Our Weekly Timetable

Monday	Homework set
Tuesday	PE
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday	Spelling Test PE

 

Reading books will be changed weekly once your child has read in class. This could be a different day each week so please make sure they have their reading book in school every day. 

Homework

Every Monday, spelling homework will be set via the online apps. The spellings are taken from the Year 1 curriculum and corresponds with what pupils have been learning in their phonics lessons. It is essential that pupils practise their spellings daily, via spelling shed, for the spelling test which takes place on a Friday.

Maths homework will follow Numbots, which is an online game. You child will be set challenges to complete each week. Year 1 is an important year with the Phonics screening. Reading daily and encouraging the children to write a sentence when completing their spelling homework will support them in their phonic knowledge.

 

Reading and Phonics

Reading forms an essential part of the Year 1 curriculum and phonics is a strategy used to help pupils develop their reading skills. All pupils in Year 1 will take part in a daily phonics lesson following the Rocket Phonics scheme. Below is some information about phonics for parents and some links to phonics games. Further information can be found on the school's phonics page.
