What topics we focusing on throughout Year One?

Homework in Year 1

We are incredibly grateful for all the support at home. Just a short amount of time each day supporting your child with reading, spelling and homework makes a huge difference to their confidence and understanding. Please speak to me if you have any questions regarding homework in Year One.

Children will receive alternative Maths or English homework. These will go out every Friday and due in the following Wednesday in order for it to be checked.  Children need to be completing these as independently as possible, with help if required.

One Big Cat Collins Reading book will be sent home every Wednesday.  Please sign the children’s reading record to acknowledge reading has been completed at home so staff can monitor progress and identify any additional support that may be required.  In addition the children will choose a 'sharing for pleasure' book from our school/classroom library to share together at home.

Phonics - Little Wandle Weekly Overview - On Fridays, we will send home an overview of our Little Wandle Phonics programme.  We encourage the children to practise these at home throughout the week as the impact of regular practise is hugely beneficial. 

Spellings- 

On a Friday, we will send home 5 tricky word spellings for the children to work on. They will have an informal spelling test during the week. We also encourage parents to look at the spellings on the bottom of the Little Wandle Overview sheet where children can practise spellings of words which will include our new weekly phonics sounds. Please speak to us for any advice to help support spellings at home!
