Home Learning Pack W/B 18/5/20 Year 1

Here is this week’s home learning plan for you, like last week I will post any resources you need on the website the day before.

We are going to be doing our Art activities for 2 days this week as you have been working so amazingly hard with your English and Maths I thought you deserved a special treat and the chance to do something a little different. We would have been doing Nature Sculptures in school as part of our 2 Art days so I thought it would be really nice to do this work as part of our home schooling.

Spellings

Spellings this week are: for, short, born, horse, morning, more, score, before, wore, shore

There will be a Power Point presentation linked to the spelling words on the website for you to look through. You can also have a go at the following to practice your spellings:

Play a game of hangman – someone chooses a spelling word and you have to work out which one it is (a classroom favourite!)

Can you write a short funny poem? – using your spelling words as the rhyming words. Can you have a go at pyramid writing?

Phonics

We will be looking at the sound /air - are/ this week. I hope you have all found the Phonics Play website useful, do let me know how you are getting on. I’m trying to keep the phonics activities fun for the children as that is best way to learn! Do let me know if you have had any problems or if you have found a favourite game. Free Phonics Play login - username : march20 and the password: home. Here is the link: https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/

This week for phonics I would like you to revise your sounds, have a look at the phonics play website and play some of the games. I would like you to revise all the sounds from Phase 3 – Phase 5. I have listed some of the games that I think will be most helpful for each phase. If you feel your child is confident with one phase and knows the sounds well try them with the next phase up. If they are confident with all 3 of these phases please take a look at the spelling activities in Phase 6.

Phase 3 – Pick a picture, Rocket Rescue, Grab a giggling grapheme, Make a Match

Phase 4 – Buried Treasure, Tricky work Trucks, Space race, Make a match

Phase 5 – Picnic on Pluto (all of phase 5), Flashcards Time challenge, Tricky word trucks, Cheeky chimps (choose which sound you want to work on)

(Phase 6 – Pond Life Plurals, Planetry Plurals, Compound word Splat)

There is also the ‘Monster game’, another fab way to practice and learn your phonics! https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/

English

Lesson What you will need

Monday Grammar - Writing sentenceshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmnxt39

Ipad/computer (access to internet)Conjunctions word

We are using BBC Bitesize today to practice our sentence writing skills, can you remember what the basic skills are (Capital letter, finger spaces, full stop)? Can you also try and use the conjunctions you learned about last week?Today I would like you to work on Activity 2 and 3, watch the video about the rainforest and then write down the different animals that live in the rainforest– can you use your phonics to help you spell them? I would then like you to complete Activity 3, write a postcard to someone about your time in the rainforest and write about what have you seen and what it is like.If you want to you can go back and play some of the games on the Small Town Super Heroes game.

I would like you to complete the Level 1 sheet unless you are in the Ladybirds reading group, you need Level 2.You do not need to complete the different level sheets just one.When completing the questions, think about what reading skills you need to use – Retrieving information, sequencing events, inference (looking for clues), vocabulary (new words) and predicting what might happen next.Share a story, or listen to one of my story time videos, can you answer any of these questions: What do you think might happen next? How is the main character feeling? What makes you think

this? What has happened so far?

Wednesday

As part of our Art days I would like you to take a look at the Power Point all about Andy Goldsworthy. Andy Goldsworthy is an artist who likes to make art pieces from natural objects, this is what we are going to be doing this week.When you have finished reading through the Power Point I would like you to write 2 or 3 sentences about Andy Goldsworthy – what did you learn about him (Fact retrieval!) and what was your favourite art piece?Then start to think about which natural objects you could create art pieces from.

Andy Goldsworthy Power Point

Thursday Start by looking through the pictures on the PDF Natural or man- made – Can you sort the pictures? Think about what makes an object natural or man-made.Take a look in your garden and find a natural object to draw?Use the Observational drawing tips sheet and think about how you will draw your chosen object.Now draw your object, will you use just pencils or will you add some colour with paints or coloured pencils?I look forward to seeing your drawings, do email me pictures

Natural or man madePDFObservational drawing tips

Friday Look through the Land Art Power Point, think about what Sculpture is and what the different pieces of land art are made from - are these things you might find on a walk today? (Perhaps not the sculptures made of snow!)Today I would like you to go on a walk, whilst you are walking collect some natural objects that you can use to create your own land art with. Think about the pictures in the Power Point – how did Andy Goldsworthy arrange his objects, what shapes did he create?I would like you to take a photo of your land art to show me, you could have a go at making the flour paste to help stick pieces down, especially if it’s a bit windy outside! To make the

Land Art PowerPointNatural ObjectsFlourWaterCamera

Optional:Card, Sellotape, flowers, leaves, string.

flour paste you just need some flour and a little bit of water to make a gloopy paste, you don’t want it too runny!If you are really enjoying the art this week I did find this natural object light catcher you could have a go at making?For this you will need some cardboard to make a frame and some Sellotape to stick flowers to. I thought it looked lovely and would fit in with our art topic quite well.

Maths

Lesson What you will needMonday Adding and subtracting by making 10

We have reached the end of the Numbers to 100 unit in the Power Maths book so this week (3 days – 2 Art days) we will be practising different methods of addition and subtraction.

Science

This week we will be finishing off our topic on the Human Body and Senses. I found this link to the Children’s University of Manchester, there are lots of different activities to complete and some good videos explaining how our senses work and what connections are made in the brain. Take a look, I had a go at some of the activities, they were good fun and you can get a certificate at the end!
