Year 1 Home Learning Curriculum

Year 1 – Home Learning Support for Week Beginning 21/9/20

Year 1 staff have provided a list of activities and links to support your child learning at home during this temporary closure. These activities match the areas of the curriculum being taught this week in school. You do not have to do everything.  Our advice is to complete one English activity and one Maths activity every day. You can then chose a third activity from either science, geography or art.  In addition. the handwriting, phonics and PE activities can be attempted at any time.

Work completed can be collected together and brought into show the class teacher after we fully reopen.

English

  1. Giving instructions

Watch this film about making a sandwich  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2KxoWtb2VE 

Notice how he starts most sentences with a bossy verb like ‘get’,  ‘ put’,   ‘spread’. 

Choose what you want to give instructions for, it could be many things!   Brushing your teeth, baking a cake,  playing a game like It or Hopscotch,   getting dressed… the list is endless.

The only important bit to remember is that every sentence begins with a ‘bossy’ verb.  For example:  Put the butter on the bread.   Spread it all over the slice right up to the edges.   Choose your favourite filling and spread it on top of the butter.  Press both slices together and cut the sandwich in half.

It could be for:  brushing your teeth;  playing a game like hopscotch or ‘It’ or perhaps everyone’s favourite, making a sandwich.
