Homework Expectation –
In Year 1 we set Spellings linked to the National Curriculum, weekly maths facts and weekly reading to be completed at home. We expect children to read 5 times a week at home.
Other Homework, special challenges and competitions are also put on Google Classroom. All of our planning is available weekly on Google Classroom.
Things to Remember Each Week –
All Year 1 pupils need to remember to:
• Bring their P.E. kit to school at the start of term and take it home at the end of term.
• Bring in their reading books and Reading Logs every day.
• Ensure all school uniform and other items are clearly labelled with permanent pen.
Ways To Support Learning At Home –
Speak to your class teacher if you would like specific ways to support learning at home. However, general steps to take are: Help with weekly spelling practice (a copy of Year 1 Spellings is available on Google Classroom for each term).
Weekly maths practice.
Read with your child each day at home (see Reading Logs and bookmarks for inspiration and key questions to ask when reading).
If you are interested in helping in school, please speak to the School Office to enquire about a DBS volunteer pack. We would really value help with trips, reading, cooking and art activities.
