Y1 Home Learning - Week Beg 3.6.20
First Of All A Note for Mums and Dads:
Hello everyone! Mrs Young (from Beech Class) here. I’m now going to be planning the Y1 home learning for those who are not back to school yet. I know Mrs Grimes is a hard act to follow but I hope you'll also enjoy my activities also! Any useful feedback on the quantity and type of activities I set will be welcome.
I’m really looking forward to getting to know you and your children. The work tasks here are a guide so please feel free to choose the activities best suited to your child or adapt them. Please email me photos of the lovely activities you do and feel free to contact me about any questions or queries you have. I like to hear from families at least once a week so that I know everyone is safe and then I can help with any issues. You can contact me at:
Miss Whitlow is planning for reception children so we’ll both be posting work on the Plum Class page. Please feel free to choose some of those activities depending on the interests and abilities of your child. You can contact Miss Whitlow at:

Hello Boys and Girls
Here is this week's Home Learning for Year 1s
English
* Did you like the video I posted? Well now you know about me, I’d like to find out a bit about you. Please write some sentences about yourself.
- What do you look like?
- Where do you live?
- Do you have any pets?
- What do you like to do at school or at home?
Don’t forget to use full stops and capital letters in your writing.
* Now we don’t want to be losing the hang of our handwriting so let’s concentrate on forming those letters correctly.
This week, we’re looking at long ladder letters.
The long ladder letters are:
l, t, u, y, i and j.
Here’s a short video to remind you how to form long ladders letters correctly:

Don’t forget, there are lots of ways of practising forming letters correctly, as well as with a pencil and paper. Here are a few (you’ll need to check with a grown up first before trying some of these):
- Grab a paintbrush and a bucket of water and write them on the ground or wall.
- Draw the long ladder letters on your grown ups back. Can they guess which letter you wrote? (Use your finger for this, don’t use a real pen!)
- Melt some chocolate and spread a thin layer on a tray, then write the letters in the chocolate (make sure you’ve washed your hands really well first). Try not to lick your fingers until you’ve finished!
- Squirt a little shaving foam into a washing-up bowl and use your finger to write the letters in the foam (don’t lick your fingers after this one).
- Draw the biggest long ladder letters that you can.
- For all of these activities, try to remember to form the letters correctly! ALWAYS START AT THE TOP!
There is a downloadable handwriting guide below if you need it. It has a reminder of the correct formation for letters.
Maths
Do you like counting? I love to count. This week we are going to focus on counting up to 100. Let’s get going. . . . .
*Watch the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxgCA1qOW20
Join in with the counting. When you get to 9, don’t forget to go up to the next ten so after 29 is 30 not “twenty-ten”, after 39 is 40 not “thirty-ten”, after 49 is . . . . ? That’s right 50! If you get stuck use a numberline to help you. (I’ve put one below which you can copy or print out).
* Now to practise your counting. Look around your house or your garden or out when you are walking. Look for things to count. Here are some ideas, you could count:
- A pile of Lego.
- A bunch of flowers.
- A box of toy cars.
- Anything else you can find!
To make counting easier put the objects in groups of ten to start with (if you can) then you can count in tens and then add on the left over ones.
* If you can, print the worksheet below called “Counting to 100”, print it and fill in the answers, if not count the objects on the screen and say the number.
**Mums and Dads, feel free to make these activities easier or harder by changing the numbers or practising the practical counting more.
Topic:
We are going to find out a bit more about Alnwick this term about where it is and what it’s like.
* Draw me a picture of your house. Put lots of detail on so I can tell how many windows it has and what colour the door is. I also want to see what is next to your house. Are there houses next door or fields or even shops? Draw as much detail as possible. If you want an extra challenge label all the different things on your picture too. If your Mum or Dad can take a photo and email it to me I’d love to see your drawings.
* Have a look at your house on Google Earth (if you don’t have the app on your device it is free to download). Type your postcode or address into the search button (you might have to ask Mums and Dads if you are not sure what your postcode is). You can have a look at our school as well (NE66 1UL) or maybe you can find other places you know in Alnwick.
* In our town there is a very famous landmark called The Tenantry Column. Make a model of the column. You could use junk boxes, Playdoh or anything you’d like. Here’s a picture to help:
Have fun and don’t forget to email me to show me your work.
