Year 1
Half-term: Summer 1
Theme: Shhh! Don’t Wake the Giant!
In Year 1, we believe that homework should consolidate the learning that has taken place in school and engage the children in sharing this new knowledge with their families. Please choose and complete at least 6 activities from the grid over the course of the half-term. Homework can be recorded in the homework book or brought into school in any other form (photos, posters etc).
We teach the children to take pride and responsibility for their own work and therefore we expect each homework task to be completed with care and to the best of their ability.
We can’t wait to see your work!
Don’t forget to read your Phonics books at home 3 times a week, as well as sharing other stories with people in your family! You could also revisit your special friends (sound mat attached). We would also like to encourage the children to practise their Number Bonds to 10 or 20 and Red Words with an adult at home wherever possible.
Plant Picture!
In Science we are learning about plants. Can you draw a plant and label the key parts?
We would love it if you could plant some seeds at home and watch them grow!
Giant description
Number Bonds to 20
Please continue to practise your number bonds to 20, including subtraction and missing number problems
e.g
20 - ___ = 13
As we are reading the story of Jack and the Beanstalk in English, can you draw a picture of the Giant and write some sentences to describe him. Try to include some amazing adjectives! Maps
In Geography, we are learning all about maps this half term! Can you create an aerial map of your bedroom? Remember to include doors, windows and fixed furniture, just like we did in school!
Instructions
In our English lessons this half term we will be writing Instructions. Can you write a set of instructions for something you can do at home? This could be making a sandwich or playing your favourite game!
Moving story books
In DT this half term, we are making a moving story book. Can you visit your local library and find a book with moving parts?
Phonics is fun!
In preparation for the Phonics screening in early June, please practise reading words containing the sounds attached overleaf.
Counting forwards and backwards
Can you count forwards and backwards to 100? This can get tricky once we get past 50!

PE
In PE, we are focussing on striking (hitting) and catching. Now the weather is getting nicer, can you go outside with a friend and practise throwing and catching a ball?
