike.
You can play football in the grassy park.
|
|
Wednesday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Writing letters. |
Today we are going to start writing our letters. You can choose to do this in your topic book, or you might have some nice writing paper you’d like to use.
When we write letters, we always put our address at the top so the person we are writing to knows who it is from and can write back. Write your own address at the top of the letter, the date, and then write ‘Dear Apac’.
Draw a picture of yourself with your family by your home.
|
|
Thursday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Writing letters. |
Now it’s time to tell Apac some things about yourself. Use the ideas you have planned already. Here is an example: Dear Apac, Hello, my name is _________ and I am six years old. I have a brother and sister and my dog is called Floppy. I like taking him for walks in the rain and getting all muddy. Can you write three sentences? Remember to say them out loud before you write them down. Perhaps you can write more than three…
|
|
Friday |
Our topic for the term: ‘Posting and Places’. Writing letters. |
Let’s finish your letter today. Now you need to tell Apac about the place you live. Can you use one of the sentences you wrote on Tuesday? Can you think of some new sentences? Can you think of a question you’d like to ask Apac? Here’s an example:
I live in England in a town next to the sea. There is a pebble beach where I have picnics in the summer. There is also a long canal with ducks and white swans. What animals do you see where you live? From __________
|
D.T.: It is interesting to see how and igloo is constructed. Have a look at one or both of these clips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-x5QOSqP3E (3 mins) or http://www.nfb.ca/film/how_to_build_an_igloo/ (10mins)
Can you make a model of an igloo? You could use junk modelling, Lego, playdough or clay – whatever you have at home (fingers crossed it snows and you can do it in the garden!) Perhaps you use bedding and blankets to make an igloo style camp!
Geography: Look at Google Earth and find the Arctic. Look at where it is in comparison to England. Can you find any of the other continents you learnt about last week? Here is a song to help you learn the names of the continents!
Seven Continents Song (Oceania Version) - YouTube
Science: Linking to our Geography, make a weather chart or diary. Can you record the temperature each day and what the weather is like? Next week you will be making a weather diary for the Arctic so that you can compare!
P.E. : Follow this link to an Arctic themed yoga session!

Phonics:
This week we are going to crack on with learning phase 5a.
Use the website ‘phonic play’ to access games and activities to support phonic learning. The username is caritas and the password is caritas.
Key words for your information:
Phoneme - The smallest unit of sound. There are approximately 44 phonemes in English (it depends on different accents). Phonemes can be put together to make words.
Grapheme - A way of writing down a phoneme. Graphemes can be made up from 1 letter e.g. p, 2 letters e.g. sh, 3 letters e.g. tch or 4 letters e.g ough
Digraph - A grapheme containing two letters that makes just one sound (phoneme).
Trigraph - A grapheme containing three letters that makes just one sound (phoneme)
Oral Blending - This involves hearing phonemes and being able to merge them together to make a word. Children need to develop this skill before they will be able to blend written words.
Blending- This involves looking at a written word, looking at each grapheme and using knowledge of GPCs to work out which phoneme each grapheme represents and then merging these phonemes together to make a word. This is the basis of reading
Oral Segmenting - This is the act hearing a whole word and then splitting it up into the phonemes that make it. Children need to develop this skill before they will be able to segment words to spell them.
Segmenting - This involves hearing a word, splitting it up into the phonemes that make it, using knowledge of GPCs to work out which graphemes represent those phonemes and then writing those graphemes down in the right order. This is the basis of spelling.

What does the lighted candle remind us of? https://www.comeandseere.co.uk/activities/interactive-iwb-activities Can you create your own wreath following the link?
Art - We have ordered various craft activity packs to enjoy making in the run up to Christmas. If your child misses out on any of these sessions, we will save their kits for them to complete at home at a later date. But there are lots of lovely ideas of things to make on the internet. Perhaps you could draw a Christmas scene and decorate it?
This afternoon we will be writing the insides of our Christmas cards (we made them last week). At home, why not make a Christmas card for a neighbour or relative, write a little message inside and put it in the post!

