Homework

Spelling Shed - Spelling Shed - The Science of Spelling

Every Monday, spelling homework will be set via the online apps. The spellings are taken from the Year 1 curriculum and corresponds with what pupils have been learning in their phonics lessons. It is essential that pupils practise their spellings daily, via spelling shed, for the spelling test which takes place on a Friday.

NumBots | Welcome to the NumBlog!

Maths homework will follow Numbots, which is an online game. You child will be set challenges to complete each week. Year 1 is an important year with the Phonics screening. Reading daily and encouraging the children to write a sentence when completing their spelling homework will support them in their phonic knowledge.

All pupils in Year 1 will take part in a daily phonics lesson following the Rocket Phonics scheme. Below is some information about phonics for parents and some links to phonics games.
