Year 1 Homework
Core Tasks
These are essential items of homework that must be completed regularly in order for your child to make expected progress.
Reading: Your child has two individual reading books which can be fully decoded using their phonic skills. Please comment each time your child reads at home. Additional guidance can be found at the start of the reading diary. Each book should be read at least three times during the week, following the suggested focus below.
Please find some question types to help their comprehension.
Spellings: Please find attached the tricky word lists for Year One. Once your child is confident and secure reading and writing these words, they can write them in a sentence. We would recommend you review this list regularly with your child. We attach the lists for your reference. Please encourage your child to spell these words correctly in their everyday writing.
Mathletics: This online portal replaces Mathseeds from EYFS. The children will be set maths homework from Mathletics which will be linked to the learning in class. Once the children have completed the set tasks they are free to play on the games that they choose or explore any previous learning.
Topic based Homework
Topic based homework provides opportunities for rich discussion and collaboration linking home and school. There is always a variety of subjects and activities for the children to choose from. Please complete as many as you can in the fortnight.
There may be opportunities to post a photo on Tapestry as part of their homework tasks however, we would like the children to complete any written or number work in the books. Our focus for this will be correct letter and number formation. We encourage children to use their phonic sounds to spell new words. Please refer to the attached spelling lists as children are able to locate and copy these when needed to ensure accuracy.
