Homework - 3rd October - 10th October

Reading

Continue to read both reading books and write a comment or sign so we know your child has read. Please ensure your child has their reading book in their bag every day as there will be opportunities to read in school across the week.

Oxford Owl 

Thank you to those who have been reading the online book and completing the quiz on a weekly basis. Please ensure you access this very valuable resource with your child.  If you have any problems, please speak to your child's teacher.

History/Oracy

We are looking at how life as a child has changed over time since their grandparents were little.  We would like to create a mini classroom museum of artefacts from the past (from when the grandparent was a child).  If you have them, we would like each child to bring in an item from the past to put on display in our mini classroom museum, for example, a teddy, doll, games, cassette tapes, baby clothes, photograph of grandparent playing with toy etc.

Homework 26.9.24 - 2.10.24

Reading

Your child should have two new reading books each week, please continue to read at home as regularly as possible and write a comment or sign in your child's reading record.  There is lots of helpful information in the reading record and on the reading section of the Year 1 website.

Oxford Owl Online 

The new books that the children have read during RWI this week are now available on Oxford Owl.  Their individual logins are the same as last year but we will aim to stick a reminder in their new reading record by Friday.

Spelling

Please practise spelling these red words at home. Encourage your children to 'pyramid write' the words. This is where they built the word up letter by letter (see example below). No need to bring these in to school. Thank you for supporting your child's learning.

Science

In class we have learnt about and have explored our senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching). Can you go on a sensory walk (this could in a local park, at the shops or even in your garden) and discuss with your child what they can see, hear, smell, taste and feel?
