Year 1

Home Learning from January 2021

Day One

Phonics - /gg/

1) Start by revising the graphemes known so far using a flashcard game at: https://www.phonicsbloom.com/uk/game/flash-cards?p…
2) Introduce the /gg/ grapheme by explaining that when /g/ and /g/ are together they are code for one sound. This is called a digraph (where two letters are code for one sound). The children should be familiar with this.
3) Decode and read the /gg/ words. Discuss the meaning of the harder words to check for understanding.

4) Apply - Can you add your favourite words into a sentence? Focus on 'sounding out', using finger spaces and trying to get letters 'superglued' to the line. Add pictures to show off your learning :)

Geography - Countries of the United Kingdom
Ask your child if they can name what country they live in? Ask what countries are around the Isle of Man? If I got on a plane or boat, where could I go? Watch the following BBC clip that introduces the countries of the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/geog...
Explain that the Isle of Man is a little bit different as we're not part of the United Kingdom even though we are next to it. Also point out where Ireland (or Republic of Ireland) is. Your challenge is to discuss the different countries around the Isle of Man. Have you been there? Do you have relatives or friends there? You can watch a few more Go Jetters episodes if you want to explore some more places. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/pshe...

Can you make some flags for the different countries to hang up at home? Try to add the country name too! There's also a map activity to do if you have access to a printer, if not please focus on flag making.
