We would like for your child to complete the coloured square activities, along with any 2 other activities. We would love to share and celebrate home learning, so please send things in via email, or in person if this is appropriate and possible to do so We will be sharing this on Thursdays.

Spellings:
This term the Year 1 children will be bringing home spellings to learn each week. They will have an informal quiz on a Friday. The spellings will be a mix of 'tricky words' and words which contain the sounds of the week.
Reading:
In order for your child build a love of reading, as well as the skills for reading, we ask that you support your child by hearing them read at least 5 times a week. Please make sure that you sign and date your child's reading record when this has taken place so that we can see what is being read and how frequently. If you need support with this then please ask.
We will hear your child read either in a guided group or individually every week, so please make sure their reading book and record are brought into school daily and put into their tray.
Lunch:
