Reading:
Your child should be reading regularly for enjoyment.
To enhance their understanding of ‘The Seaside’’ topic we would recommend reading books connected to the topic. For example, any non-
fiction books related to the seaside, rock pools, the sea or sea creatures. Books in ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’ series, Grandma’s Seaside
Bloomers, Lucy and Tom At the Seaside, Sally and the Limpet, At the Beach, Seaside Poems, Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey,
Mister Seahorse.
Phonics:
Daily lessons available on the DfE ‘Letters and Sounds’ online resource: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_FbjYUP_UtldV2K_-
niWw/channels?view_as=public You also have the support materials we sent home in the original Home Learning Pack.
Spelling:
Practise spelling the Year 1 Common Exception words and days of the week. It is also useful to practise reading and writing the 100 high
frequency words.
Useful websites:
These websites all provide additional learning opportunities around the topic.

Subject Learning
Objective
Activity & Teaching Points Key Vocabulary Resources
Maths I can share
objects into
groups.
Go to White Rose Home Learning to watch the
introductory video.
You will need to go to Summer Term – Week 1 (w/c 20
April), Lesson 3.
Give your child time to practise sharing objects into
groups practically. You can use any objects around the
house.
Then encourage your child to draw pictures to show
sharing into groups e.g. 10 into 5 groups.
You may then want to do some of the worksheets
available on White Rose that accompany the video.
Teaching Points:
Start with small numbers of objects e.g. 4 Lego shared
into 2 cups and gradually build up to bigger numbers. Ask
your child to check that each group has the same
number – children often find the term ‘fair’ helps them
to understand the idea of equal. Make sure the starting
number can be equally shared into the groups and there
are no remainders e.g. 7 would not be able to be shared
into 3 groups.
Some children might be able to make links to the
learning they did on grouping for making multiplication
arrays before half term.

Selection of objects from around the
house.
Pencil, paper.
Writing I can describe
a character.
Ask your child to listen to their teacher read ‘Steven
Seagull Action Hero’ and look carefully at the pictures
as she reads. You can also follow along with the words
with the attached transcription.
Ask your child to tell you some information about each
character, especially Harry, Lola and Rick. Can they tell
you:
What kind of animal they are
What their job on the beach is
Beach, retired,
renegade, suspect,
stealing, sand, ice-
cream seller,
lifeguard, referee.
Copy of Steven Seagull (read by
teacher on Dojo)
Pencil, paper
Character description word mats
(attached)
What their alibi is for not stealing the sand
Activity:
Ask your child to choose one of the characters and
write a description of them, make sure they include
what the character’s job is.
E.g. Lola is a rotund lifeguard. She wears bright red
lipstick and sits on a high wooden chair for spotting
people.
Some children might just write a few words or one
sentence but encourage your child to write a few high-
quality sentences if you feel they are able to do so.
Teaching Points:
Once you have chosen the character to write about, your
child might want to think about different adjectives to
describe that character before they start writing their
sentences. Can they also make some guesses about their
personality? What adjectives would they use for this
particular character?
See the attached word mats for some inspiration.
Topic I can locate
the seaside in
the UK.
I can name
the seas that
surround the
UK.
Look at the attached map of the UK or look at a map in
an atlas. Can the children find the names of the three
seas which surround the British Isles?
Using Google Maps (or other interactive map software),
ask the children to locate these popular seaside resorts
on the map:
Blackpool
Skegness
Brighton
Bournemouth
Whitby
Weymouth
Weston-super-Mare
Southport
Hastings
UK, map, atlas,
North Sea, Irish
Sea, English
Channel, Google
Maps.
Map of UK (attached).
Google Maps
Isle of Wight
If you are able to print out a copy of the map, challenge
your child to mark these places on the map. Are there
some more seaside resorts that they/you know that you
want to locate?
Challenge: The French call the English Channel by a
different name. Can you find out what it is?
Teaching Points:
When using Google Maps, it shows you some photos of
the place and some quick facts. To see exactly where
the resort is in the UK, you will need to zoom out using
the – symbol in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Creative I can
represent a
fictional
character.
After reading/watching your class teacher read ‘Steven
Seagull: Action Hero’ the children will create a version
of either Steven Seagull or Claude von Crabbe.
See the images attached for ideas about how to create
a seagull or crab from a paper plate.
Teaching Points:
Look at how your child holds their scissors. Have they
got a comfortable and efficient grip? In the resources
section is a video showing children about the correct
technique.
Paper plates or other thin
cardboard. Paints or
pens/pencils/crayons, scissors and
glue.

