Year 1 home learning W/C 8th June 2020

English This week we are following the Oak academy unit of work on Information texts titled

‘Terrifying T-Rex’.

There are 5 exciting lessons to support English learning this week. Please could all

children complete lessons 1-3 (see pictures below) at home. Lessons 4 and 5 provide

opportunity for writing their own dinosaur fact file. As some children continue to

receive some school based learning, and others are at home all week, these last two

lessons are optional according to circumstance.

Please follow these daily lessons lead by teacher Miss Browne which include phonics –

Topic Over the next few weeks in school we

will be looking at the contrasting

location of Africa. If your child is not

in school this week they might like to

watch the Oak Academy video about

Africa which can be found in Year 1

Foundation subjects – Humanities –

lesson 4. https://www.thenational.academy/year-1/foundation/what-is-africa-like-year-1-wk2-4#slide-3

There are activities on continents and Africa to

complete in this unit.

Adventure on CBeebies which has programmes

about meercats, chimps, lions and giraffes.

How many African countries can you remember?

Can you find and colour Africa on the world map?

Art The story Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne, set in an African Village is based around

village girl’s journey to her friends’ village, carrying 7 fruits in her basket. At school we

will be drawing the fruits that went into Handa’s basket and thinking about which types

of fruit are grown in Africa and the UK. At home the children might like to draw the

fruits you have in your own fruit baskets and see if you can find out which country they

came from and where that place is on Google Earth. https://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/earth/

at the end of the numbers.
