Home Learning
Friday 10th June 2022
This week’s home learning challenges are to continue to read your reading books, as well as practising your class spellings.
Next Friday 17th June 2022, we will be launching our exciting Learning Means the World home learning challenge.
Spring 2022 Home Learning Update
For the next two half terms, we will be trialling the use of the CS Kids grammar tailored programme in place of the current home learning approach, as part of our blended learning strategy. Our aim is for home learning to be impactful on the children, therefore we ask that all children participate.
Every Friday, by 5pm, the next week’s learning should automatically appear on your child’s account. Pupil logins are stored in your child’s planner.
To access their account, please visit: https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/
Date set: Friday 11th February
Date due: Friday 18th February

Consolidation | Log into your Classroom Secrets account; I have set some tasks on there for you to practice your counting skills up to 50.
Have a practice first and see how far you can count: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPdDbzwi5iQ
Don’t forget about playing Numbots; it doesn’t always have to be in one go, it can be spread across the week. Remember, little and often if you can!
| 15 minutes | This will support our current learning on numbers up to 50!
Numbots will help your child develop fluency with counting, number bonds, addition and subtraction, and more. |
Consolidation | Super Sentence:
We have been starting to think about past, present and future tense. When you write, you can use words that show if the events have already happened, are happening now or will be in the future. Have a little watch of this video to remind us what they are: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/z3dbg82
Could you write your super sentence about something you have already done this weekend in the past? To be super, it has to start with a capital letter, include finger spaces, and end with a full stop. Remember to say your whole sentence several times before you try to write it and use your phonics to help you spell the words. | 15 mins | Being able to orally rehearse and write our own sentences is a key building block of Year 1 writing. |
Consolidation | In Science we have been thinking about what different animals eat. We have talked about different animals and whether they are an omnivore, carnivore or herbivore.
Can you have a go at this quiz to consolidate your learning. Some children may need some help to read the questions. https://www.educationquizzes.com/ks1/science/animals-carnivores-herbivores-and-omnivores/
Do you or anyone in your family have any pets? Can you work out whether they are an omnivore, herbivore or carnivore?

Welcome to the zoo - let’s practise counting all the way to 120! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzzQ8x-9HTo&list=RDJxOMEUYKzvs

Consolidation | In Geography we have been thinking about what human and physical features are. Can you go out for a walk and see if you can spot any human or physical features?
Maybe you could draw a picture with the human and physical features you have spotted? Can you label them?

Preparation | This week, in aid of the NSPCC, Battle of the Bands is taking place on TTRS (TT Rockstars!) and all classes in school are being encouraged to take part. The children have been invited to take part by logging onto their account through this link: https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/7563 TT Rockstars is an online platform that supports children in their learning of times tables and I’m sure any parents that have older children will be aware of it. It is run by the same company as Numbots which I know many of the children are enjoying. They can therefore use the same login details for both. Even though we haven’t covered timetables within our class learning yet, I know lots of the children are already fluent in counting in 10’s and some even in 2’s and 5’s. I have therefore set 10’s for all of the children to have a go at, with an additional challenge of 2’s and 5’s for some. Please support your child with this school initiative as they may need additional support.
| 20 minutes | TT Rockstars will help your child develop fluency in multiplication. |
Consolidation | Super Sentence: This week in Geography we have been thinking about whether we would prefer to live in Barwick-in-Elmet or whether we would prefer to live in Antarctica. I would love for you to write your super sentence this week about which place you would prefer to live in; can you tell me why you would prefer it?
To be super, it has to start with a capital letter, include finger spaces, and end with a full stop. Remember to say your whole question several times before you try to write it and use your phonics to help you spell the words.
Challenge! As an extra challenge can you find out which place someone special to you would prefer? Id love it if you could write some extras sentences telling me why.
| 15 mins | Being able to orally rehearse and write our own sentences is a key building block of Year 1 writing. |
Consolidation | Carefully colour in the world map attached below. Once coloured, get a grown up to help you cut along the lines. Can you then put it back together like a jigsaw?

To be super, it has to start with a capital letter, include finger spaces, and end with a question mark. Remember to say your whole question several times before you try to write it.
Imagine your favourite teddy bear or toy has come to life! What question might you ask?
Challenge!: As an extra challenge, see if you can write more than one question. | 10 mins | Being able to orally rehearse and write our own sentences/questions is a key building block of Year 1 writing. |
Preparation | In science next week we are going to be thinking more about what types of food different animals eat. Last term we talked about carnivores, omnivores and herbivores – can we remember what each word means?
See if you can watch this video as a reminder: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z6882hv/articles/z96vb9q
