Welcome to Year 1
To support your child with their phonics at home, you will find some useful files and links 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 Thursday (inside). This term we will be focusing on our racket and ball skills and our Nativity dances.
Maths
For this half term we will be focusing on place value to 10 and addition and subtraction.
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. An adult will help you with this to start with.
Homework
Homework will begin after the half term to allow children to get into the routine of year 1 first.
Maths and English homework will alternate weekly but spellings will be sent each week.
Phonics games! To help the children prepare for the phonics screen check in June have a go at a few games :)
There's a fab alien game that has a mario vibe!
