Reading
|
This week in Year One the children are beginning to explore their new Spring Term topic ‘Twisted Tales’. The first traditional tale the children will be exploring is the ‘Three Little Pigs’. Twinkl have provided the story which is saved on your homepage. As you read this text with your child encourage your child to make predictions, as they may have heard this story before! Pause at intervals and discuss how the main characters are feeling, can your child describe these main characters? Prompt your child to discuss, is this character mean? How do you know? Can you prove your answer using the text? I.e. The Wolf is mean because he wants to eat the Little Pigs and so he is blowing down their houses.
|
|
Tasks-
Task One- your child has been provided with some role play masks to re tell the story with family. Can your child use story language appropriately? Can your child speak in full sentences? Encourage your child to use speech from the text and use expression in their voice and appropriate actions to tell the story. You may want to video your child and send it to our home learning email!
- The-Three-Little-Pigs-Role-Play-Masks.pdf
Task Two- your child has been provided with a cut and stick story map which encourages the children to re tell and organise the story in a different way. Can your child justify their decision while organizing the sections of the text? They may want to show you in the text when making their decision.
- The-three-little-pigs-cut-and-stick-story-map-activity.pdf
Task Three- your child has been provided with a Three Little Pigs ‘spot the difference challenge’. This is a key pre-reading skill which stimulates children’s ability to notice detail and develop their visual memory.

Wednesday update
DT Week
This week in school the children are enjoying DT Week! In Year One the children are building a new house for the Three Little Pigs. Design and Technology is providing children with opportunities to use and apply their creativity to design and make products while solving real and relevant problems. Making mistakes and evaluation of design is integral to the teaching and learning of Design Technology. Today your child will be creating their design and making their product. These tasks are described in detail in the weekly over view above! Please send your models to our home learning email, your teachers would love to see them! A certificate will be sent for your child’s involvement this week
See below the design page for your child to complete first-

R.E Bible Stories
|
This term Year One are continuing to explore some bible stories during story time. The story of creation is special story for Christians. While sharing this story you may want to ask your child the following questions;
· What did God make on the second day?
· Why did God create humans on the sixth day?
· God created women so Adam wouldn’t be alone. What did he name the woman?
· Why was it wrong for Eve to eat the fruit?
· Who lied to Eve about the forbidden fruit?
Discuss with your child, what is the moral of this story? What did Adam and Eve do wrong? What choices should they have made?
|
Twinkl have provided some cut out story pictures for your child to re tell the story to family members. These are saved onto your home page. Re telling stories is an essential skill in Year One and aids your child’s speech and language, social and reading development.
Story pictures for re-tell- Adam-and-Eve-Creation-Story-Cut-Outs.pdf

Thursday update
DT Evaluation
|
Now it is your child’s opportunity to evaluate their product. Evaluation of a product following a Design and Technology task is integral to the teaching and learning of the subject.
Encourage your child to take a look their room that they made from the day before. An excellent skill and one which we encourage at Ocker Hill is learning from our mistakes and being able to self-reflect on our learning and tasks. By your child understanding where they can they can improve they are becoming an independent, reflective learner. A question sheet has been provided for you to prompt discussion. These questions include;
· Did you add all the items you needed into your room? Was there anything you would like to add further next time?
· Were the materials you chose to work with suitable for the task? Such as, was cello tape as strong as glue? Did you find masking tape easier to manage and handle? What would you use differently next time?
· What do you like about your product (the room you made)?
· What do you think could improve the appearance of your room even more?
You may want to encourage your child to copy a sentence that they have said (on the template below), you may want to scribe their answers for them onto the sheet or you may want to discuss these questions orally.

Guided Reading
Saved onto your homepage are some alternative Three Little Pig stories for you and your child to enjoy. Encourage your child to explain their favourite part of the alternative tale and spot why the story was different to the traditional text! Can your child compare the characters? Is the plot different? How?
Which text did they prefer? Could your child create their own front cover for a new alternative ending? A template has been saved below on your homepage. Could something else happen to the Wolf? Could the pigs be mean instead of the Wolf? Could a new character save the day? Hope you enjoy the alternative tales, and creating a new one!

Outdoor Challenge!
|
Can your child make a wolf proof house or den outdoors? This is a new way to get involved with Design and Technology.
Place a letter, such as the one below to invite your child to make a wolf proof den outdoors using natural resources, large scale boxes or gardening materials. Let your child use their imagination! Lots of ideas are pasted into the overview above!
|
Encourage your child to problem solve such as making defenses or traps to stop the Wolf getting in! Test the stability of your den by asking family members to try and blow it down. Perhaps a family member could use the wolf mask saved onto your homepage to pay a visit to your child’s den! I’m sure it would be an exciting end to a super outdoor task!
Don't forget! Show your teachers your dens using the home learning email! Have fun!

