Year One Homework

Reading

The most important thing you can do to help your child is to read with them everyday.

Your child needs to read with an adult every night. Please practise reading aloud and talk to them about the book.

You can change your book regularly at school.

Each child can do extra reading on Get Epic Your child has been given a class code

Maths

Your child has access to:

MyMaths - this is set by the teacher each week.

Doodle maths - this is set individually for each child at their level of learning.

You can help your child even more by doing everyday activities at home that need maths. For instance, ask your children about counting the change in your purse. If you enjoy cooking, why not get them to help with the recipe? Measure the amounts of flour, sugar, count the eggs and use the clock to work out when your cake will be baked.

Even simple counting of objects will help their understanding.

Reading and maths are very important, but just as important is taking the time to talk to your child and take part in activities together.
