Year 1 2021 - 2022
Mrs Cooper
Class Teacher
Welcome to Year 1
To support your child with their phonics at home, you will find some useful files attached to this page. These can be referred to whilst reading together or during writing activities.
PE
We will be having PE on a Monday (outside) and Friday (inside). This term we will be focusing on athletics and dance!
Reading
Please record any home time reads in your child's reading diary. This can be a story, a recipe, a comic or phonics practice. You must bring it to school every day. It also contains helpful phonics pages. You will change your book every Monday and can change it again on a Thursday if you are ready to. An adult will help you with this to start with.
Spellings
Spellings will be given out on a Friday and the children will complete tasks throughout the week to help them memorise them. We will not complete 'spelling tests' with the children until we feel they are ready for this challenge. Please practice the spelling lists with your child as it helps enormously with their confidence in reading and writing.
This weeks spelling sheet can be found in the folder below.
Homework
Homework will be weekly, handed out on a Friday and due in again on the following Wednesday. A homework grid is available in the folder below showing you the homework for each week of this half term.
For additional phonics practice, try a few of our favourite phonics games!