In school this week the teachers and children are celebrating a Caribbean Christmas! Last year our school learnt all about Jamaica, and this year we are learning about Christmas in Barbados!
Your teachers have provided a lesson to teach us all about Barbados with Barnaby Bear! This is a such a fun, interactive lesson where you learn about the local food, weather, celebrations and you can even join in with some dancing! Here are some ideas of how you can celebrate-
- Taste test some Barbadian food that is explained during the lesson! Yum! The BBC good food website https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/tropical-breakfast-smoothie invites you to make a breakfast smoothie using the fruits of Barbados. There are also many other yummy recipes for your family to choose from!
- Follow this step by step tutorial on how to draw and colour the Barbadian flag!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-kayrczq9I

|
- Listen to some Barbadian instruments and join in with some dancing (links are provided in the session)

|
Santa invites you to take on Twinkl’s ‘Yoga in a Winter Wonderland’ challenge!

Well being- Mindfulness
|
Santa invites you to take care of your mental health this week. He asks, what is mindfulness?
We practice mindfulness routinely at Ocker Hill Infants. We know during our busy days at school we can always use our mindfulness toolkit to stay calm and focused.
Mindfulness means paying full attention to something. It means slowing down to really notice what you're doing. Being mindful is the opposite of rushing or multitasking. When you're mindful, you're taking your time. You're focusing in a relaxed, easy way.
Cosmic Kids have provided a wonderful short session talking about what mindfulness is (saved below).
The video also offers examples of how to practice mindfulness.
|
Santa has provided some mindfulness colouring to practice focusing on one, calm task. We do this often at school in short bursts to refresh ourselves in preparation for the next lesson.

Hope you enjoy them! - Christmas-Themed-Mindfulness-Colouring-Sheets.pdf

Week beginning 30th November 2020
Hello everyone! Mrs Dutfield here, I hope you enjoyed your Year One home learning page last week. Below this message is the overview of what you would be learning in school this week and the activities you can do at home. Below are all the resources, games and links too, mentioned in the overview. They are split up into subjects to make it easier for you to follow. This week in school your teachers and friends are getting ready for Kipper the dog's birthday party! They are writing instructions to play a party game and exploring capacity by making party punch. Have fun! Don't forget to send your work to our home learning email which is noted at the top of your page. We would love to see your work!
Phonics
|
In our phonics sessions, we personalise the learning to the specific groups and their learning needs in school. In Year One their phonic sessions are split into two groups per class. If your child is not able to identify their next sound/their group, please email the home learning account so myself and your teachers can direct you to the correct group work. The lessons revisit tricky and common exceptions words as well as introducing new sight words and a new sound. You child then progresses to reading (blending) and spelling words including their new sound, as well as reading and writing captions with their new sound.
Share the power point lessons with your child. Mrs Dutfield’s voice is added to the lessons to aid pronunciation. You may want to split this up across the week or repeat the lesson everyday so your child can read the text carefully and eventually, read with fluency. Your child then has two tasks to complete across the week-
Group 1
Phase 4 flashcard words game Cvcc-and-ccvc-words game.pptx
Phase 4 yes or no questions game Yes or no questions read and answer.pptx
Tricky words recall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMoj8GMk2TA

Guided Reading
This week Twinkl have provided an exciting Christmas story called ‘A Christmas Collar’. Guidance on how to read this with your child is detailed above in the overview.
|
Task- Twinkl have provided a Guided Reading Lesson where your child interacts with the text. Encourage your child to answer the questions posed in full sentences and encourage them to ‘prove their answer’ by finding the information in the text. Role play masks have been saved onto your homepage for your child to act out the story. Role play is an essential skill and allows a child to prove their understanding of a text by re telling the story using appropriate language. Also saved are some ‘talk cards’ which ask further questions for your child to answer. You may want to write these down and place them in a bag or hat for your child to choose from as a fun speech and language game!

In school, across every year group, we have a consistent way of writing instructions. We write instructions using the same section headers, just in a little more detail as we progress through school! These headings are; title of instructions, what we will need, how to make/play/do it (using bossy verbs to instruct) and finally, how you know it has worked. For example, finally take off the blindfold and have a look how close you were.
In the overview above there are tasks, games and lessons explained in detail. Please read this guidance. The resources for your child to use in both lessons are saved below.

In school this week the children and teachers are exploring materials through their topic of Light and Dark. They will be conducting an experiment this week, very exciting! They are exploring which materials light can travel through. As a result, they are exploring the scientific vocabulary of transparent, translucent and opaque. BBC Bitesize provides a child friendly starter video to explore these new key words https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z3mb9qt
Twinkl have provided a lesson which poses questions and challenges to your child. Collect a torch or shine a light (through a phone etc) for your child to experiment too. The lesson will pose challenges and questions for your child to investigate, Encourage your child to make predictions before they experiment to find the result. Making predications is a key part of drawing scientific language from your child. Model the language to your child if they are not yet secure, i.e. ‘I think you will see light through this’. You may reply, ‘Explain a bit further to me. Do you mean the material is transparent, translucent or opaque? What does that word (they selected) mean?’.
Your teachers invite you to join in with the experiment at home! Twinkl have provided an experiment task for your child to enjoy. Your child collects the sorting items and tests the materials translucency to sort them into ‘opaque’ or ‘translucent’ categories. Remember to ask your child to make a predictions and justify their opinion before experimenting.

