Homework
Your child is required to log onto Numbots everyday. Their username and password can be found in their blue homework diary. If they do not know their login details then please speak to their class teacher.
Please click the link : https://play.numbots.com/#/account/school-login-type? to access the Numbots website and remember to support your child in completing this work.
Your child will receive paper copies of the green and red words linked to their Phonics lesson. They should practise reading and spelling these.
Reading
It is very important that your child reads everyday. Please remember to sign their homework diary when you have listened to them read. Your child will visit our Year 1 library to change their reading books weekly. We change reading books weekly so that they are able to demonstrate that they have understood what they have read. This also enables the them to increase their fluency and understanding.
Children take home two library books; one is linked to their phonics group and the other is for reading pleasure.
