Hoylandswaine Primary School

Class 1

 What an unusual time we are living in! But we will get through this together. Below you find a summary of some of the learning that your child has undertaken so far this year. I have also signposted to resources (in the Links document) that will hopefully support you with helping your child to learn at home.

In maths in Reception this year we have covered:

Numbers to 10, extending to 20.  We have looked at counting, ordering and match objects with the corresponding numeral.  We have found 1 more and 1 less than a given number to 20.  In practical activities we have added and subtracted groups of objects within 10 and worked towards recording our thinking using numbers and symbols (+, -, =).

We have looked at 2D and 3D shapes.  We have sorted them, found them in the world around us, made pictures with them and made repeating patterns.  We have also looked at height and length.  We have compared height and length of up to 5 objects and used non-standard units of measure (cubes, paper clips, hands, string). 

We use the Whiterose Maths to support planning in school and ideas for supporting learning at home can be found on their website https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/.

In maths in Year 1 this year we have covered:

Numbers to 30, extending to 50.  We have looked at counting, ordering and match objects with the corresponding numeral, and also writing the number in words. We have found 1 more and 1 less than a given number to 50.  We have solved addition and subtraction number sentences to 20 and used our knowledge of number bonds to 10 and 20 to support our working out.  We have recently began to think about counting in 2’s and 5’s and doubling and halving numbers to 20. 

We have used the mathematical names to describe and discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes and created models, pictures and repeating patterns with them.  We have used rulers and weighing scales to measure.

In literacy we have read text like We are Going on a Bear Hunt, The Tiger Who Came for Tea, Supertato, The Princess and the Pea and also looked at the features of different non-fiction text linking to our topics. 

We have looked at a range of writing genres this year; traditional stories and tales, recounts, instructions, description, poetry, letters.  You may want to use this opportunity to work with your child on a daily diary entry, retelling a familiar story or a letter to grandparents.

The children take part in daily Read Write Inc Sessions.  We will use the VLE to ensure children have access to resources that will support them to consolidate the learning that has taken place so far and also continue to work through this phonic programme.

On the class web page there are a range of documents to download to support with your child’s learning at home. You can find this terms spellings, a list of the Y1 common exception words so these are great to continue revising and practising. You will also find the Topic homework sheets (Victorians) and additional guidance (such as calculation videos and RWI spelling videos).

Additionally, the VLE section on the website (which you should have received a username and password for via email) has further maths, literacy and science activities which you can use to support your child’s learning during their time at home. These will include power points (explaining the learning focus), activity sheets, short tasks and quizzes. These are organised into different sections and new activities will be uploaded each week.  I hope that you will find these resources useful and wish you all the best in this difficult time.  We can do this!
