Year 1
Half-term: Spring 1
Theme: On Safari!
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!
We would also like to encourage the children to practise their Number Bonds to 10 and Red Words with an adult at home wherever possible.
Animal Activity
As we are learning about classifying animals in Science, can you create a fact file about your favourite animal? Try to include its habitat, diet and any interesting facts you may find.
Phonics practise
Please watch the RWI videos posted on seesaw each week to support your child in learning the special friends taught in school. During phonics lessons the children read and write words containing these sounds. The special friends are also attached on the next page for further consolidation/ challenge.
Children’s choice
Do something you enjoy as a family…..Go on a walk, bake a cake, play a game, listen to music, or dance are just some ideas. We would love to see/ hear about what you do.
Number Fun!
Write the numbers 1-20 in numbers and words, e.g. one, two, three etc. You can use whatever media you like, chalk, paint, pens, paper! Can you count to 20 forwards and backwards?
Music
Can you remember a song from your music lesson? Perform a song you can remember to the people at home.
All about Southport!
Can you create a poster or leaflet telling someone all about our home town of Southport?
Letter writing
This term we will be writing letters, just like in the story Meerkat Mail! Can you write a letter at home? It could be to your teacher or a family member about anything you’ve done.
Addition and subtraction
In Autumn 2 we learnt how to add and subtract on a number line, jumping forward for addition and backwards for subtraction. Ask a grown up to write you some number sentences and find the answers using the number line attached.
Winter Walk
As winter truly sets in, can you go on a walk with your family and spot signs of Winter?
