Year 1 Information Evening

Discussion Points Weekly Year 1 homework; Practical examples and extra ideas for home; Homework expectations; Homework club; Question Time.

Weekly Homework Activities Each week Year 1 children receive three pieces of homework. These three pieces of homework are: Reading (the more the better); Spellings (1 set of spellings given per spelling group); Maths (1 piece - often differentiated).

Reading Children take home book banded books to read at home; The more reading the better; Tips to help with reading at home.

Maths Maths homework is stuck in to homework books each week; Often maths homework is differentiated according to the maths group your child is in; Maths homework will always reflect the area of maths that has been covered in class that week; Maths homework is not supposed to be a challenge, it is a revision task; Tips to help with maths homework.

Homework Expectations Our Homework Promises; Homework will be given out every Friday; Please ensure homework is given in by the following Thursday at the latest (if given in after this unfortunately I can not guarantee I will have time to mark it).

KS1 Homework Club! Having trouble finding time at home to complete homework? Finding it hard to encourage your child to complete their homework? Miss Nicholas runs a homework club for KS1 children at 12:45 – 1:15pm every Friday lunchtime.
