Basic Skills- Year 1 Year 1 have created a separate learning pack for BASIC SKILLS. The BASIC SKILLS home learning pack is aimed to help those children who need might need an extra boost or reminder of basic skills in writing and maths and will have a set focus each week. If your child is struggling to remember to use the basic skills of writing, such as capital letters, full stops etc then please complete the BASIC SKILLS pack. It is not expected to be done as well as this KS1 home-learning pack - unless of course your child would like more work to do! Please take note that we still expect children to read every day and complete a maths activity every day.

KS1 Home Learning 18th May 2020

Please note that these activities are for you to choose from, you are not required to complete every activity in the pack. You may wish to adapt an activity or

start part of it one day and finish it another day. We do ask that children read once a day, every day and complete at least one maths game or task daily to keep

their skills going.

Maths Reading Spellings / Phonics

This week’s maths theme will be on statistics. Year 1 will instead be focusing on doubles. Year 2 will be collecting data and putting it into a tally chart and a pictogram. We will set new activities each week on My Maths so remember to log in and complete this work. Also, see the information on the page below. Keep your maths skills fresh by completing at least one of the following each day:

● Work on Numbots - how many levels can you complete?

● Play on Hit the Button - focus on number bonds, halves, doubles and times tables. You could also try some of these other activities - The Gingerbread Man, Place Value Basketball, Mental Maths Game, Placing a number on a number line, Number fact families, Minus Mission

● Daily arithmetic for different areas of maths - aim to work on level 2 activities. You can set the speed to suit your ability. Don’t make it too easy or too hard, but do challenge yourself.

● Practise telling the time. Read to the hour, half hour, quarter past, quarter to. Can you learn to tell the time to the nearest five minutes?

● Listen to and sing along to Jack Hartmann maths songs- Kids YouTube –

- Count by 2’s to 100: https://safeYouTube.net/w/rPS6

- Numbers in the teens (place value): https://safeYouTube.net/w/BRS6

- One less number game: - https://safeYouTube.net/w/7TS6

● Can you read poems about animals? Animal poems Which poem was your favourite? Why? Can you spot and write down pairs of rhyming words you find in any of the poems?

● Listen to the stories: https://www.storylineonline.net/books/clark-the-shark/ https://www.storylineonline.net/books/library-lion/

● Can you find adjectives in the books used to describe the animal?

● Choose your favourite animal story from home and read it with someone special. How many different animal characters were in the story?

● Read common exception words and time how long it takes for you to read them all. Can you beat your score by the end of the week?

● Complete the ‘How kangaroos got their tails’ comprehension questions below. You might be able to read it yourself and complete the questions on your own or you might need some help from another member of your family.

• Practise reading and spelling the Year 1/2 Common Exception Words. They are also on pages 137 and 138 in your Home-School Diary.

• Practise your phonics every day. This week,

particularly focus on the ‘oo’ sound e.g. ,zoo room, food, moon, spoon, etc.

Animals

The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about different animals. There are Zoos within the UK that have set up webcams into some animal enclosures so that you can see the animals from your homes. If you’d like to see Pandas, Penguins, Tigers, Koalas and Lions you can visit

the Edinburgh Zoo Website and search webcams. Hopefully when you look the animals will not be hiding. https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/ Underwater Art Can you create an underwater picture? You could do this by creating a collage or maybe you could have a go at using printing to create sea textures. Why not use a colour wash or try adding salt to wet paper and see what effect it makes!

In the Woods! What animals live in a woodland habitat? What is a woodland habitat like? Use the links below to find out more about woodland habitats. BBC Bitesize Woodland Trust Wildlife Watch You might live close enough to go for a walk through some woods, what animals can you see? Have a go at drawing a picture of a woodland habitat, including some of the animals that live there.

Nocturnal Animals What do you think nocturnal animals are? Have you ever seen any of these animals? Watch this clip and discuss the animals that you see. Use this interactive text about nocturnal animals to find out more about them.

Animal Fact Bookmark Choose your favourite animal and find out at least 5 interesting facts about it. You can use some of the links below if you need help finding facts! Ask an adult to help you with the reading if you need to. Dogs, Tigers, Sharks, Owls. Now use your facts to create your own animal fact bookmark. Here are some ideas to get you going!

Music: Carnival of the Animals Listen to each of the 14 movements from ‘The Carnival of the Animals by the classical composer Saint-Saens.

• First listen to each movement with your eyes closed.

• Can you recognise which movements are about the

following animals?

Lion Kangaroo Elephant Donkey Aquarium Were you correct? Listen again.

• What instruments or musical elements

(fast/slow/high/low/short/long sounds) helps the

listener to picture those animals?

Here are some other great animal songs you could learn this

week:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yrikH2QEFA

https://www.singup.org/singupathome/songs-for-

learning/4-7 - Hey Little Frog

Physical Complete a daily online workout (Joe Wicks, Cosmic Kids Yoga, PE Hub Parent Portal, parkrun online, Go Noodle, Good Energy at Home, BBC SuperMovers). Try moving like different animals. You could gallop like a horse, leap like a frog, hop or skip like a rabbit or tiptoe like a mouse. Try moving at different speeds. Are different types of movements better for moving at different speeds?

Animal Groups (Sorting pictures here) Using this song, can you discuss which animals could be: birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals or fish? Can you use your collection of pictures to find an animal that could go in each of these groups?

Fingerprint Animals How many different animals can you create using your fingerprints? Have a look at the ideas below and then have a go!

