Week commencing 15.06.20

Year 1 – Home Learning Tasks

For parents of children who have returned to school:

We will be completing the first 2 sessions on this plan for Maths, English and Phonics in

school. Please do not do these 2 sessions at home!

Sessions three to five stand alone, so they can be completed at home either at the

beginning of the week (if your child is in school on Thursday/Friday) or at the end of the

week (if your child is in school on Monday/Tuesday).

We will also aim to complete the following subjects: Science, History, Music and PSHE.

For parents of children who have not returned to school:

Please continue with the home learning as normal and try to complete sessions one to five for Maths, English and Phonics. Thank you for your patience – any queries please contact either Miss Childs or Mrs Hughes via the class email addresses.

Maths This week we will be consolidating work on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We will then be moving on to

making equal groups and then adding them.

Maths at School:

Please do not complete if your child has returned to school on Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and

Friday.

Session one - Fluency

Session One Activity

The session will begin with a recap on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. You may like to have a go at these to

check the understanding from last week:

Equal / Unequal Groups

Use up to 20 small objects such as pasta pieces, raisins, buttons, stones etc. Count out a number of objects

together. Predict whether they can be shared equally into 2 groups or not. Then do this practically to see if

you were right! Establish that even numbers or multiples of 2 can be shared equally, but odd numbers

cannot. Complete the chart below to check understanding.

English at School:

Session One It’s story time. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiy3a1v9Q2E . Listen to the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Retelling the story. Look carefully at the six Story Cards. Say what is happening in each of the pictures and put them in the correct story order. You could watch the story again to check what happens if you need to. Can you retell the story to someone in your best storyteller voice? Adding captions to pictures. Write punctuated sentences to go with each of the Two Pictures from The Billy Goats Gruff. Make sure your sentences start with capital letters and have full stops and good finger spaces between words. Session Two Story time. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiy3a1v9Q2E and relisten to the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff if you wish. Questions and question marks. Look at the set of Special Question Words. Read each word carefully and practise spelling each one three times on the spelling sheet. If you need to, you can practise forming a question mark correctly on the following sheet. Writing a speech bubble conversation. Look at the picture of Little Goat and the Troll. In his bubble, write a question that Little Goat could ask the Troll (check that you have spelt your question word correctly and formed your question mark properly), then write the reply that the Troll gives. Then take the Challenge: write questions and answers to go in the bubbles for more characters on What did you say?

English at Home:

Session Three It’s story time! Read and enjoy The Billy Dogs Gruff by Ruth Merttens and Jackie Abey (saved as separate

pdf file). Ask children if they know what story this is based on (remind them of the story of the Billy Goats

Gruff if need be). Ouch! Do you feel sorry for the crocodile having his mouth stuck open like that? Why or

why not?

8

Writing a letter. Read A Letter from the Goats to the Troll. On a new piece of paper, write a letter from the dogs to the crocodile, beginning Dear Croc… Politely ask the crocodile to let you cross the river by the tree branch and explain why you want to go to the other side of the river. Say what you’ll do for the Crocodile to make it up to him! Can you add a P.S. message after your signature? Session Four Story time. Re-read The Billy Dogs Gruff.

Plurals. With a grown up, read the information on Spelling Plurals. Now read Croc’s Big Day. Look at the

highlighted words. Write out each highlighted word in its plural form on More than One, placing each word

in the correct column, -s or -es. The first one is done for you.

Take Croc’s Snappy Challenge: add some extra words of your own to each column.

Beware of the Croc! The dogs want to put a notice up near the river, warning animals about the crocodile.

What will they say on their notice? Write out their message on the Notice Board. Add some drawings to

the picture.

Session Five Reading. Read The Troll and the Crocodile.

What’s under the bridge? What other scarier monster could have been hiding by the river in the story?

Can you draw it?

Scarier still? Then, write punctuated sentences describing your scary creature in the same way as the troll

and the crocodile are described.

