Week 4 Home Learning- Year 1

Week 4 Home Learning- Year One

Quote of the week

Good morning everyone,

It was so nice speaking to you all last week. We absolutely loved talking to the children and hearing what they have been up to. We want the children to know that we are always here for them. We will check in on everyone again soon, but in the meantime, if your child would like to speak to us, just send and email and we will give them a call.



In Key Stage One, we are introducing Google Classroom. This is something which the children in KS2 use, but it will be brand new for our children. The work which is set using Google Classroom will be the same as what is released on the blog. What Google Classroom offers (which the blog does not), is a space where children can comment and ask questions, allowing them to interact with the teachers and each other. They can also post work that they have done, for others to see.
For the majority of the children, this will require adult support, as they may find typing their comments a challenge (this is not a skill taught in year one). However, the more they use it, the more independent they will become.
The children will need to access Google Classroom using an individual login. In order to get their log in details, please email us at year12@broadford.havering.sch.uk with 'Google Classroom' in the subject heading. We will then reply with your child's log in details.




As always, below is week 4's timetable. Remember, you can chose to follow it or dip in and out as it suits you. Each day there will be a maths, literacy, PE, topic and wellness session.

Please click on: Week 4 Home Learning Timetable


This week is based on The Tree Little Pigs...however, there is a twist! This story is told from the point of view of the wolf and her has a very different version of events!





Here is Miss Davis reading The True Story of the Three Little Pigs








If you find the literacy which is planned on the timetable too challenging, please use the literacy plan below:
Daily Sentences- Week 4

Please use the sound mat below to support your child with sounding out and spellings:
Sound Mat

We have already blogged and sent home 200 common exception words that we would like the children to focus on.
Every week, we will be releasing 6 of these words for you to focus on. Every Friday, we will release the spelling test via video. The words for this week are as follows;

• cold
• many
• pretty
• ask
• love
• so

Please continue to practise the 2, 5 and 10 times tables daily. There are videos on Youtube that your child can join in with. 

Another very important skill we would like them to continue to practise is their number bond to 10, moving on to their number bonds to 20.

There are lots of songs the children can join in with on Youtube, just google 'number bonds to 10'. Here is another example: Making 10
There are also lots of practical activities you can create yourself using minimal resources:

Make a number bond ladybird which totals 10.

e.g. 3+7=10 and 7+3=10

Make your own number bond friend. You will need a lolly pop stick, beads and a pipe cleaner. If you don't have these items, we would love to see how resourceful you are... what else could you use?



The children will be familiar with 10 frames. Can they create a 10 frames to represent all number bonds to 10? Remember to set it out in 2 rows of 5, see below.

We cannot stress enough how important reading with your child each day is. We understand that with home learning, trying to fit everything in will be a challenging task in itself. Please can we ask that, if possible, you prioritise reading every day, even if its just for 10 minutes.


Oxford Owl reading website are offering free access to their books online. The children will be familiar with these books as it is already part of our readings scheme. The colours match to their current reading colours. To gain access to these great resources, sign up for FREE at https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/

Children can read the stories more than once. The first time they read they will be focusing on decoding, which means sounding out their words and this may take them a while. The second time they read start to encourage the children to sound out the words in their head (some children might need to whisper the sounds). The aim is to increase the speed and fluency so the children can focus on understanding what they are reading. Finally they can focus on using expression when reading the story and answering questions about what is happening.

Children learning to blend and read simple words such as 'cat' or 'went' will be learning Set 1 sounds and reading Ditty or red books.
Children learning Set 2 sounds will start to read Green, Purple and Pink.
Children learning Set 3 sounds will start to read Yellow, Blue then Grey.

If you are unsure of your child's book colour send an email to the shared mailbox and your child's teacher can advise you further. Happy reading!
