Year 1 homework blog - 22.03.21

22/3/2021

 

Welcome back! 

Hello and welcome back to your homework for this week. I am impressed with how well you have settled back into school and the routines we have here. Well done you!! 

Don't forget it is so very important to read and talk about a book EVERY DAY!! 
Remember on day 1 you may wish to look at the front cover and the blurb and make a prediction about what you think the story will be about. Then, on day 2 you could read the book and think about why events happened. Finally, on day 3 you could recap the book and discuss your favourite parts or sequence the story. Reading is about so much more than just being able to read the words on the page, we need to understand them too!

Let's have another brilliant week year 1!

Reading:
Have a look at The orchid thief.’
www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
Read and enjoy the book and make sure you discuss any words you come across that you do not know the meaning of.

Then think about these questions - you do not need to write your answers down! 
  • Do you now know what an orchid is?
  • Turn to page 9, what do you think Alex is doing in the picture?
  • Why do you think the lady stole the orchids?
Picture

Phonics: 
Here is your last online phonics lesson to complete. I cannot wait to see how well you are doing with your phonics and reading!! 
Here you are going to look at all the letter combinations for the oo/u-e sound. 


English: To write a simple sentence using the suffix -ed.
On Wednesday you practised using the -ed suffix to turn words into the past tense.
Today you are going to use some of those words, or any others you wish to use, to describe what the children did in the book.
For example:
The children climbed into the house.

Can you write a couple of sentences to describe what the children in the story did using the -ed suffix? How many sentences can you write? 

Listen to the story again to help you: 


Maths: To measure lengths.
Watch and join in with the last maths lesson of the week found here: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-8-measurement-length-and-height/ 
​Complete the questions below when asked to throughout the lesson. 


Catch up afternoon: 
As always you have this afternoon to complete any work you may have missed during the week. 

​Let's finish our home learning with another story: 


SEE YOU ON MONDAY ?

Home Learning blog - Day 37 - WORLD BOOK DAY

4/3/2021

 

Happy World Book Day!

Today is world book day! This is going to take a very different structure to what we are used to in school. But, we are going to have a day off timetable (apart from maths). 
We usually dress up as your favourite character from a story but you do not need to do this at home, however, if you do wish too, I would love to see your fantastic outfits! 

​We will begin today with a story, this one is one of my favourites: 


Now its challenge time! 
Here are two creative challenges for you to choose from, please only do one, but it is nice to have the option! We will celebrate your creative pieces in tomorrow blog, so please send them over to me as soon as possible. 
Year1@st-agnes.towerhamlets.sch.uk
​​
Option 1: Paint a potato
Decorate a potato as a character from a book using paint. Be as inventive as you like. The potato does not have to be a character. It can be an object or scene or setting from a book Please challenge yourself. Take a look at the pictures to get ideas.
Picture
Option 2: Anything egg box
​Use old egg boxes to create artwork based on a book. This can be a character which is the obvious choice but challenge yourself to be creative with your ideas. In one example here, an old egg box have been used to create the backpack from the front cover of The Boy at the Back of the Class.
Picture

You could also, if you have time, listen to another one of my favourite stories, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and complete the activity booklet below. 


Maths: ​To measure lengths and heights
Today you have another practical activity to help you explore different lengths and heights. 
Follow along with the lesson here 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-8-measurement-length-and-height/

What objects around your house can you use to measure with?
Using blocks or something similar, can you measure the length of your cutlery?
 
Now find some other objects to measure. What will you use to measure them with? Remember they need to be the same size!   
Have fun exploring!!


I hope you have a wonderful world book day! Can you share your favourite story with someone at home?

Good Morning Everyone!!

Welcome back, we are on the home straight and will be seeing each other in the classroom so soon! 
I am so excited to see all your smiling faces 😃

Don't forget to send your work over to: 
Year1@st-agnes.towerhamlets.sch.uk 
Lets get started... 
Reading: 
Today we are completing our work on ‘Whats that noise?’
You can find it here:

Now tell me:
What did you learn about noise?
Which animal makes the loudest noise?
Did you like the book? Why/why not?

Phonics: 
Today's phonics lesson is a review lesson. You will recap the sounds you have looked at recently. 
Remember to use www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources for some extra practise too!  

English: To use the suffix -ed.
To begin today's lesson, go to: 
www.bbc.co.uk/games/embed/small-town-superheroes?exitGameUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fbbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzncgvk7 
Click on prefixes and suffixes and then choose the easy option. Go through the game adding the correct prefix/suffix to each word.
Today we are going to look at verbs - these are words that tell you to do an action.
We can add -ed to the end of these to turn it into an action that happened in the past.
For example: 
jump becomes jumped 

​Add -ed to the verbs below and then act out the action.


​
Maths: To compare lengths and heights.

​Follow along with the lesson and complete the questions when you are asked to. 

RE: To understand that Lent is an opportunity to change.
Lent is a time to look at the ways in which we can change and live like Jesus.  People can change and become more loving, kinder and more helpful. 
 
Have a look at this picture:

Home Learning blog - Day 35

2/3/2021

 

Good Morning Year 1!

I hope you are having fun at home and enjoying your last week of home learning! I know I've said it before, but you all are really making me so proud, you are working so very hard at home!

Here is the email you need to send your work over to me: 
Year1@st-agnes.towerhamlets.sch.uk 

Here are your learning activities for today: 
Reading: 
We are going to continue to read ‘Whats that noise?’
Find it here: 
www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
​
Open up the book and look at the contents page. This page tells us what page we can turn to, to find out about specific noises. What page do you need to turn to, to find out about noises we may hear under the sea?
 
Now have a go at reading the book from cover to cover.
Picture

Phonics: 
Just like yesterday, we are going to look at all the different ways we can make an 'oa' sound. Start by writing down the letter combinations that you can remember, then we will see if there are any others that you may have missed off. 
Now listen and join in with the below lesson. 


English: To write in role.
Choose one of these to listen and watch the story. 

This is Our House by Michael Rosen from Candlewick Press on Vimeo.


Here is a picture of George looking at his house with all the other children inside.
​What do you think George might be thinking?
Can you write this down whilst pretending to be George in 
a thought bubble?
Picture


Maths: To compare heights. 
Today we are looking at heights. Find today's lesson here: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-8-measurement-length-and-height/
​

Can you measure your height? How tall are you? What did you use to measure your height?
Can you find someone at home who is taller than you? How about someone shorter than you.
Can you find three objects taller and shorter than you? How about three objects that are the same height as you?
Remember to measure carefully!



Science: To identify and name a range of everyday materials 
Today I would like you to become detectives.
​Can you find different cups or spoons around your house. 

​Try to find as many different cups/spoons as possible. Now look very carefully at them:
  • Can you identify what they are made?
  • How many materials can be used to make spoons/cups? 



Have a fab day everyone, 
​Miss Kennedy x
