Due to an increased number of absences as a result of families choosing to isolate, we have created a bank of resources that can be used at home to ensure the children are still able to practise their key skills. All of the children will be able to access these tasks and we ask you to help support them as necessary and ensure they are appropriate.
We ask that you support your children to revise prior learning and do not introduce new concepts or ideas that require explicit teaching.
*ALL NECESSARY LOG IN INFORMATION WILL BE SHARED THROUGH PARENTMAIL*
Maths:

Use this game to practise number bonds to 10 and 20.

This is a fantastic resource for revising taught concepts. Use the tabs on the left ‘Number, Measurement & Geometry’ and try some Year 1 lessons and homework. Please do not attempt tasks designed for a separate year group. We have not yet taught ‘Multiplication & Division’ or anything about time. If there is anything that your children struggles with that requires more than ‘normal’ parental help, please try something else as it may be that your child requires more support in school to secure this skill.
Phonics:

This is currently free to use (see details on the website), in the event that this changes, follow this link to the free tasks: https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ChildrensMenu.htm Picnic on Pluto is a good way to explore sounding out, blending & reading. This does not follow our phonics scheme so it is very important to check with the children that they know the sound you select in advance.

Use this website to practise Year 1 Common Exception Words
In the event of a school closure, further tasks will be shared with the children through their Google Drive. All children have been set up with this and are in a Google Classroom with their teacher so can see work that is shared with them. The log in details for this will be shared through ParentMail. Find the Google Drive by going to GoogleChrome and signing in.

This website can be used to support phonics and is expanding regularly with new free content. There are plenty of free ebooks that can be read, as well as information about how to pronounce sounds properly. Further resources will be shared on this page periodically.