Mindfuln
ess I can show
gratitude.
In this activity, the children think about things that
they are thankful for.
Sitting or standing opposite a partner hold an imaginary
tennis racquet and take it in turns to say something that
Gratitude, thankful,
kind, nice, happy,
clean, healthy.
None
you are thankful for e.g. ‘That my adults make sure
there is food in the house’, ‘That my daughter is kind to
her brother’. Keep going until you cannot think of more!
Teaching Points:
If your child is having difficulty thinking of things you
could first model the activity using someone else at
home. You could also support them by giving them
suggestions. If possible, try to avoid things like ‘I am
thankful for my PlayStation’.
Steven Seagull Action Hero
By Elys Dolan
Today Steven is retired.
But he used to be a cop.
Now Steven’s ex-partner, Mac, needs him back on the force.
“I can’t come back,” said Steven “Sergeant Starfish fired me for being too much of a renegade.”
“But we need you,” said Mac. “Someone’s been stealing Beach City’s sand and leaving massive holes everywhere. Look, we’re in one now. No cop has been able to find the sand thief. Will you help us save the beach?”
“A gull’s gotta do what a gull’s gotta do,” said Steven.
And with that, Steven and Mac set off to look for suspects.
Could Harry be a suspect?
“Harry, have you been digging these holes?” asked Steven.
“Nah, it wasn’t me, guv,” said Harry. “I’ve been too busy serving quality ice cream!”
“Yuck, this is definitely Harry’s ice cream,” said Mac.
Harry is innocent – this time.
Could Lola be a suspect?
“Lola, have you been stealing sand?” asked Steven.
“How dare you!” said Lola. “I’ve been too busy saving people. Just ask Mr Davidson over there.”
“She…rescued me,” said Mr Davidson. “I’ll never be the same.”
Lola is innocent – this time.
Could Rick be a suspect?
“Rick, have you been digging massive holes?” asked Steven.
“I don’t do that stuff anymore, “said Rick. “Anyway, these holes have ruined our game!”
“Yep, Rick’s game is in a whole lot of trouble,” said Mac.
Rick is reformed – for now.
Steven was stumped. Who on Earth would need so much sand?
“Er, Steven?” said Mac.
IT’S CLAUDE VON CRAB! GASP!
“Ahoy, Steven!” said Claude. “Finally, I have what every criminal mastermind needs. A base made entirely of sand!” “Claude, I should have known that you were behind this,” said Steven. “Come down with your claws up or I will fly up there and arrest
you!”
“I’d like to see you try,” said Claude. “We have beach balls and we’re not afraid to use them. Show them, Big Tony!”
WHAM!
Splish!
“Mac! Noooooo!” cried Steven.
With Mac floundering, Steven knew he needed to act quickly…
“HELP! HELP!”
“My friend is drowning!” cried Steven.
“Really, it’s fine,” said Mac. “I’m a fish.”
“Shhhh,” said Steven. “It’s all part of my plan.”
But Steven didn’t seem to have much of a plan, until…
THUMP! THUMP!
“I’ll save you!” cried Lola.
Everything became clear.
SPLASH!
Thanks to some quick thinking, Steven had conquered the castle and Beach City was saved.
“Claude Von Crab,” said Steven. “You are under arrest for sand theft, unauthorised use of a bucket and spade, and for assaulting an
officer with a beach ball.”
“Drat! Foiled again! said Claude.
Watch out bad guys of Beach City…
Steven is back!