Science - Think of the season we are in at the moment. Can you draw a picture and label it to match? What season will we enter next? Can you draw a picture to show the next season and label it with key words?
RE – We are starting a new unit all about Advent. What is Advent?
Advent is a time when we appreciate the love in our lives and prepare to celebrate love becoming a reality in the person of Jesus Christ. We, as Christians, celebrate the gift of Jesus. Advent is a build up to the giving of love through Christ. People had to wait to receive his presence. It wasn’t given straight away. How does it feel to wait? Can you think of a time when you had to wait? E.g. waiting for your birthday? Waiting for Christmas? Draw a picture of yourself waiting for an event and underneath write ‘I am waiting for… I feel …’
IcT – Practise recognising the position of letters on the keyboard. Can you type your full name and use capital letters appropriately? https://toybox.tools.bbc.co.uk/activities/id/activity-dance-mat-typing/exitGameUrl/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fguides%2Fz3c6tfr
PE - Try and get outside if you have a garden. If it is rainy why not ask your family to put on an exercise video that you can enjoy. The Joe Wicks ones are still on You Tube or maybe try Just Dance or similar.
Design Technology- Outdoor learning - using materials from your garden, can you go on a sensory hunt to find different objects with different textures? E.g. a spiky leaf, a smooth leaf, a rough piece of bark etc. Record what you find and how it feels.
Art- we will be looking at the painting 'Gateway to Cornwall' by John Dyer and talking about what we can see in this 'celebration painting' - can you guess what the celebration might be? (Bonfire night or New Year's Eve). What do you like/dislike about the painting? What do you think of the colours? In class we will be creating firework pictures using pastels and glitter on black paper and saving them to include in a class collage next week. Why not create your own firework picture at home using whatever art supplies you have!

Maths Activity This week we are focusing on fractions, specifically half and quarter.
Finding half Explore finding a half for the first time using shapes and sets of objects. Use the vocabulary ‘half’ and ‘whole’. If possible, use real life objects and show how they can be cut in half. An adult should then draw simple shapes and get your child to split the shapes in half.
Finding half of quantities Children use their understanding of finding half of an object or shape and apply this to finding half of a small quantity. It is important that children find the total amount and can then show how this number can be shared equally into two. The use of small objects such as counters can help children to find a half. You may find the attached halving mat useful.
Finding half computer game https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button Follow the link to play the game. Click on ‘Halves’ and start with halves to 10 at the top then progress to finding halves from 5 to 15., find different halves.
Exploring quarters Explore quarters for the first time. Develop their understanding of equal parts and non-equal parts and relate this to a shape or object being split up into four equal parts. Take two square pieces of paper, two circular pieces of paper and two rectangular pieces of paper. Model folding one of each into four equal parts and the other into four non-equal parts.
Finding a quarter of a quantity Find a quarter of a small quantity through equal sharing. It is important they can show the groups clearly by drawing around quantities or by physically sharing into something. Use small objects at home to investigate these questions.

English Activity This week we will be focusing on instruction writing.
Verbs – let’s do them! Introduce the term ‘verbs’ and explain that a verb is a ‘doing word’. Explain how if you say a doing word on its own it sounds bossy. Instructions always sound bossy because they use bossy words, but we don’t have to use a bossy voice! On your daily walk or in your garden, say different verbs to each other and you have to do them, e.g. Run to the flowers, hop on the spot etc.
Write the verbs Recap the term ‘verbs’ and explain that a verb is a ‘doing word’. Explain how if you say a doing word on its own it sounds bossy. Give your child some instructions and stress the verb. E.g. Put hands on heads, rub hands together, pat your stomach, stand up on the spot, turn around etc. Then write your own instructions. When you’re done, read them to someone else and they have to do what you say! EXT: Can you underline the verbs in your sentences
Washing our hands Recap or watch “I don’t want to wash my hands” read by Tony Ross (Link in story time section). Write/Draw instructions to wash your hands. Please see the attached writing frame you can write on or use for ideas.
Blowing your nose Talk about what to do when you need to blow your nose. See the attached writing frame and write a sentence about each of the pictures to create instructions for how to blow your nose. Remember your bossy verbs! You can write straight into your book if you don’t have a printer.
In the morning What do we do when we get up in the morning/before going to school? Think of a set of instructions using bossy verbs for getting up in the morning. E.g. Brush your teeth, put your clothes on etc. You may like to write sentences in comic strip with a picture for each of your instructions.

