Dear Year 1 Parents, 

Homework

Homework will be posted on the class page. It will be given out on a Tuesday and will be due in the following Tuesday. It will consist of a mathematics task, spellings to learn for our spelling test and daily reading.

Reading books will be changed every Tuesday. Please ensure that your child has their reading book and reading record in school every day.

Daily Reading

Your child should read at home every day. This can be by reading aloud to someone, being read to or reading by themselves. The more they read, the better their reading will become. This is important, because reading is such a fundamental skill. Please note your child's reading activities in their reading record. 

Phonics - Bug Club

One sound per week will be allocated for your child to practise at home. This will usually be a mixture of games and online books.

Spelling Test

Pupils will practise ten spellings each week, followed by a spelling test every Tuesday. Please help your child to learn the spellings by regularly getting them to write each word from memory. The "look, cover, write, check" process is a good way to learn new spellings. Children should practise writing the spellings throughout the week to retain it in their long-term memory. To challenge themselves, children can try putting each word into a sentence.

Mathematics

Every week children will be given a mathematics tasks. Pupils would benefit from working with an adult as they explore new concepts. Lots of quality talk about mathematics, between adults and children, is very powerful for the children's learning. Mathematics homework will be linked to the work children are doing in school that week.

Thank you for all you do in supporting your child in their education.

Kind regards, 

Miss Pang
