Homework

PE

Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. 

Please make sure your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on those days.

Reading

We love reading in Year 1!

Year 1's reading books will be changed every Friday.
The children MUST have their books in school everyday so we can read with them.

Click here for some useful tips on how you can support your child with Reading at home. We suggest you read with your child at least 4-5 times a week. 

If you need any support with reading at home, please come and speak with Miss Panetta.

Spellings

Maths

In Autumn 1, we are starting with Place Value within 10 and then 20. We will be counting  to and across 10 then 20, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number. We will learn to identify one more and one less of a number to 10 then 20..

We will also be identifying and representing numbers using objects and pictures including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least. 

We will learn to partition numbers to up to 10 then 20. As well as solve missing number problems when we already know one of the numbers. 

Please help your child at home by practising counting  to 20 forwards and backwards. Teach them how to count objects accurately by finding objects around the house (such as colouring in pencils, Lego or spoons) and helping them to count how many there are. Support them to count slowly and carefully and move each object so they count accurately. 

Help them to learn their number bonds to 5 and 10 (e.g. 1 + 4 = 5, 2 + 3 = 5, 5 + 5 = 10...) will also really support their maths learning. 

This website has a fun game they can play about number bonds.
