Daily Essentials

Phonics/Reading

Please read your child's phonics reading book with them each day. Any extra reading you can do with your child at home would be most beneficial. This could include a range of non-fiction and fiction books as well as poems.
Please see a list of Year 1 recommended reads below.
Phonics screening check words will be sent home for extra practise.

Maths

We are continuing to focus on number formation and place value with 50.
Please practise number formation with your child.
Counting forwards and backwards from any given number. A good resource to select a given number can be accessed here: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-square

English

Practise writing simple sentences with your child. This can be as simple as what you are going to be doing that day. You can write a sentence from a picture from your favourite book, or any book that you have at home.
This term we are focusing on capital letters, finger spaces, full stops in the correct place and reading their own work back to check that it makes sense.
Please practise letter formation with your child.
