Homework
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday.
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 Monday.
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
This term, we will be focussing on learning the Year 1 common exception words. We will have a weekly spelling quiz on Fridays. This is the list of spellings we will be learning.
Here are some games and activities ideas you can do with your child to make learning spellings more fun!
Maths
To begin Summer 2, we are learning about shape. We will learn to recognise and name common 2D and 3D shapes and related everyday objects.
We will then move onto learning about position and direction and how to describe position, in terms of whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns.
For measurement, we will measure and begin to record the following: lengths and heights, mass/weight, capacity and volume, time (hours, minutes, seconds).
We will also look at money and learn to recognise different denominations of coins and notes.
Finally, we will learn about time and how to sequence events in chronological order using language- before and after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening]. We learn to recognise and use language relating to dates- days of the week, weeks, months and years. We will practise telling the time to the hour and half past the hour and drawing the hands on a clock face to show these times.
Throughout the term we will continue to become fluent and have a depth of understanding of numbers to 20 through The Mastery of Number programme.
Please help your child at home by teaching them how to tell the time on an analogue clock to the hour and half hour.
If you still have cash around, allow them to explore it and explain how much each coin/note is worth. Ask them to count your change and tell you how much money you have in your wallet.