English Activity Rhyming words Listen and join in with the Super Movers rhyming video by following the link below: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-english-rhyme-with-radzi/zvbm47h Then see the attached document to find a selection of rhyming cards. There are 3 levels, pick the one most suited for your child. You do not have to print the cards off but looking at the cards, match the rhyming words together and write them in your book. Challenge: Can you think of anymore words that rhyme?
Rhyming sentences Listen and join in to the Super Movers video again. Then create your own rhyming sentences. You can use the attached rhyming cards as support or you can create your own rhyming sentences. E.g. The cat sat on the mat.
Rhyming Games Play some rhyming games together. You can pick from the ones below or play your own games.
Imagine you are going on a trip. Say one item you are taking with you on the trip, e.g. “I’m going to the beach and I’m taking a hat.” The next person to repeat the sentence and add on a rhyming item they want to take, e.g. “I’m going to the beach and I’m taking a hat and a mat”. The sillier the rhymes get, the better!
Use chalk to draw a hopscotch grid or map one out with tape. Decide on a word at the beginning of the hopscotch, e.g. dog. Then as you hop down the hopscotch call out different words that rhyme with the word you picked. Can you make it to the end of your hopscotch? Try with a new word and see if you can get even further.
‘Stop telling fibs!’ Day 1 Read the attached ‘Stop telling fibs’ eBook together. Notice the rhyming words. Then look at the pictures at the end of the book (when Mum enters the room). Go through the different animals and how they rhyme. Notice the other animals that weren’t in the story: Fox in socks, chimpanzees in dungarees, a bat in a hat, a yak in a mac. Choose one of these animals and in the same style of the story, write how the animal ends up there. E.g. “Put on your socks,” said Mum. “I can’t put on my socks, there’s a fox in my socks!” said Tomek. Do not worry about speech marks; they are a Year 2 expectation.
‘Stop telling fibs!’ Day 2 Read the eBook again to remind them of the story. Pause on the last pictures of the story, when Mum enters Tomek’s room. What do you think happened next in Tomek’s house? Write your own story about what each of the animals did when they were discovered, how Tomek reacted and what his mum thought. |
Maths Activity This week the maths focus is on numbers to 100.
Counting to 100 Use a 100 square or the online 100 square: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares Warm up by finding different numbers, if you need more of a challenge try counting forwards from 80 to 92, count backwards from 73 to 65, write down the numbers between 75 and 81, find what number comes between 46 and 48 etc. Then see the attached document labelled ‘counting to 100’. Complete the sheet.
100 square Use a 100 square or the online 100 square: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares Warm up like yesterday by finding different numbers or counting. Then see the attached document labelled ‘100 squares’. There are 3 levels, you do not have to do them all, pick the one that is most suited to your child. They need to find these numbers on the hundred square and fill in the missing numbers on their sheet. They can colour this section in on a hundred square to help them if they are struggling. If you don’t have a printer, you can draw the missing number grids for your child.
Ordering numbers to 100 Order different numbers from 0 – 100. Start with multiples of 10, if this isn’t challenging, move on to other numbers, e.g 43, 91, 12, 22. An adult could write numbers from 0 - 100 onto small pieces of paper. Then put them in the right order from the smallest to the biggest. Repeat with different numbers. Can they create their own number line?
Partitioning numbers https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-digits-&-numbers-with-marlon-wallen/zfyjbdm Listen to the Super Movers song and singalong to the digit dance! Talk about how 2 digit numbers are made. Complete the worksheet called partitioning, to show how numbers are made.
Number bonds to 100 https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-number-bonds-with-martin-dougan/zf6cpg8 Start with recapping number bonds to 10 by listening to the Super Movers song. Make sure they are secure in number bonds to 10 before moving to number bonds to 100. E.g. 8 + 2 = 10 so 80 + 20 = 100.

