Reading 

On Wednesday your child bought home their next reading book. This book has been read in school with them following the Little Wandle Scheme – it is directly matched to your child’s reading ability. We will read your child’s new Little Wandle book in school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The book sent home on Wednesday is now for you to read and follow up at home.  Your child has also bought home a school library book of their choice – this is not matched to their reading ability and is therefore a book to share together.

We visit the library on Tuesdays and Thursdays where they can be changed .

Please record ALL reading in your child’s reading record so that we can see that reading, story sharing or other reading for pleasure has taken part every day at home.

Reading records and reading books are expected to be bought into school every day to be monitored and to record when your child has read in school.

Spellings

This weeks words are taken from the Year 1 National Curriculum. These are ‘common exception’ words that your child is expected to be able to spell independently in their writing by the end of Year 1. You will notice that some of these words your child is familiar with from Reception. Please practise writing the words below together.

We will ‘test’ these spellings next Friday. The scores will be in your child’s reading record for you to see and to continue practising any words that they need further support with. We will continue to learn these words in Year 1 using our spelling list to support when writing.

This weeks words are..

Maths

This week we have finished looking at addition and will be moving onto subtraction next week. This weeks home learning is a bit different to usual.

Your child has come home with a worksheet in their reading record – this has a few different style questions that we have looked at since starting addition including part whole models, addition on a number line, missing numbers and problem solving questions.

Please support your child with these questions at home and work through them together.

This will help to consolidate learning in class ready to move on next week.

Thank you for your continued support
