Maths homework Year 1

Numbots 

We are now using ‘Numbots’ as our maths homework in Year 1. You will be able to login to Numbots using your child’s Time Table Rockstars login details (found at the back of their reading diary).

We would like your child to complete 3 minutes on ‘Story Mode’, 4 to 5 times a week. Story mode will then unlock a range of challenges for your child complete, the emphasis of the challenges is on rapid responses to essential facts and simple sums, against the clock.

We will be able to track the children’s progress through the story mode, and see how they are getting on with their challenges.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Many thanks,

The Year 1 Team.

Collage animals

In our Art lessons this half term, Year 1 have been learning about the artist Robert Bradford. The children used pictures of plastic toys to make collages in the style of Robert’s recycled sculptures.

Art – recycled sculpture

Next week in Art, Year 1 children will be making their own recycled sculptures based on the work of the artist Robert Bradford. Please could we ask you to save any  cardboard packaging (cereal boxes, food packaging, kitchen roll tubes etc.) and clean, plastic bottle tops and send these into school by Monday 20th March ready for the lesson on Tuesday 21st March.

Many thanks,

Year 1 Team

Year 1 spellings and phonics homework

Today your child will bring home a sheet containing the Year 1 common exception words. These are words that all children should be able to read and spell by the end of Year 1. Please support your child to spell these words, as they will be tested on a selection of them on Friday 3rd March.

In addition to this, children will bring home a sheet of phonics words to practise reading in preparation for the phonics check which will be taking place in June.

Many thanks,

Year 1 Team

Year 1 History

As part of our History topic we will be looking at modern toys. On Thursday 12th January, we are asking Year 1 children to bring in a toy from home to look at in class. This is optional, but it will be a chance for the children to look at a range of different modern toys, talk about how they play with them and what they are made out of. If your child is bringing in a toy, please could it be clearly labelled with their name or in a named carrier bag. The toys will be kept in the children’s own lockers for the morning and just used for the History lesson. They will bring the toy home at the end of the day. We ask that children do not bring in any expensive, precious or breakable toys. We will take very good care of the toys, but accidents can happen.

Many thanks,

Year 1 Team