Let’s Dance! Using the song from the Disney film Decedents 3, have a dance along with this daughter and Mum duo. Why don’t you pick your own song and create your own dance!
My Home – My Museum https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/my-home-my-museum Museums and galleries are closed, so why not create your own exhibition or gallery of artworks inspired by you! What would you like people to know about you? What are the important things in your home that are close to your heart? Who might you paint a picture of? Toys, special outfits, holiday souvenirs and much-loved teddy bears are some of the many things you might wish to include as objects are artworks.
Kitchen Music You don’t need an instrument when you can find one in the kitchen! Learn to play kitchen instruments with Myleene Klass. Watch and join in with the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA2Z-GVNdxo
Leaves/Flower Crowns Become the King or Queen of your daily walk by hunting for brightly coloured leaves or flowers. Collect as many as you can and take them home to make your very own leafy flower crown. To make your crown, choose a band of card that’s long enough to go round your head. Then carefully stick on the nature gems you have found!
Write a prayer for the NHS We all know how hard the NHS has been working for our country. You may have shown your appreciation for them by clapping on a Thursday night. This week, write a thank you prayer which you could say with your family. |

Home Reading each day (At least 20mins) You could use Oxford Owls if you run out of books! Oxford Owl for Home
Phonics This week we are focusing on real words and nonsense words. Please see the attached PowerPoint to find 5 slides with 5 different activities to do each day. You must play the slideshow from the beginning in order to ‘pop’ the balloons.
|
English Activity This week you might like to try and create a pet shop in your home! You could choose some of your furry toys from around your house to play a part!
Fact File Choose one of your furry toys who will be up for sale in your pet shop. Write a fact file for them which will give potential owners key information about the animal. E.g. what type of animal they are (fish, mammal etc.), what type of eater (herbivore, carnivore etc.), what food they like to eat, what they like to live/sleep in and so on. Depending on time, you might like to do this for more than one animal.
Opening and closing times Create a poster with the days of the week and decide what time you would like to open and close your shop each day. Are there any days that you will stay closed?
Role Play Get someone to come along to your shop and ask you questions about your animals. Can you persuade them to buy a new pet? Can you answer the questions they ask? Have fun in your shop!
Funny Bones Pet Shop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfpk8QEhK1c Watch the link about the Funny Bones pet shop. If you were going to the pet shop and could pick a new pet, what pet would you choose and why? You might like to draw a picture of your new pet.
Funny Bones Pet Shop 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfpk8QEhK1c Watch the link again about the Funny Bones pet shop. What other pet could the Big Skeleton and Little Skeleton buy in the pet shop? Think of a different animal that wasn’t mentioned in the video. What happens when they buy this animal? Do they love it or do they have to send it back to the shop?
|
Maths Activity This week the maths focus is on money! You will either need to use real coins or print of the attached document.
Coins and notes Use fake coins or real coins and talk about what they are worth. Do they recognise any? What is the value of the coins? Repeat this with different notes. Then either draw around the coins or cut and stick the fake coins into your books to create a list of their value.
Pet Shop Work out prices for the animals in your shop. If you can use coins to show the value, if not you could put the right amount of cubes or small objects by each of the animals. How much do 2 of the animals cost together? What about 3? An adult could come along with different amounts of money, can they afford a pet?
Use or draw coins to show the following amounts:
How many? Put a selection of mixed coins on the table (make sure there are multiples of the same coin). Get your child to find all the 1ps and work out how many there are. Then the 2ps and repeat for the coins you have available.
Problem Solving Use coins to work out the answers to these questions:

