Phonics

This week we are going to be recapping on the oi sound that can be spelled in different ways, this will be linked to our Literacy lessons. There is the oi spelling in boil and coins and the oy spelling in boy and royal.

Literacy

We are going to be writing a set on instructions this week. The story book we are going to use to help us with this work is called Eddie’s Garden and how to make things grow by Sarah Garland. The instructions you will be writing involve explaining to someone, who does not know, how to grow plants.

You may want to listen to the story first with pictures so it is familiar to you before you start the lesson, or you can listen to it after lesson 1 if you prefer. It is a lovely story!

The Wider Curriculum

PSHE

This week we would like you to listen to this special story about a koala bear who was worried about trying something new. He overcame his fear in the end. Have you ever felt like that about something new or different? You may talk with your parent or carer about this.

I wonder how you are feeling about moving to Year 2 in September? You may be beginning to think about this soon as are your parents too. Remember, everybody feels a mixture of excitement and nerves. You will find such exciting new things to learn and experience with your new teacher in Year 2! It will be great!

Here is the video of this lovely story…

 

Science

This week we are recapping on the four seasons we have in the UK. Can you name the seasons and think about how the weather changes in the differing seasons. What happens in nature with plants, trees and how do you see these changes? What about the habits of animals and birds in the different seasons?

  Video about the Seasons  

Can you fold some paper into 4 parts and this time think about an animal like an hedgehog, squirrel or bird like a robin or blackbird and think about how its habits change in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter?

You could draw a picture and write a short sentence for each season.

Geography

See the source image

We hope you are enjoying finding out about India. This week we have found two interesting videos about living in one of the biggest cities called Mumbai. You will notice lots of interesting sights and sounds in Mumbai. As you are watching the videos, try to think what is like compared to our life in Northampton. Do you notice anything that is similar and other things that are different?

Video 1-Welcome to Mumbai

Video 2- Life in Mumbai

 

Art

In India, people paint their hands with Henna which is a special natural dye for different occasions.

Can you draw around one or both of your hands? You may need an adult to help you. Now can you decorate the drawn hand/s like the Mendhi patterns in this picture. Look closely at the patterns. Aren’t they beautiful?

Henna, Hands, Mehendi, Pattern, Female, Palms, Design

 

We hope you have a great week of Home learning and look forward to hearing from you by email or by comments on the blog.

Best Wishes from the Year One Team.

    Feel really bad as Eloise completed her reading challenge at the beginning of lockdown and was really excited and proud about ut. As nothing was said about it, i thought it had been abandoned and got rid of the piece of paper! oops.
