Welcome to Year 1

Homework 

Homework will be sent out every week on a Friday and needs to be returned the following Wednesday. There will be 1 homework task each week (chosen from the ‘menu’) plus spellings and reading.

The Year 1 Homework Menu

Each term, there will be a selection of homework activities inside your homework book. You will need to select one each week to complete. You can record these inside the homework book, send pictures via dojo or send in any of your creations. Once you have completed an activity, you can tick it off the ‘menu’.

Spellings

There will also be a set of spellings included within the homework book. You can practise them inside the book or in a way that suits you. Spellings will be built up over the terms.

There will be a spelling test each week on a Friday. We will send your results via a message on myed.

Reading

There will be two reading books sent in your homework pack each week:

• One R.W.I which will have been read in school, so you should be familiar with it
• One that is colour banded, which matches the reading group you are in

Once you have read the banded book, please indicate this in your Reading Record. Please read these books as much as possible, as it helps to build up fluency.

We also encourage you to read books that you have at home and record them in your Reading Record. The more the better! 😊

PE for Year 1 will take place every Monday and Thursday.  Children can come to school wearing their full PE kit (dark joggers or shorts, white t-shirt, black trainers, dark hoody, zipped jacket or blue school jumper).

Thank you for your support, Year 1 Team 😊

Year 1 - What we're learning

Please note, this page will be updated termly, so please keep checking back.

Spring Term

Year One have come back after Christmas excited and ready to learn. Miss Foden, Ms. Robertson and Miss Humphries are looking forward to seeing more amazing learning from the children, especially with our Sea Life Centre trip coming up as well!
 
Our Topic this term is ’Oceans and Jungles'.  We will be reading and learning about ‘The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish’ and ‘The Snail and the Whale’ as well as ‘Tin Forest’ and ‘There’s a Tiger in My Garden’. We will continue to make sure we are using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops in our sentence writing and also look at more suffixes. We can't wait to see what work the children produce!
 
In Maths, we will be challenging ourselves and learning the numbers up to 50! We will also be learning about length, mass and volume. In Science, we are looking at animals including humans which is about classifying animals and looking at what they eat.

Autumn Term

Year One have had a great start into the New Academic Year. Miss Foden, Ms. Robertson and Miss Humphries are delighted with how they have adapted to the transition from Reception into Year One!

We are getting to grips with new routines, coming in quietly and settling down to our morning work.

Our Topic this term is ’Monsters'.  We will be reading and learning about Morris the Mankiest Monster and we can't wait to see what work the children produce!

We will also be working on our place value in Maths.  After our October break, we will begin our Addition and Subtraction block of learning, with lots of exciting ways of working out our number sentences and recognising the symbols. We will also be looking at 2D and 3D shapes.