Bucket golf This game combines underarm throwing with the rules of golf. To play, you will need rolled up socks or soft foam balls, buckets or cardboard boxes. Start by setting up a miniature golf course, with a bucket or cardboard box for the hole. Ideally, you should have at least 5 holes in your miniature golf course. Start at the first tee and attempt to throw your ball into the bucket with as few throws as possible. You can keep track of the scores on a piece of paper. You can vary the length of the holes to make the course more challenging if your child is an accurate thrower.
Kitchen Music You don’t need an instrument when you can find one in the kitchen! Learn to play kitchen instruments with Myleene Klass. Watch and join in with the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA2Z-GVNdxo
Animal Sculptures Using playdough and/or a collection of sticks, stones and outdoor materials, create an animal sculpture of your choice. If you don’t have any materials take a bag on your daily walk and collect as many outdoor objects as you think you may need. If you don’t have any playdough you could use blue tack or glue to help your sticks stay together.
Mini-beast Hunt Go on a mini-beast hunt in your garden or on your daily walk. Can you find a bumblebee looking for nectar? A spotty ladybird exploring the grass? A slimy snail in a damp dark spot? A butterfly basking in the sunshine? What else can you see; you might like to take a photo of some of the creatures you find! |
Dear Year 1 parents and children,
TERM 6 - WEEK 1 - 1st-5th June 2020
I hope you all had a relaxing half term, a well-deserved rest for everyone at home!
You may notice that box D is no longer the home project but is a selection of activities from other areas of the curriculum, e.g. PE, Art, RE etc. These are not compulsory but are there to give you other ideas if you need it.
Like usual, the table below has some suggested activities you might like to complete at home. All these activities can be done in any order and at any time that suits you. If you have other ideas that you would like to pursue, feel free to experiment and adjust as you like. Please remember, this is only guidance. On some days you will not be able to do it all and that is ok. You can only do your best.

Home Reading each day (At least 20mins) You could use Oxford Owls if you run out of books! Oxford Owl for Home
Phonics Throughout the week your child is going to be looking for different sounds around them. Pick the most appropriate level from the attached documents below. There are 3 different levels. Level 1 and 2 use phase 3 sounds and level 3 uses phase 5 sounds. Pick the most appropriate level depending on your child’s sound knowledge. Once they have selected their sound sheet they will look around their house/garden to find different objects that have those sounds. E.g. if they are looking for the sound ‘ar’, they might find a car, star or garden. Once they have found a word they cut and stick the sound into their book, write the word they have found next to it and draw a picture of the word they have found. Challenge: Can they write a sentence with this word?
They might not be able to find every single sound on each level and that is ok. If they finish one level before the end of the week, they can start another one. |
English Activity
This week your child will be creating a Non-Fiction book about 5 of the animal groups (fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds).
They should pick a different animal group for each day. So your week might look like this: Monday – Fish Tuesday – Reptiles Wednesday – Amphibians Thursday – Mammals Friday – Birds
You could begin each session by clicking the link below to watch a video on their chosen animal group: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z6882hv
If they would like to find out even more information, they can use Non-Fiction books or the internet, with appropriate adult supervision.
If you’re stuck, think about the following questions for each group of animals:
They should collect their information each day onto an A4 page. At the end of the week they can add page numbers, a contents page and a front cover to complete their Non-Fiction book on the different Animal Types.
|
Maths Activity This week the maths focus is to use the vocabulary ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ to describe position and direction.
Route making Use cones or objects to mark out a route for a family member. Describe the route your partner needs to take using the words ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’. Swap goes, can you make even trickier routes?
Directional Drawing An adult will be needed to say a clear instruction. The child listens and does as the instruction says to create a drawing. E.g.
Then swap over, are they able to give clear instructions using the appropriate language.
Complete the sentences Use objects in your house or outside area to complete the sentences.
What can you see? Think about where you are sitting. What can you see around you? Write a list of the things you can see:
Worksheet: Position & Direction Have a look at the attached document. You do not need to print this off. Answer the questions in your book.

