Welcome Meeting
If you were unable to attend the Year One Welcome Meeting, please find attached the PowertPoint slides.
Homework
Your child will be set Maths homework everyday on Numbots. Your child should have been given a username and password. If they do not know their login details then please ask their class teacher.
Please click the link to log on: https://play.numbots.com/#/account/school-login-type? to access the website and remember to support your child in completing this work.
The children will get paper copies of the green words and red words from their Phonics lesson. They should practise reading and spelling of these.
Reading
It is very important that your child reads every day. Please remember to sign your child’s reading journal when you have listened to them read. Your child will be able to change their reading book weekly, once they have been able to demonstrate that they have understood what they have read. This enables the children the chance to increase their fluency and understanding of what they are reading.
The children can also take home another book of their choice from our new Year 1 Library, which we visit every Tuesday.
