Summer 1

Homework 1st May

Please remember we do not expect any work to be 'handed in'. 

 

PERSONALISED HOMEWORK

Please continue with this. We have found these skills are best covered little but often. If you could find 5 minutes 3x a week to practise the above it would be greatly appreciated. ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP WORKING ON THE NUMBER BONDS WITHIN 10, thank you. COMPLETION DATE: Ongoing 

 

Phonics

We have now learned the majority of sounds we will do in Y1. After May half term all Y1 children will be completing the phonic screen check. Each week I will attach a past paper for you to practice at home. Please see the document section for this weeks paper. Please speak to a member of the Y1 team if you have any questions about this. The pass mark for the last few years has been 32/40. COMPLETION DATE: Ongoing 

 

Big Write

For the Big Write on Wednesday 7th May Year 1 will be retelling the story of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Please could you read and sequence the story with your child. I have attached a PowerPoint in the document section below in case you do not have the story at home. We will read the story in class before the write. Children will not have the sequence pictures available to them for the write but will have a word mat to support. COMPLETION DATE: 07.05.25

 

Maths

ARITHMETIC - This half term we can are going to continue to have a real focus on arithmetic (especially missing number questions). In the documents section I have added a sheet for your child to practice. They can have a numberline with them to complete the sheet if it is helpful. Please can your child have a go independently and then you can see where they may need more help. Please talk to a member of the Y1 team if you have any questions about this. 

 

Maths homework this year will be focussed on our basic skills and NumBots. By the end of year 1 children need to be able to:

  • Say 1 more/less for numbers to 100
  • Count in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards (and from any given number)
  • Know doubles (up to 12) and halves (up to 24)
  • Know number bonds to 5,10 and 20 

 

We have found these skills are best covered little but often. If you could find 5 minutes 3x a week to practise the above it would be greatly appreciated. If your child needs a number line, number square or manipulatives to help with this to begin with then that is absolutely fine. This is best done verbally as the aim is for rapid recall.

  • For one more/less it is just asking questions such as one more than 38 or one less than 45 (the number square will help with this)
  • Count in 2s, 5s and 10s - Use the number square to spot the pattern and then try without when confident

 

NUMBOTS - NumBots will continue this year and I will set challenges as well where appropriate. Please can you carry on completing your story record this week. Certificates will be handed out on Friday 9th May for anyone who has completed a level. COMPLETION DATE: 07.05.25

 

Any questions about maths, please ask a member of the Year 1 team.
