Phonics: 

In year 1 the children are taught phonics through the Little Wandle Phonics scheme. 

Below is a link for guidance and more information about the scheme.

https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/ 

English:

Please hear your child read at home as much as possible. This really helps them in all subjects (please ensure that reading books are in school every day). Remember that they do not need to read the entire book in one day. Please continue to hear them read daily and write it in their reading record books.
Encourage your child to write for different purposes at home - shopping lists, birthday cards, letters to family etc. This will help improve their writing in a fun way.

Maths: Write numbers and number words to ten. Make sure that the numbers are correctly formed (numbers always start at the top).

Adult write a number word - child write the number in numeral form.

Play the maths game -  https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/teddy-numbers as both numbers and number words.

 

If your child does any of these, please send them in so that they can receive house points.