Today your child will be writing some sentences to tell the story of Kipper’s Birthday Party. In school, the children will be using their Boxing Clever frame to re tell the story, which uses the same sections on our boxing clever boards in our classrooms. The sections include; who, where, next, why, what goes wrong, who helps, where last, feelings (of the characters at the end of the story). To help you re tell the story, a boxing clever frame has been completed for your child to follow. Your child also has a word mat to use to aid spelling.
Your child will use the boxing clever to write the story, so for example their first sentence may use the ‘who’ and ‘where’ boxes. Your child may write “One day, Kipper the dog was in his house. It was his birthday the next day so he was making party invitations”.Encourage your child to orally say their sentence out loud before writing. This will help your child to assess if the sentence makes sense, with your help. While writing your child can use the word bank or book to aid spelling of keywords, but most of their sentence they can use their understanding of phonics to help them. A phonic sound mat has been attached to your home page to aid their understanding.
**This task should be shared across two working days. This helps your child’s concentration and the advised time for your child to be completing a task is 15 minute bursts.
|
If you feel this task is too tricky for your child, encourage your child to act out the story using the boxing clever story map. Can they recall story language and re tell the story using full sentences? Your child also has a Guided Task to complete which is saved on your homepage.

This week in school something exciting is happening in Year One! The Year One ‘Let’s Party’ topic is being launched and the children are sharing their topic story ‘Kipper’s Birthday Party’. This is a funny story where Kipper the dog gets very confused when planning his birthday party! Share the story with your child and pause at different intervals. Encourage your child to predict what might happen next. Ask your child the following questions as you read:
· What time was Kipper’s birthday party beginning?
· Why did Kipper need to deliver his invitations on the same day? What do you think might happen as a result?
· How do you think Kipper felt when his friends didn’t arrive at his birthday party?
· Describe Kipper’s dream, what happened? Have you ever had a funny dream?
· Why did Kipper feel happy at the end of the story?
Today your child will be creating a story map of the Kipper’s Birthday Party story. In school, we call this Boxing Clever. The children re tell the story using the same sections on our boxing clever boards in our classrooms. Guidance on how to complete this task is in the overview, in detail above. Enjoy!

English 2- Missing Words
|
In Year One this week the children are learning about the story Kipper’s Birthday party. Re read the text with your child, can they recall the answers to the question prompts from the previous day? In this session your child will be completing missing words.
|
In this session your child will be completing a missing words activity. Use the text to help you if your child needs a little more support. A word bank is added to the activity sheet which gives your child the spelling and answers to choose from. Encourage your child to read the sentence and answer independently. Your child should be using the word bank to support their spelling. This is a really important skill in KS1 writing.
|
If the missing words task seems a little tricky for your child, there is a GUIDED missing words task to complete with an adult in your household. Encourage correct formation of letters and allow children to segment the words with as much independence as possible. For example, asks prompting questions such as, what sounds are in hat? H-a-t.

History- Remembrance Day
In school this week we are learning about Remembrance Day. This day has been marked since the end of World War One to remember those who gave their lives for us. BBC offers a touching video which explains this important day at a child friendly level, saved below.
|
Please share this video with your child and discuss why this date is so vitally important. In school the children will be marking the event with a two minute silence, perhaps this can be marked in your home too.
Twinkl have prepared an information lesson all about Remembrance Day. Share this information with your child ask these questions to measure their understanding-
· Who do we think about on Remembrance Day? Why?
· Why do people wear poppies?
· How long do we stay silent for on Remembrance Day?
|
Saved below is a simple sentence building activity for you to enjoy with your child. This can measure their understanding of what they have learnt. The children can use the word bank to create a write a simple sentences, such as ‘The soldier has a medal on’. This can prompt further discussion about Remembrance Day facts. Also saved are some simple poppy crafts for your child to make at home. Your child can then wear this or display this in your home on Remembrance Day.

Science- Sources of Light

In Year One this week the children are learning about Light Sources. What is a Light Source? How do we see? What part of the body helps us to see? Please share Mrs Dutfield’s lesson on light sources where you can hear my voice over for the lesson. Many learning clips are included in the lesson to aid your child’s understanding, saved below.
|
The task in Science this week is sorting light sources and non-light sources. As your child is sorting ask them to explain their understanding. Does this object only reflect light? Such as the moon or a disco ball? Remember to refer back to the lesson if needed. If the sound option does not work on your link, please research the light sources with your child to find out more.
|
You child can either sort light sources using an activity sheet or use the game saved onto your homepage. If printing isn’t available in your home, ask your child to draw the light sources that they know.
