Monday

  1. Literacy warm up – Sentence doctor

This week, it is your turn to be sentence doctors all on your own and show us how much you have learnt over the last half term. Complete the sheet in the downloads – make sure you find all of the mistakes! Try to join up your letters as you write the sentences out.

Sentence Doctor1

Literacy-Fruit poems

Today we are going to practise reading some poems with expression.

Watch the attached narrated PowerPoint presentation below. Pause at the second slide: What do you remember about poems? How do you recognise poems? We have learnt about poems in autumn and spring term. What do you remember about the features of poems? Watch the rest of the presentation.

There are many kinds of poems. You can write a poem on anything you like. When you write a poem, you can share sensations and feelings with someone else through the words you have chosen.

Activity: Choose one of the shape poems and one of the acrostic poems (see attached pdf document). What do you like about them? Think of the choice of words and any pattern you notice.

Practise reading the poems. Can you think of any actions that you could do to help you remember the words?

Challenge: How could you make that poem even better?

Tuesday

1.Literacy warm up – phonics revision

This half term in our phonics sessions we are going to be recapping different ways to make the same sound. Today, we are focusing on the ‘er’ sound. The three most common ways of representing this sound are er, ir and ur. However, ear (as in learn) and or(as in worst) can also be used.

Your first challenge is to read the sheet below and identify as many different words with the er sound as you can. This is also in the downloads if you wanted a printable copy.

Printables Altspellings Ur Phoneme Spotter

After that, we have a sorting activity for you to complete. There is a grid with all the different ways of making the ‘er’ sound listed at the top and then some examples of words for you to cut and stick/ write in the correct column. This can also be done just using a piece of paper and a pencil.

Literacy-Fruit poems

Today we are going to learn to describe some of the African fruit, using a range of adjectives.

Watch the PowerPoint presentation about fruit facts. Can you recall one fact about each of the fruits? Which fruit did you try out at home? Which fruit was your favourite and why?

Activity: Use the attached writing templates to describe a couple of fruits using all your senses. What did that fruit look like/feel like/smell like/taste like? What did it sound like when you had a bite from it or when you touched its skin? If you do not remember what the fruit looked like, please check our photographs to jog down your memory! Please use the attached word mat to support with the spelling.

Challenge: Can you write a full sentence using an adjective and a simile e.g. ‘The mango looked orange like the sunset glow. ‘, or ‘The banana felt mushy like a mud pie.’

Wednesday

1. Physical activities

We have a selection of challenges for you to try out. Get ready set go!

  • first the rocket striking and catching challenges
  • then the mini hurdle challenge
  • last the frog jump relay

2. Whole Trust Challenge

‘Big Camp’ Challenge!

This is the last whole Trust challenge before we ‘break up’ for the summer holiday so we thought we would make it super fun and go out with a bang!

Your challenge this week is to build a camp!  Your camp or den can be indoors or outdoors and made out of whatever you like.  You might choose to build a den in your bedroom from blankets, duvets and sheets or you could make one under your dining table.  You could make a den out of branches if you have a woodland nearby or you could pitch a tent in your back garden.  Apparently, a den is only a den if you can sit in it so make sure you can squeeze in.  If you haven’t got enough space to build a human-sized den, how about making a den for a teddy or doll?  You could even make a tiny den for a Lego man or small world figure.

Maybe you could have a picnic or snack in your den or play a game in there.  We would love to see all of the amazing dens you build so please send any photos to your year group home learning email address.

Have fun! ­

3. Music – to use different dynamics and add actions to our songs

Go to the website http://www.charanga.com/ and log onto the student section using the following details: Username: p697849 Password: brown
Click on the box called ‘Assignments’ then on ‘Unit: Year 1 in Review, Reflect, Rewind Replay – Step 6’ and complete the following tasks.
1. Listen to ‘The Lamb’ by John Tavener and talk about the music using the questions on screen.
2. Click on ‘warm up games’ and complete one of the challenges.
3. Go to ‘first composer’ and try making up your own melody using different pitch notes.
4. Sing the song ‘Your Imagination’. Add some actions to the song too, then try singing different parts of the song using different dynamics (loud and soft).

For a bit of extra rhythmic fun, play the game ‘Don’t Clap it Back’ with Miss Freeman.

1.Literacy warm up – key word reading and spelling

https://my.uso.im/mydrive/8a12196b0f14446d88653daeef3f38e3/year-1-key-words-and-spelling-8

Literacy-Fruit poems

Today we are going to learn to write a short poem about a fruit.

Listen to the fruit descriptions on the narrated PowerPoint presentation below. Can you guess which fruit it was? Which words helped you to guess?

Now it’s your turn to try out with your adult/sibling. Use some of the adjectives you collected yesterday to describe your fruit. Can they guess what it is? How can you improve your description so they can find out what it is?

Activity: Create a poem about an African fruit. Decide which type of poems you are going to write e.g. a shape poem or an acrostic poem.

If you choose the shape poem, you will need to arrange your words or short sentences within the outline of your fruit shape. Draw that shape or use one of the attached templates.

If you choose the acrostic poem, you will need to spell your fruit in capital letters, using one letter to start each line e.g.

M

A

N

G

O

Then you will need to think of some sentences starting with these letters and including some of the lovely language you have gathered yesterday.

Remember it is worth practising your words or sentences before writing them!

Challenge: Try out both forms of poems. Which one was easier to compose? Which one do you prefer listening to?

2. Maths – Identify the value of different notes.

3. Geography-Mapping skills

Lesson 3

We are learning to describe the features of a map and use positional and directional language.

Review last week’s learning. What do you know about compasses and compass points? Why are objects represented from a bird’s eye view on a room plan?

Introduce the word 3-D map and discuss what it might mean. Watch an explanatory clip on the bbc website.

Activity: Make a 3-D map for the journey of the animals in the Awongalema story.

Think of which main physical features will be represented on the map and what position they will be on the map. Add a couple of animals e.g. plastic toys or paper models (see attached template) to practise navigating along the journey and using directional language. Have fun!

Please download the attached presentation for a full lesson.

Literacy warm up – Spelling and grammar

Now we have learnt all of our spellings and word ending, see how many questions you can answer correctly on the sheets in the downloads. There are 4 of them so you can do as many as you want, or even save some for another time!

Literacy-A summer of discovery

The summer holidays are almost there… Today we would like to transport you into a fantasy land, where wishes might come true! Tove Jansson is a famous writer, who created the Moomin characters.

We will share one of their summer adventures set by the sea with the story ‘Moomin and the ocean’s song’. Then we will discuss what magical things we might find on the beach or in the rock pools. We will describe these wonders, using adjectives and explain why we would like to find them using the conjunction because.
