Year 1
We encourage you to read regularly with your child. This is the main focus of homework.
Weekly phonics work will be uploaded every Friday. This is an optional home task to support phonics learning in class, and does not need to be returned to school.
Each term there will be additional topic themed suggested activities on the homework page. Children can bring any completed work in to share with the class.
Please find below some links to suggested activities and resources that you may want to use to support your child further at home.