History:

This week we would have been looking at the achievements of Amy Johnson and comparing them with those of Ranulph Fiennes (see last week’s history). Explain to the children that in 1930, this young British woman from Hull became the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia, a journey of 18,000km that took her 19 days. You can learn all about the route she took, her life and her further adventures here https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/all-about-amy-johnson-powerpoint-t-h-294 Discuss the qualities that Amy would have needed to be a great pioneering aviator and explorer that are the same as those shown by Ranulph today – bravery, courage, persistence and determination. Then complete the fact file about Amy and her achievements (scroll down). Challenge: Can the children think of any other qualities that Amy would have needed as a woman 90 years ago that Ranulph Fiennes does not have to be concerned about today? In 1930, only one in three women worked outside of the home, and only until they got married. Almost all women in Britain would have left school by age 14 and very few went on to study at university, unlike today. Those that did work were employed in what was considered then as ‘women’s work’, such as laundry, dressmaking, domestic and ‘in service’ occupations and work in textile mills and assembly lines. Some women were employed in professional jobs, such as teachers and nurses, and a few qualified as doctors. Given this situation, talk about what other challenges Amy must have faced, and conquered, to achieve what she did. Many people would have disapproved of what she was doing simply on the grounds of her being a woman. What might people have said to her?

BIG QUESTION: Imagine you are Amy Johnson. What might you have said to people to encourage them to

support you?

Art: In Art this term, we would have been looking at art made using paper. For our next lesson, we are going to use paper to make a collage. Ask the children if they know what a collage is, or if they have ever made one before. A collage is a piece of art that is made by bringing lots of different things together. This can be different types of paper, different colours of paper or even photographs and other pictures. You can also use fabric, buttons, ribbons and other objects on collages. Here are some examples:

14

To create their own collage which reflects their own personalities, provide the children with a piece of card and some materials that you have at home. They could use pictures of family, friends, pets or hobbies or cut out items from magazines or catalogues that they like. Encourage children to also include their favourite colours and to think about the overall look of their collage. Children can use different types of paper to create different textures, as well as adding items like buttons, sequins or ribbon to their collage.

15

Music: This is the last week working on the piece of music No Place Like, today we’re going to write our own story with sound effects. Warm-up. Sing your warm up song again. Today, why not try singing it really quiet, or really loud? What about really slow? Or really, really fast? Activity 1 – Explain to the children that you are going to write a story inspired by No Place Like. Watch No Place Like again at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5clQVzSPv8nPJvVQNdCW0rq/no-place-like-by-kerry-andrew and ask the children to pick their favourite sound. Pick a couple of these sounds to start off your group/ class home story. For example, it could be ‘PIZZA!’ and the siren sound. Activity 2 - Creating a story. With these sounds, ask the children, “I wonder what happens first in the story?” For example, ‘It was a dark night and two police women were called to the pizza restaurant.’ Ask the children for a sound (with an action) for the sentence that they’ve just come up with. For example, as it’s a dark night, maybe an owl can be heard, or a cat miaowing. Or maybe we hear the police car drive to the restaurant. Aim to come up with four or five sentences. Keep it simple! Practise the story with the sound effects. Have you got any instruments at home to help you? Could you use items you have at home that would make great sound effects? You might be able to use rice in empty plastic bottles, crumpled cellophane, saucepans and wooden spoons, plastic buckets and a stick to hit them with! Activity 3 – Take the words away! What sound comes first? Can anybody remember what happens next? Then what happened? Practise doing this a couple of times, and then see if you can do it with no words whatsoever!

PE:

Carry on with Joe Wicks’ virtual PE lesson every day from Monday to Friday at 9am on his YouTube channel TheBodyCoachTV at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz0go1pTda8 . Cosmic Yoga for kids is at https://cosmickids.com/ Get moving with the BBC Supermovers at https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-english-question-exclamation-marks-with-karim-hacker/zkrx92p (English) and https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-the-5-times-table/zhbm47h (maths). Mrs Lawes has included some great ideas for keeping active at https://www.hartsfield.herts.sch.uk/page/?title=Home+Learning+Resources&pid=185

PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education):

This week we will be looking at valuing difference. We will begin by looking at some characters from our

PSHCE scheme, who the children are likely to be familiar with. We will ask them what the things are that

make them different (Derek has a beak, Harold has a long neck etc.) These are things on the outside, but

we also have other things that make us the same or different to others. We will then watch some short

videos of Harold, Kiki and Derek talking about their special talents and we will discuss the things that make

16

them different to each other. The children will have an opportunity to share their special talents with the

class.

To find ways in which the children in the class are the same or different, we will play a circle game called:

‘I like bananas’. Finally we will take part in an activity called ‘Not quite twins’ where children will draw two

people on each side of a piece of paper. They must draw some things that make the people the same e.g.

brown hair, two eyes, wearing something blue etc. and also things that make them different e.g. one is a

boy, the other is a girl, the girl has longer hair etc. They can either write or discuss their answers.

We will then establish that being different to someone else does not make that person better or worse. We all have special talents which may be different to those of others. It’s important that we respect and celebrate the ways in which we are all different.
