Science

Most plants begin life beneath the ground.  They grow from seeds, which drop into the soil.  There is a way you can see what happens out of sight under ground. A bean is the seed of a plant.  You can grow it in a glass jar, where you can see it clearly…     Why not investigate how the roots grow?

We would also love to see any other plants/ vegetables that you have spent time growing so far this summer 

Science        

Make a tin drum and a tom-tom. 

They make different kinds of sounds, but they work in the same way.  When you hit a drum’s stretched skin, it vibrates.  This makes the air inside the drum vibrate – and out comes the sound.

Using the differentiation grid … find your challenge!

Year 1 Home Learning Bingo

Here are some ideas for things you can do at home.

Every time you do one of these challenges cross it off on the bingo card.

Can you fill in the whole bingo card?

The sock challenge!

Ask your grownup for some socks to pair up and count them in twos.

What could you use to count in tens?

What could you use to count in fives?

The sweetie challenge!

Using sweets, pasta, or another small thing in your home, practise solving different addition and subtraction number sentences up to 20.

E.G. 13-7=6

Share a book with someone from home.

  • Talk about what you like about the book.
  • How did the characters feel at different times?

Help someone in the kitchen with some cooking or baking.

  • Help to measure the ingredients.
  • Help to tidy and wash up at the end.

Look out the window and talk about what you can see.

  • Weather
  • Objects
  • People

Could you keep a weather diary?

Draw pictures of the toys in your bedroom.

  • Can you label the materials used to make your toys?

Can you write a story using your number bonds to 20? For example:

“Once upon a time, there was 1 sad duck who wanted 19 friends to play with….”

Use your imagination to play a role play game

  • Dolls
  • Dressing up
  • Animals
  • Stuffed toys

Play a board game with someone at home.

Draw a picture of something amazing and write a story about it. Remember, a story should have:

  • A beginning
  • A problem
  • A solution to the problem

Use your phonics flashcards to build words.

  • Can you make real words?
  • Can you make alien words?

Design an alien and give them an alien name made from your phonics flashcards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phonics - Pure Sounds

Please look at the video below for the pure pronunciation of sounds.

Number bonds Game

 

Click on the link below to play 'Hit the Button' It's a fast paced game that helps to learn and consolidate number facts. This is great to practise number bonds!

Maths

We have been working hard in maths this term and have particularly enjoyed our practical maths, using objects from around the classroom. We have learnt all about sharing and grouping with numbers up to 20 and discovered that only EVEN numbers can be shared equally by 2.

 

PE

 

We have enjoyed our PE lessons both indoor and outdoor this term. We have been focusing on team games and gymnastics (making shapes with our bodies).

 

 

We're going on a Witch hunt....

 

Earlier this term we went on a hunt around the school grounds and found lots of items such as hats, scarfs, bows and skirts. We soon worked out that these belonged to the witch from the story 'Room on a Broom' and realised she had come to visit us to help us with our writing in English. We enjoyed learning about the book and writing lost posters, stories and descriptions.

 

 

Castles

During our castles topic we went to the EYFS playground and built castles in the sand pit. We experimented with the structure and design of the castles and investigated what would happen if we added water to the moats.
