Learning from Home: Pack for Week Beginning 8th June
Keep doing Homework Books, Education City and TT Rockstars
Writing: Finish the new Pie Corbett English Booklet. The booklet is two weeks’ worth of work, so it would be great if you could complete the whole thing by Friday 12th June. Year 1 and Year 2 have different books to download - see ‘Learning Links and Downloads’ below. No printer? Answers on paper are just as good.
Phonics: Revise the /ure/ and /ear/ trigraphs
Reading: Read daily for pleasure and try to answer some questions from the KS1 reading mat
Spellings:
Year 1s: The sound /ch/ spelt ‘tch’ or ‘ch’
HFWs: saw about came make time
Year 2s: the letters ‘tion’ which sound like the sounds /shun/
Helpful Words: try tried cry cried reply replied
Mathematics: We are learning to… apply our number skills to solve reasoning puzzles. Use your knowledge of tens and ones, and counting forwards and back in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s. Try to think how and why you know the answers to develop your reasoning skills.
N.B. These are our Year 1 objectives. Mrs Lord has set Education City work for Year 2. However, Year 2s may of course use our resources below as extra practice!
Wider Learning
This week, we will be looking at all things Sunflowers!
Science: Learn about the life cycle of a sunflower (link below). You could also investigate seed dispersal, which is the different ways plants spread their seeds. Can you find any interesting seeds while you are out and about? You might have already planted some sunflower seeds, or you might like to have a go in the next few weeks ready for the summer holiday.
Art: Look at the famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh using the BBC Bitesize and Tate Kids links below. Observe some photos of sunflowers carefully, noticing the colours and shapes (link below). Then make your own version of Van Gogh’s sunflowers. Try really hard to copy Van Gogh's style. You could paint, draw or collage.
Geography: Vincent van Gogh was from Holland, which is in a country called The Netherlands. Can you find The Netherlands on a world atlas (map) or globe? There is also a map reading challenge below for you to have a go at, if you like!

work for Year 2. However, Year 2s may of course use our resources below as extra practice!Wider Learning (Science): Plant a seed or bean. Begin a bean/seed diary, which we will fill in each week as the plant grows. You might like to use the template below or make your own on paper. You can use diagrams, measurements and written descriptions to record the progress of your plant’s growth.
Wider Learning (DT/Science): Edible parts of plants. Look at the Education City Science folder for this week. We will be looking at the edible parts of different plants. How many different plant parts have you got in your kitchen? Can you design or find a recipe or meal that has all the different parts of a plant in it. e.g stalk, leaves, seeds, fruits? Perhaps you could make a salad, quiche or soup. You could photograph your meal, draw and label it, or write a set of instructions as a recipe. It’s totally up to you!
Wider Learning (Art/Computing): Have a go at making digital art with Waffle the Wonder Dog! Link below.