Topic Ideas:
Sock vs Target You will need a rolled-up sock (easy to handle, unlikely to break anything and won’t roll far after being thrown) and a cardboard target for your child to attempt to knock over. Throw the sock at the target to knock it over, take a step back each time it falls over. Then try again with your other hand, can you think of any other ways to throw the sock and hit the target?
Nick Cope – Sing along https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p089gh8c/nick-copes-popcast-series-1-3-take-a-walk Have a listen to Nick Cope’s podcast on CBeebies. He sings about walking in the countryside. Have a listen and singalong. Why not change the words and create your own song!
Pentecost Please see the attached PowerPoint to find the story of Pentecost. Pentecost is celebrated on the 7th Sunday after Easter, this year it would have been 31st May. Read through this together and then choose one or two of the suggested activities to complete. You do not have to do them all.
Animal Puppets Using the resources you have at home, create different animal puppets! You could draw on old socks, use paper and sticks or make finger puppets out of an old glove.
Sikhism Under normal circumstances, this week we would have been having a Sikhism week in school. Please see the attached document and choose one of the suggested activities to complete. You do not have to do them all. |
Dear Year 1 Parents and children
Week 5 - 18th May – 22nd May 2020
Thank you to all those who have sent pictures to ‘2Simple’. I am really enjoying seeing all brilliant learning you have been doing and all the fun as well… Marshmallow claps for everyone (even parents!)
Like usual, the table below has some suggested activities you might like to complete at home. All of these activities can be done in any order and at any time that suits you. If you have other ideas that you would like to pursue, feel free to experiment and adjust as you like. Please remember, this is only guidance. On some days you won’t be able to do it all and that is ok. You can only do your best.
As always, Times Table Rock Stars (https://ttrockstars.com/) is used as an additional challenge. This is not going to be appropriate for every child due to the timed conditions. Do not panic or worry if your child is not ready yet, they will be introduced to this more in Year 2. However, if you have been able to have a go and would like additional tables added, please let me know and I can do so.
This week, see if you can help an adult at home like they’ve been helping you. Maybe you can help hang the washing out, load the dishwasher or even lay the table.
I shall hopefully see you all very soon,
Miss Cox

English Activity
This week you need a piece of A4 paper and to pick an animal that interests you. Ask an adult to fold the paper to form a leaflet. You could fold it twice to get 6 different sides. Over the week you will be designing, creating and writing your very own Non-Fiction leaflet about your chosen animal. Can you remember what Non-Fiction means?
Collecting Information (2 days) Using books or the internet, collect some facts about your chosen animal. Write these down into your book or a rough piece of paper. See if you can find a different fact for each different side of your leaflet. E.g. One side could be about food and another about where the animal comes from. Remember to leave a side for your front cover!
Neat writing Once you have collected all your facts for your leaflet you need to copy them out in your neatest handwriting. Remember your capital letters, finger spacing and full stops. An adult might like to draw some lines for you to write on.
Drawing Using books or the internet, see if you can add some drawings to your leaflet.
Front cover Every Non-Fiction leaflet needs a front cover. See if you can include a title for your leaflet, a drawing of your chosen animal and your name. |
Maths Activity This week the maths focus is on turns using the language ‘full’, ‘half’, ‘quarter’ and ‘three quarter’.
Simon Says Use the language ‘full’, ‘half’, ‘quarter’ and ‘three quarter’ to describe turns. Children should practically turn objects in different directions. You could investigate whether they can finish facing the same direction if they complete different turns. Then play a game of ‘Simon says’ and give the children instructions using the language ‘quarter turn’, ‘half turn’, ‘three quarters turn’ and ‘full turn’.
Draw and turn Draw a triangle in your book. Now turn your book different turns (‘full’, ‘half’, ‘quarter’ and ‘three quarter’), what does the triangle look like now? Draw a triangle after a full turn, half turn, quarter turn and a three quarter turn. If you have time, try with a different shape, maybe a rectangle or a smiley face?
Draw and match Draw a shape of your choice. Then draw what the shape would look like after the following statements:
Worksheet – Turns Have a look at the attached document. You do not need to print this off. Answer the questions in your book by drawing the new shapes after each turn.
My Maths There is one My Maths activity set for this week which focuses on position, direction and movement. |

