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.
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.
