Year One- Home Learning- Week beginning 22-6-2020

Hello Year One!

With many children back at school now, our blog will look at activities that we have been covering in class, as well as what you can do at home. Please continue to take the time to share your learning on the Home Learning Showcase as we love to see activities that you have been completing. Don’t forget, you can also send me a message, or why not send a message to the class too?

English

This week we have been continuing our work on poems and rhymes. We have looked at shape poems, acrostic poems and have been using rhyming words in our phonics sessions too! You can see some of the poems that we have been looking at here.

  • Find out more about shape poems. Click on the link to help you. Can you find any more of your own? Use the Summer Shape template or the Weather template to write your own shape poem or cut out your own shape. Don’t forget to share them!

  • Choose a poem that you like and learn it off by heart. You could try the Days of the Week poem that we have been learning in class, or choose one of your own.

Phonics

We are continuing to practise reading using our phonics skills. This week we have been concentrating on the S phoneme. It can be spelt with the graphemes s,ss,c,se, or st.

Practise reading and writing these words. Button and bar them and find the s phoneme.

  • listen, whistle, castle, jostle, wrestle

  • house, loose, horse, crease, purse

We have also been practising a different spelling of z. Sometimes, z can be spelt se.

Practise reading and writing these words. Button and bar them and find the z phoneme.

  • please, tease, cheese, noise, pause

Maths

This week in Maths, we have been learning to tell the time. Can you read o’clock and half past on a watch or clock?

We have also been looking at money. Watch the video’s and complete the activities on money.

Well-being

We are continuing to look after our well-being. Why not try the following activities:

  • Take Notice- Go for a walk around your local area. Take a piece of paper and pencil with you. When you find a safe place to stop, why not sit and draw something that you can see?

  • Connect- Connect with someone who you haven’t seen for a while. You could write them a card, send them a photo or give them a call on the phone. Let them know that you are thinking about them.

  • Be Active- Make a circuit in an outdoor space. Challenge a grown up to do it too. Who can do the most star jumps? Run the fastest or dribble a ball?

  • Give- Plant a seed or plant. Water it regularly and put it somewhere that other people can see it. Don’t forget to check on it daily.

  • Keep Learning- Learn something new. Ride a bike, learn to knit or tie your own shoe laces.

I hope that you all keep well and I look forward to seeing you soon.
