Three short practice activities

Ask the learner to try each question before opening the answer. Use familiar examples, drawings or safe objects as helpful. These questions were written for this page and are not extracts from the downloadable files.

1. Living things

Question: Which is a living thing: a stone or a tree?

Show answer and adult support prompt

A tree is a living thing. Adult prompt: Ask what the child has observed about trees growing. Keep the explanation connected to familiar observations instead of expecting an abstract definition.

2. Keeping a place tidy

Question: Where should you put a small piece of ordinary classroom litter?

Show answer and adult support prompt

Put it in the appropriate bin. Adult prompt: Explain the classroom routine and supervise sorting where needed. Children should tell an adult about sharp, dirty or unknown items rather than picking them up.

3. Weather words

Question: What can you use to describe a day when rain is falling?

Show answer and adult support prompt

You can say it is rainy. Adult prompt: Look safely from a sheltered place and describe what you can see or hear. A weather description should match the conditions being observed.

Using Grade 1 topical practice

  1. Choose something already taught. Read the instruction slowly. Check whether the learner understands the words before judging the answer.
  2. Allow an independent attempt. Give time to speak, draw, count or write as the activity requires. Avoid giving the answer before the learner has had a chance to think.
  3. Discuss one correction. Explain why a response works and try a similar example. Praise the useful strategy, such as checking a count or finding a reason in a sentence.

These activities support a short revision discussion. Match them to the learner’s classroom work and learning needs. They are not full examinations or a claim that every current curriculum outcome is covered.
