English -Retelling a story

QFL: How can I re-tell a story?

Learning Objectives

I can recall the events that have happened in a story

I can pick out the important parts of the story

I can re-tell the story in my own words.

Activity

Monday

You are going to listen to this story called ‘Katie and the

Sunflowers’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLx3O02aqyI Once you have finished watching the story, you will need to recall

what happened in the story, if you want you can recall the events

to an adult or you can write down some sentences as to what

happened in the story. Writing small sentences on what happened

might help you with the other tasks,

Tuesday

On page 12, there is a storyboard. You are going to draw the

important parts of what happened in the story. You have 9

squares to fill in. If you feel that you do not need all the 9

squares then you do not need to use them all. Once you have

drawn the pictures, write a sentence about what is going on in the

picture.

Wednesday

Get an adult to draw a huge S in the middle of your book. You are

going to plan your story to write for tomorrow. An example of

this is shown on page 13. We have completed story S’s before.

Remember the order we plan in, first we start at the top and

draw the events of the story as we work our way down. Once you

have finished drawing your events, add in adjectives you can use

in your writing, this will help you when you start writing the story.

Thursday & Friday

You are going to re-tell the story of ‘Katie and the Sunflowers’ in

your own words! Remember to use adjectives, time connectives

and punctuation for a good piece of writing. Focus on the

important parts of the story and use your story S to help you.

English Note to Parents

Your child has been given Thursday and Friday to write the story, if they need more time to do this please allow

them to do so. They do not need to write pages of a story, it is about focusing on the main events of the story and

sequencing it correctly. If you have any questions about the tasks for English, please do not hesitate to contact Miss

Chadli on the year 1 e-mail.

Maths – Position and direction

QFL: How can I describe turns and positions?

Success criteria:

I can use the language ‘full’, ‘half’, ‘quarter’ and ‘three quarter’ to

describe turns made by shapes/objects.

I can use ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ to describe

position and direction

I can describe position using: ‘top’, ‘in between’, ‘bottom’, ‘above’

and ‘below’

This is the first time the children have learned about this in Year 1

1. Monday: Moving objects by a full, half, quarter and three

quarter turn right or left.

Use these diagrams to explain this concept to the children;

This is our shape

We are going to turn it right (or clockwise) by ;

a quarter turn it would look like this

a half turn it would look like this;

a full turn it would look like this;

It is important to make sure the children understand that the shape

is not changing it is just turning.

Activity

Mirror the explanation to the left using any household object to

show the child what a quarter, half, three quarter and full turn

looks like.

Once the child has begun to understand this ask them to have a

go by themselves.Make sure to include turning right or left

(clockwise or anti-clockwise).

Ask the child these questions to complete with their object;

Can you turn your object a quarter turn? Can you turn your

object a half turn? Can you turn your object a three quarter

turn? Can you turn your object a full turn?

Challenge:

2. Tuesday

Recap from the previous task on how to move an object a quarter,

half, three quarter and full turn clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Questions to discuss with your child:

What is each turn called? Is there only one direction

shapes/objects can move in?

Does it make a difference which way the shape / object / person is

turned?

What part of a whole has the shape/object turned? What will the

shape/object look like before or after the turn?

Challenge:

Activity – if the child is finding these activities challenging

please mirror the activity with a physical object and use the

turtle posters in the maths appendix to help.

3. Wednesday – using ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ to

describe position.

Firstly, ensure your child has an understanding of left and right, use

this diagram to help remind them if they are unsure;

Activity

4

Review forwards and backwards, for example, start taking steps

forwards and then backwards whilst asking the child which direction you

are moving in. (repeat until they are confident)

Questions to discuss:

What are the different directions we can move in?

How would I get to the ………?

How could you describe the movement? How could we record the

movement?

How would I get from the ……. to the ………?

Challenge:

Extension:

Game to play together:

One person must be directed whilst blindfolded to find the position of

another person or object in a room using only their directions.

For example,

(Assuming we are the house) You need to turn to your left and take one

step forward.

5

4. Thursday

Children will build upon directional language ‘left’ and ‘right’ to assist

with describing position. They will describe position using: ‘top’, ‘in

between’, ‘bottom’, ‘above’ and ‘below’. Children explore the position

of objects and shapes from different starting points.

What can you see around you? Create this table in your home

learning book with an adult.

Are there any terms the children are unsure of? Refer to the

previous session to recap using the extension activity if they are

finding this activity challenging.

Questions to discuss:

Where is the _____ in relation to you?

What is _______ of you?

What is _______ of this object?

How can we describe the position of _____?

Can you create your own instructions to build a tower?

Challenge:

Activity

This activity can be completed with any object you have available at home.

6

This is a 2p coin How do we know this is a 2p coin?

5. Friday- ‘Directions to the city challenge’

You will need to help navigate around the map to answer the questions. For a larger

version of the map please see the Maths Appendix. There are questions to answer

below the map in the maths appendix.

