Homework
We would like all children to read every evening. Reading books will be changed on Friday when 2/3 books will be given out, but please send the yellow Reading Record and reading book in to school every day.
Spellings and Maths 'Learn its' will be sent home on a Friday, for the children to practice, and tested the following Friday.
Phonics
•Phonics is a big part of Year 1. We have a Phonics screening test in June that is completed nationally by every Year 1 pupil.
•Your child will continue to expand on their knowledge of phonics and will probably surprise you with just how quickly they develop their reading.
•They will do 20 minutes of phonics learning each day, just like they did in Reception. These are fun, pacy sessions which involve games and tasks.
•They will learn tricky words, spelling rules and how to sound out and blend to aid them with their reading and writing.
•They will be encouraged to 'have a go' at spelling when writing independently, by phonetically sounding out words and the. introducing the correct spellings more as the year progresses.
