Home Learning blog - Day 34

Welcome back Year 1!

This is the start of our last week of home learning, I am looking forward to seeing you in the classroom next week to continue our learning together. 

I miss you all so much and I am so excited. Lets have one last push with our learning at home this week so I can congratulate you on everything you have achieved when we get back into school. 

Here are your activities for today: 

Reading: 
We are going to look at the book: 'What's that noise?' today. Find it here: 
www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
 
Today we are going to start to look at a non-fiction book. These books give us information about a topic.
 
Flick through the book (do not read it yet!) and look at some of the pictures together.
​Can you think of some loud noises and some quiet ones?
 
This book introduces some key terms: decibels and measured. Discuss what these words mean. Have a think about other things you may measure.

Phonics: 
In today's phonics lesson you are going to look at all the different ways you can make an 'ai' sound. Before looking at the lesson below, try to write down all the different ways you can make an 'ai' sound. What are the different letter combinations? 

English: To sequence a story.
The word of the week for this week is: 'boasting'. 
Can you use it within your work this week? What does the word ‘boasting’ mean?
 
Listen to the story again.

​Today you are going to try to sequence 5 pictures from the story. Have a look at the images below and put them in the order in which they appear in the book. 
Your next job is to write captions for the images. Remember these are short sentences that describe the image. These help you to retell the story using the images. 

Maths: To compare lengths
In today's lesson you will need to find a spoon. You can find this weeks maths lessons here:
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-8-measurement-length-and-height/ 
​Watch and join in with the lesson and then practically explore different lengths:

• Can you find three other objects that are longer and shorter than your spoon? Remember to line your objects up carefully to compare them.
• Then you need to look at your hand and compare the lengths on your fingers. Which of your fingers is the longest and shortest? Are any of your fingers the same lengths? 

PE: Move to the beat - Extravaganza 
Have a go at the below lesson, it follows on from last weeks PE lesson, so if you did not manage to complete that one, scroll back through the blogs and do that one first! 

Here is some extra information to watch before you start: 

Have a fab day everyone!!