Extension:

Create a treasure map of where treasure has been buried. Once you have done this write directions to find the buried treasure on

your map.

Maths Note to Parents

There is a lot of content in this week’s home learning pack, the majority will be new information to the children. Please take your time and wherever possible demonstrate concepts using physical objects to help the children’s understanding. If you need any support or additional resources, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Croft via year1@marlborough.harrow.sch.uk

Science- Deciduous and Evergreen trees

7

QFL: What is the difference between a deciduous tree and an evergreen

tree?

Success Criteria:

-I can describe a deciduous tree

-I can describe an evergreen tree

-I know the basic structure of a tree

Activity

After watching the Parts of a tree song,

label the parts of a tree picture (in the

science appendix). Then complete the

‘trees through the seasons’ worksheet (in

the science appendix).

Science Note to Parents

Please use the following information to help your child with this new topic:

Explain that some trees stay green all the way through the year and therefore they are called evergreen. Types of

evergreen trees include pine and cedar trees.

Explain that while the biggest change for deciduous trees is losing their leaves, they actually change all the way

through the year; they grow flowers which can turn into fruit during the summer, and their leaves go brown in

autumn before they fall off. After winter, buds grow, and leaves grow from these buds and the cycle repeats.

The following videos can also be used to support your child’s learning:

Art – Exploring tone

QFL: How can I use tone using colouring pencils or pastels?

Success Criteria

I can draw a picture using curves and lines

I can explore tone using different pencils or pastels

I can draw and colour using the correct grip.

Activity

Last week we focused on a picture painted by

Van Gogh, this week we are going to draw the

whole picture!

You will need to draw the outline of the

picture, then you will colour it in with different

colouring pencils.

Try to use the techniques you have been

working on (using different tones, focus on the

detail of parts in the painting).

To use different tones when using colour

pencils, remember to press quite hard if you

want the colour to be bold and colour in lightly

if you want the colour to come out lighter.

Art Note to Parents

Please allow your child to do this as independently as possible as this task will show how much they have learnt from

this topic. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Miss Chadli on the year 1 e-mail.

on the worksheet for you. However, all of the

questions and answers are mixed up, it is your

job to cut out the questions and answers in

their mixed up order and stick them in the

correct order in your home learning book.

Challenge: There are two questions that do not

have answers to them, your challenge is to

research the answer to these questions.

PSHCE Note to Parents

Discuss with your child about the qualities you could find in a person, ask them what are their qualities? Try and get them to

say positive things about themselves so they recognise these qualities. If they are struggling, try and use a person as an

example that they know very well and name their qualities.

VIPERS – Predicting

QFL: How can I predict what will happen in a story?

VIPERS Focus: Predict

Success Criteria:

I understand what predict means

I understand what is happening in the story

I can make a sensible prediction about what might happen next

Activity

First read the beginning of the short story called

‘The camping trip’ in the Vipers Appendix.

We have lost the end of the story! We need your

help to use your prediction skills to tell us what

you think is going to happen next.

In your home learning books, write a prediction

about what you think will happen next in the

story. You also need to write why you think this is

what is going to happen. Remember a prediction is

a sensible guess so we need to have a reason to

make a prediction.

Things to think about o help with your prediction:

What do you think the woods will be like? Do you

think it will be easy to catch the top of the tent

with the windy weather? How would you find the

top of a tent in a woods? How do you think the

characters might be feeling?

Extension: Write your own end to the story.

VIPERS Note to Parents If you need any support or additional resources, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Croft via year1@marlborough.harrow.sch.uk

space bar.

- I can change the font of a text.

Activity

Choose a piece of work you have

completed from this term so far and type

it. Explore different fonts, colours and

size of words. You can underline the title

and use italics to highlight the key words

in your writing.

Computing Note to Parents

Demonstrate how to change the font of a text on Microsoft word before your child completes this task. Please email

Miss Lewis on the year one email if you need any help with this activity.

Weekly phonics

10

Create your own phonics bingo!

To make this you will need to get a piece of paper

as a bingo card, split it into six (or more if

preferred) sections, as can be seen in the picture.

In these sections write some tricky words that

your child struggles with, or pick from some of the

examples below, repeat this with other boards with

a few extra tricky words. Once you have done this

you need someone to call the tricky words and as

you hear the word, if you have it on your bingo

card you can cross it off, once you have all six you can shout bingo as you have won!

Alternate suggestion: Instead of having a bingo caller, you can get a piece of paper, split it

into six and ask the child to draw a picture (or print one off if you prefer) of each of the

words on your bingo card. Once you have done this for all of the bingo cards you can select six

pictures, if you can match the six pictures to the six words on your bingo card you can shout

bingo! If not keep picking up one card until you have filled your bingo card completely!

Possible words to use (optional)

Phonics notes to parents: If you need any support or additional resources, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Croft via year1@marlborough.harrow.sch.uk

Extension: Please practise these tricky words frequently with your child.
