Year 1 homework – Friday 9th October 2020
Reading:
Monday-Thursday: Reading book will be issued, please try to read for a short time (10 mins) each night wherever possible.
Thursday-Monday: Reading Eggs/Fast Phonics practise and an assignment set on Reading Eggspress which is matched to the reading level in class. Please ensure the ‘read to me’ button is switched off.
In addition to Reading Eggs and a reading book, all year 1 children have a Teach Your Monster to read account.
Log in here http://www.teachyourmonstertoread.co.uk – this is just for fun!
Spelling:
Year 1 spellings are on Spelling Shed http://www.spellingshed.co.uk
Your childs spellings are linked to our phonics coverage in year 1.
This week we are focusing on ff, ll, zz, ss, ck, the children will be tested on a Friday.
Common Exceptional Words for year 1 will run alongside this as an additional game until the end of the Autumn term – this is not part of the weekly spelling test currently.
Maths:
Maths for this week is from Oak Academy. It is based around combining objects using the part whole model that we have been working on in class this week. Here is the link for the session.

In addition to this, to support basic skills and overlearning in maths, we have Numbots. All children have a log in for this on their individual sheet.
I am available on Purple Mash e mail if support is needed. Please send me a photo through Purple Mash e mail when you have completed your maths homework!
Thank you

Reading wb 5th October 2020
We have now been able to set books to each child’s Reading Eggs account which is based on our assessments in school. We have allocated one book this week. To access, log into Reading Eggs as normal but choose Reading Eggspress where your child will be able to start their assignment. There is a quiz after the book to check comprehension. Please ensure that the ‘read to me’ button at the top of the page is switched off.
In addition to this we are starting to send reading books home – your child will be issued a reading book on a Monday and they should bring this into school with them daily. The level of the book given is based currently on the guided reading that we have done in class and assessments in school this year. Please sign and comment in the reading diary so that we know your child has read at home.
On Thursday, the books will be collected and then re-issued the following Monday.

Here is a link to some BBC Bitesize videos https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2yf4j
We have also worked on some of the phase 3 phonemes in our phonics sessions:
