Year 1
Half-term: Spring 2
Theme: Around the World in 30 days!
In Year 1, we believe that homework should consolidate the learning that has taken place in school and engage the children in sharing this new knowledge with their families. Please choose and complete at least 6 activities from the grid over the course of the halfterm.
Homework can be recorded in the homework book or brought into school in any other form (photos, posters etc).
We teach the children to take pride and responsibility for their own work and therefore we expect each homework task to be completed with care and to the best of their ability.
We can’t wait to see your work!
Don’t forget to read your Phonics books at home 3 times a week, as well as sharing other stories with people in your family! You could also revisit your special friends (sound mat attached). We would also like to encourage the children to practise their Number Bonds to 20 and Red Words with an adult at home wherever possible.
Animal Activity
As we are still learning about classifying animals in Science, can you draw an example of a Herbivore, Carnivore and Omnivore?
World Book Day!
Can you share a range of stories with your family?
Could you write in your homework book about your favourite story and explain why you chose it?
Children’s choice
Share something you have learnt in school with someone at home! You could share a song you’ve learnt in Music or explain all you know about the continents from Geography!
