Dear Parents,

Welcome back. We would firstly like to let you know that our Year 1 assembly will take place on Monday 7th July at 9:15am. We hope this gives you enough notice to make suitable arrangements in order to watch the show. Further information about your child's role and required outfit will be sent out very soon. The lyrics for the songs are attached as PDF files at the top of this page should the children wish to practise at home.

The links for the two songs available on YouTube are as follows:

This week's homework is as follows:

Spellings

To be tested on Monday 9th June:

Both groups: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

To be tested on Monday 16th June:

Both groups: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Every Monday, the children will bring home their red spellings book. The spellings to be learnt for the following Monday will be stuck in the back of this book. Please do not practise the spellings in this book, as it is for use in school only.

Maths

Where possible, we would like the children to practise their number facts at home! They can use the following platforms to do so:

Hit the Button - This can be found on Google and is also available on to download on App Store or Google Play.

White Rose: 1 Minute Maths - This can be downloaded on both the App Store or Google Play.

On Hit the Button, we would like the children to strive towards fluency in the following areas:

• Number bonds → Up to 10 → Make 10 or Addition within 10
• Doubles → Doubles to 10
• Halves → Halves to 10

On 1 Minute Maths, we would like the children to practise the following objectives:

• 1 to 6 from the Addition section
• 1 to 6 from the Subtraction section

We would like you to encourage your children to access these platforms on a regular basis.

Reading books

Every Tuesday, your child will bring a new reading book home that they will focus on in school throughout the week. Please ensure you are reading regularly with your child at home to support their learning. We would appreciate it if you could write a brief comment in their reading record each time a home reading session has been completed.

PE lessons

Please note that the children's PE lessons will take place on Thursday and Fridays during the Summer term.

Twycross Zoo trip

For the upcoming trip, we require the children to bring a small backpack so they can carry their own water bottle and lunch. They may also bring an extra snack if desired. Thanks!

Best wishes,

Mr Storer and Mrs Johnston