Have fun! You could set up a fun obstacle course in the garden or you could make up your own game using items from around the house. Why not set up an exciting treasure hunt and write clues or draw a map to help someone in your family find the treasure!

KS1 Home Learning 18th May 2020

Challenge: Could you find more about each animal group? What makes an animal a mammal or a reptile? What about the other animal groups?

English – writing NOTE TO PARENTS: The Year 1 and 2 Home Learning (below) is in line with the National Curriculum for KS1. However, if you find that your child

is finding this challenging, the EYFS Home Learning activities may be more appropriate as a starting point, before moving onto the activities

below.

Monday: Riddles are types of poems like puzzles, they describe something and you have to guess what it is. Clues at the beginning of the poem should be harder to guess and clues nearer the end of the poem should be easier to figure out. Read these riddles, can you work out what animal each poem is about?

Tuesday: Now it is time to plan an animal riddle of your own!

Choose an animal that you would like to write a riddle about.

KS1 Home Learning 18th May 2020

What would you like to find out about your animal?

Can write questions about your animal? Don’t forget that when we write a question, we must write use a question mark at the end of the sentence.

e.g. What do snakes eat?

Are there different types of snakes?

Wednesday: Today’s task is to research enough facts about this animal to answer the questions you write yesterday. These facts could be as simple as ‘Dogs have four legs’ or more detailed.

Ask someone at home to help you read and record facts if you need to.

If you need help choosing an animal to find out about then you can use one of the links below:

Snakes, spiders, crabs, or cats.

Thursday: (THIS IS MORE CHALLENGING SO IS AIMED AT CHILDREN WHO ARE MORE CONFIDENT WITH WRITING- see below for alternative tasks):

Clues for a riddle are written in ‘first person’, this means that we write as if we are the animal in the riddle and use ‘I’ or ‘my’ when we write our clues. Look back at the riddles you read on Monday, can you see where the poet has used ‘I’ or ‘my’?

Before we write own animal riddle, lets practise using ‘I’ or ‘my’ when we write clues.

Can you help to re-write these facts into clues for a riddle? (Look at the second grid for simpler clues if you need to.)

Fact Clue written using ‘I’ or ‘my’ (first person).

Cats are meat-eating mammals.

Most cats hunt alone at night.

Cats have sharp teeth and extended claws to help grip their prey. My teeth are sharp and I have extended claws to help me grip my prey.

Question words to help me start my question sentences:

Where What Do Are Can How When

KS1 Home Learning 18th May 2020

Cats have excellent eyesight.

Cats feet have thick, soft pads so they can creep up on their prey.

Facts Clue written using ‘I’ or ‘my’ (first person).

Cats have long tails. I have a long tail.

Cats have four legs.

Cats have sharp claws.

Cats hunt at night.

Cats eat meat.

Thursday/ Friday: Now it is time to write your own riddle! (Start this task on Thursday if you are not completing the task above.)

Look back at the facts that you collected on Wednesday. What did you find out? Share some facts with someone at home to remind yourself!

Using the sentence starters below, complete the sentences using some of your facts to create your own riddle:

Don’t forget to use full stops and capital letters correctly.

KS1 Home Learning 18th May 2020

I am…

I have…

I can…

I eat…

I often…

CHALLENGE: Write your own clues using more detailed facts.

Remembering to use ‘I’ and ‘my’ (first person), have a go at writing 5 or 6 clues in your own way.

Don’t forget that your first few clues should be harder to guess and the clues at the end should be easier to work out!

I am covered in fur.

I have four legs and a long tail.

I can use my sharp claws to catch food.

I eat meat.

I often hunt at night.

What am I?

Year 1- Doubles

This week, Year One are learning about doubles. Have a look at this video to understand what doubles are: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ Select Summer term- Week 1- Lesson 1 When you double, you are adding the same number. For example, if you have the number 4, you add 4. Double 4 is 8. Can you use dice to find doubles? You can use dice online, too! Just click on the dice and it will show a new number each time.

You can use dominoes to find doubles!

Use a sorting hoop to show doubles. Pick a number up to 10 and show that number in one hoop. In the next hoop, show double the number.

Use a sorting hoop to show doubles. Pick a number up to 10 and show that number in one hoop. In the next hoop, show double the number.

After using items, you can draw doubles in your book. Pick a number up to 10 and draw it in your book, then double it (add the same number). How many do you have now? Your work might look like this:

Challenges:

Double 6 is __.

Double 3 is __.

We start with 3 apples. Next, we add the same number of apples.

How many apples do we have altogether?

Double 3 is 6.

3+3=6

Double 5 is 10.

5+5=10

Nrich doubling challenges: These challenges develop mathematical

thinking and problem-solving skills. You

can select “getting started” to guide your

approach, and “solution” to check for the

answer.

Year 2- Statistics

This is a tally chart. It is used to collect data. This tally chart shows how many vehicles were on a road. Tally charts are a quicker way to collect

information. When recording the data in a tally chart, we draw a line. When we get to 5 we cross through 4 lines.

How many vehicles are there?

Make a tally chart and collect data from your family members. Put in 5 different

things and ask your family to choose 1. See which one has the most votes. You could

make a tally chart on favourite fruit or favourite colour or create your own one.

When you have completed your tally chart, you can turn the data into a pictogram. A

pictogram has a key to show how many votes are represented by the picture. In this

pictogram each fruit shows 1 person.
