Google Classroom 

Please keep checking Google Classroom as your homework will be set on here. Homework will be set Friday to Friday and will include spellings and an additonal task. 

Homework helps children by recapping learning that has taken place in the classroom. It is important that homework is completed every week. 

Home Reading

Reading is a priority at our school and we want our children and families to foster a love of reading. We will be sending a book each week that is linked to your child’s phonics ability, it is important that this book is read at least 3 x through the week to build up speed and fluency.

We will be completing lots of reading tasks in school- including talk through stories which introduces new vocabulary and builds comprehension.

Phonics screening check:

Children in Year 1 throughout the country will be taking part in a phonics screening check during the same week in June.

It is designed to confirm whether each individual has learnt the sufficient phonics decoding and blending skills to an appropriate standard.

Please see the government guidelines set out for phonics screening:
