Year 1

This week Year 1 have been looking at place value with numbers to 20. This weeks homework consolidates their learning about tens and ones. I have assigned a task on Classroom Secrets KIDS- Tens and Ones Year 1 Lesson Slides.

Reception

Reception have been continuing with their work on numbers 4 and 5 this week. I have assigned a game on Classroom Secrets KIDS to consolidate their understanding of matching number to quantity- EYFS Christmas Match Numerals to Objects Game.

Year 1: This week year 1 have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. For their home learning I have set two activities on Classroom Secrets KIDS; sorting 2D shapes and sorting 3D shapes.

Reception: Reception have been looking at the numbers 4 and 5 this week. For their home learning I have set a sorting activity with numbers to 5 on Classroom Secrets KIDS. I have also set a number ordering game for them to have a go at.

Reception

For this week’s homework I have set a maths activity on Classroom Secrets Kids looking at identifying one less than a given number. If you are unsure of your login details please let me know and I can reprint them for you.

Year 1

For this week’s homework I have set two maths activities on Classroom Secrets Kids looking at addition and subtraction. If you are unsure of your login details please let me know and I can reprint them for you.

Year 1 have also got an additional challenge this week. For our topic learning this term we are looking at toys and comparing the toys that we play with to the toys that our parents/grandparents used to play with. This week children came up with some questions to ask their parents/grandparents so the homework task is to find the answers to the following questions:

What is your favourite toy?

What did you like about it?

What is it made of?

Does it move?

Does it talk?

I have set some activities on our online learning platforms for half term. All of the activities are entirely optional and are only there to complete should your child wish to.

Year 1

Purple mash~ I have set some phonics activities that focus on the sounds covered so far in phase 5.

Classroom secrets KIDS~ I have set the 12 week programme for year 1 maths. Children should work through at their own pace, the week by week outline is there as guidance but does not need to be followed. The programme will identify any areas that your child finds tricky and will suggest activities for them to complete to develop their learning. It will also identify where your child needs additional challenges and will provide activities to do this.

Reception

Purple mash~ I have set some phonics activities that focus on the phase 2 sounds we have learnt so far.

Classroom secrets KIDS~ I have set maths activities that focus on length, height, weight and patterns.

Reading and tricky words

Children have been sent home with additional reading books this week and should continue to read as much as possible. They have also got their tricky words to practise, it is a good idea to revisit previously learnt tricky words to ensure retention.

You have all been working incredibly hard over the past few months and the work set below is by no means compulsory however I have provided a few ideas and links that you can dip into:

Phonics

All of the Letters and Sounds online lessons are still available via youtube for you to access.

You could also select any of the Mr Thorne does phonics videos.

Phonics play has a good selection of games to challenge different areas of phonics and access to all of the games continues to be free.

The children in school have particularly been enjoying a spelling game. I select three sounds and have them on display for the children to see. I will then give them words to spell that contain one of the sounds, if they spell it correctly they get a point. It’s very simple but the points system really seems to have them hooked!

Literacy

Below are two Talk for Writing packs that contain activities that can be spread out across the week. I have attached different packs for Year 1 and Reception but feel free to dip into either of the packs:

Year 1: Sayeeda

Memory Jars

In School we will be completing a return to school memory jar. We will be talking about who we have been at home with as well as our favourite moments whilst completing home learning. We will then extend the activity by talking about what we are looking forward to about coming back to school in September. This is a great way to open a discussion about any concerns your child may have about coming back. If there are any concerns please feel free to email me or request a phone call to discuss them further.