English Activity Questions Pick an animal of your choice, e.g. a dog. Then show your child the question words: why, when, where, who, what, how. Model how to ask a question using one of these words. Encourage them to think of different questions, using the question words, about the animal picture. E.g. What do dogs eat? You don’t need to find the answer to these questions and remember your question mark!
Describing words Pick an animal of your choice. As a challenge you may like to choose a few different animals from the different animal types: Mammal, reptile, bird, fish or amphibians. Then write a list of words to describe the animal that you have picked. Can a family member guess your animal from your description?
Alphabetical order Talk about alphabetical order and what this means. Write the alphabet out together. Ask your child to go and get 5 different objects from around the house. Now order them in alphabetical order and write the list down into your book. Repeat this and if possible, increase the number of objects. Can they order 7 objects or more?
Non-Fiction vs Fiction What is a Non-Fiction book? (A real book) What is a Fiction book? (A made-up book). Find a selection of Non-Fiction and Fiction books in your house. If you don’t have any books, an adult should use the computer to find different children books that are both Non-Fiction and Fiction. Show them the covers of the books, look inside them, and make a guess! Non-Fiction or Fiction? Then decided which type of books they prefer, get them to choose their favourite and you can read it together.

A Home Reading each day (At least 20mins) You could use Oxford Owls if you run out of books! Oxford Owl for Home
Phonics Please see the ‘Phonics Treasure Hunt’ attached document. There are 3 levels you can choose from, please pick the most appropriate for your child - They need to be able to read them by themselves! As your child finds each item they might like to take a picture.
Page 1: Three-sound or CVC words e.g. ‘mop’. Page 2: Words which either use digraphs (two letters representing a sound) e.g. ‘f-or-k’ or words which consist of four sounds e.g. ‘s-t-e-p’. Page 3: Two more sets of the harder words and two sets of outside words e.g. ‘twig’, for when it’s time to stretch your legs.
|
B English Activity Common Exception Words Please see the attached document. You will find a list of Year 1 common exception words. By the end of Year 1, all children are expected to be able to read and spell these words. For this task, pick a word from the list and write it in a sentence. Ask your child if they’d like to do a gold, silver or bronze challenge (they’ll know what this means). Bronze = 3 sentences, silver = 5 sentences, gold = 7 or more sentences. Challenge: Can you put 2 words in 1 sentence?
Human Body (part 1) Start by singing head, shoulders, knees and toes or playing Simon Says to get your child thinking about the body. E.g. Simon says touch your nose. Then, draw yourself or your family. How many body parts can you see and label? E.g. Head, toes, knees, arms etc. Do you know any body parts that you can’t see? E.g. Brain, heart. Where are they? Add them to your picture too!
Human Body (part 2) Using your picture from the previous day, now write facts about you and your body. E.g. I use my legs to run, I use my eyes to see etc. Use the bronze, silver, gold challenges again. Can they think of their own targets?
VE day Friday 8th May marks 75 years since the end of WW2. I have attached a PowerPoint which you can read with your child so they can find out more about VE day. At the end of the PowerPoint there are some suggested activities. You do not have to do them all, they are only suggestions. If you have other ideas how you would like to celebrate and remember VE day then feel free to pursue and experiment as you like. |
C Maths Activity This week the focus is understanding equal groups. This will involve thinking about what the word equal means, how you would make equal groups and how to count in equal groups.
Making equal groups Use Lego, pencils o |
