Tuesday 6th January 2026 - Home Learning

As school is closed today you can have a go at these learning tasks and bring any work you do with you when you come back to school. You can also read your reading book and complete the homework which was sent home yesterday.

Maths - In Year 1 we are exploring the numbers 10 to 20. This includes counting, ordering, and writing the numbers in numerals and words.

Please have a go at practising this at home with your child. Below is an example of writing numbers in numerals and words:

10 — ten
11 — eleven

Please carry this on to 20!

English - For this home learning activity, we would love the children to explore the snow and ice.

Please support your child to safely step just outside your front door or into the garden. Encourage them to carefully touch the snow or ice and think about how it feels.

Can they write words or sentences to describe it? For example — is it soft, is it cold?

Please remind them to use capital letters, full stops, and finger spaces. We will be super impressed if they can use the word ‘and’ to extend their sentences.

Reading

Please bring your reading books and records everyday so we can listen to you read in school.

The ‘5 Reads’: each half term, each year group has 5 new picture books to read daily during story time. These picture books are age appropriate and often link to the current learning for each year group. This ensures the children are exposed to a wide range of genres and authors across the year and develop confidence in knowing a variety of stories in greater depth. These ‘5 reads’ books are further celebrated in a half termly assembly to share the cohort’s favourite book of the half term and to receive their new ‘5 reads’.

This half term we are reading…

The Queen's Hat by Steven Antony / The Queen's Knickers by Nicholas Alan / That Rabbit belongs to Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell / Somebody Swallowed by Sarah Roberts / Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae

Have a look at what we will be studying this term.
