Work at Home
I do not set homework for Year 1, but each week I will make a few suggestions for things you could do if you have time. They have worked hard all week and do need a weekend - but reading to and with your child is key, so please just do that! Otherwise you could………
Please ensure that your child is reading at home - school reading books, along with anything from home will be great, and ebooks from Oxford Owl. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/
We expect children to read a minimum of three times a week to an adult at home. Each time they read please make sure you sign their reading record so that your child gets a sticker!
Handwriting - if you have time you can practice handwriting - letters MUST start from the line.
Phonics work - practice the key sounds on the attached sheets.
Common Exception word list - these are the words that Yr1 must be able to read, spell and use independently by the END of the year. Children must also be able to read and write the days of the week.
Maths - each week on the weekly update I will tell you what we have been learning in Maths that week so that you can focus on that at home too. Most important, at this stage, is for the children to be able to count to 10, 20 and then 100 confidently and to be able to write the numbers correctly. Keep an eye out for our weekly focus on the News page.
Thank-you very much for your support - any questions, please just ask. Mrs Hollinghurst and Mrs Veasey
