Year 1 Home Learning Wednesday 27th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 11:39am

Good morning Year 1 and a big welcome to all your Wednesday learning. We are loving all your pirate stories and we are impressed with all your ideas and pirate vocabulary. It is lovely seeing you all having a good go at your home learning, keep it up. 

Reading

It's brilliant that so many of you are collecting new reading books from school. Keep reading every single day. Today, after reading one of your books have a think and a talk about what happened in the story and when it happened. What happened after …….?  What was the first thing that happened in the story? Can you say in a sentence the opening/middle/end of the story?

Phonics

To warm up, play a game of buried treasure here. Username - Jan21 and Password - Home 

Choose Phase 3 (+oo sound) and Phase 5 (ew or ue sounds)

Visit Seesaw for your Phonics learning today. We will be looking at our split u_e sound and looking carefully to build our words. Watch the video below to remind yourselves of the u_e sound.

English

Sometimes when pirates get stranded on an island the only way they can communicate is by writing a message in a bottle, throw it into the sea and hope that someone finds it.

Watch this video Message in a Bottle

Imagine you are stranded on an island. 

• Who are you going to write your message to?
• What will you tell them?
• Describe where you are, what can you see?
• How are you feeling?
• What are you eating and drinking?
• Is there anyone else there ?

Talk about what you are going to write then write your message. Remember your Think Pinks. 

Maths

Have a look back at the counting videos we've shared (you can find these on view all blogs) 

Yesterday we found our comparing number sentences a little tricky so today we are going to look back at comparing numbers and using our maths vocabulary.

More than, Fewer than, Greater than, Less than, Greatest and Smallest.

Watch the video on comparing numbers here and complete the worksheet attached. 

Play our Counting caterpillars - Ordering numbers game here to get ready for our learning tomorrow. Start with numbers up to 20, then 50 and 100)

French

This week we are moving on to FARM ANIMALS. Can I name some farm animals in French?

Here’s a song to sing along to start: On the Farm

Here is a video with farm animal words. Repeat the words with the speaker.

Attached is a sheet with 7 farm animals. Print out the sheet (or do 7 drawings). Hide the pictures round the room. When your child finds one, s/he should give the word in French. Then it’s their turn to hide them!

Here is a song to finish – Old MacDonald had a farm in French. It’s a bit fast so may be better played on 0.75 speed. See if you can pick up the sounds the animals make in French. They’re not all the same! The word used for sheep is une brebis (oon brubee) – a ewe.

Merci beaucoup. A bientot!

Music

Last week we really enjoyed exploring pulse and creating our own rhythm patterns. Today we are looking at creating movements to physicalise pulse. Watch the video below and join in with Miss Glover at the Oak Academy.
