Reading and re-reading books helps children to build up their fluency and confidence, National Curriculum 2014
Research Project Look on the internet and find out about Brazil or the World Cup. Help your child to write down 10 facts that they find. Some useful websites can be found on the back of this booklet. You could always visit the library and use their computers if you do not have one at home.
Make a Poster Help your child to make a poster to advertise their favourite sport or sports team. Talk about the need for the writing to be big and bright to catch peoples eyes. Look for posters or adverts on billboards when you are out and about. What are they telling us or what do they want us to buy?
Acrostic Poem Write a poem about football using the letters in the word football as the start of each sentence. Talk to your child about what they already know about the sport to get some ideas before you start. E.g. Football is my favourite sport, Our family watch it all the time. Other people just dont like it, They dont understand the excitement as the, Ball goes into the goal AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! GOOOOAAAAALLLL! Loudly we shout! Lets all love football.
Help your child to learn their poem off by heart and perform it to their family.
By the end of Year 1, most children should be able to Count forwards and backwards in ones to 100 and read and write numbers to 100 in numerals
Count in multiples of twos, fives and tens
Say the number that is 1 more or 1 less from any number
Add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero, using the signs +, -, =
Solve one-step problems that involve repeated addition (multiplication) and repeated subtraction (division) using objects and pictures
Know all pairs of numbers making 10 and 20
Recognise and name halves and quarters of objects, shapes and quantities
Compare, describe and solve practical problems for: lengths and heights, mass and weight, capacity and volume
Know the value of different coins and notes
Tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times
Identify and name common 2-D and 3-D shapes
Describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns
Some targets are harder than they seem, e.g. children who can count up to 20 may still have trouble saying which number comes after 12. They may have to start at 1 and count from there.
Research Project Research and find out what your familys favourite sport is. Ask every member the same question and help your child to make a tally chart to show how many people like each sport. Use the data you have collected to make a block graph to show the same information in a different way.
Ask your child questions about their graph. Talk about what the data shows.
E.g. What is the most popular sport? How do you know? Which is the least popular? How many more people like football than rugby?
Telling the Time Look at the hands on a clock, and talk to your child about oclock times and half past times. Look at where the hands are on the clock. Try to use the correct words for the hour hand (the short one) and the minute hand (the long one). Talk about how the hour hand moves to the next number after the minute hand has gone all the way around the clock once. Ask your child questions which make them think about 1 hour later and 1 hour earlier.
E.g. I woke up at 8 oclock and came to school 1 hour later. What time did I come to school? I was playing football at half past 5 and an hour earlier I was eating my tea. What time did I have my tea?
Time Yourself Challenge You will need a stopwatch (most smartphones have this function in the clock settings) or a timer of some kind e.g. a kitchen timer or a sand filled egg timer, or watch the hands on a real clock. Time your child doing different activities, see how many times they can do an activity in a minute. E.g. How many times can they jump in 1 minute? How many times can they run down the garden and back in 1 minute? How many times can they write their name in 1 minute? Encourage your child to challenge other members in the family, who can do the most? Favourite Sport Sport Block graph of Favourite Sports
