Reminders:

Homework is given out on Fridays and is due back on the following Wednesday. 

Spellings are handed out with their homework and they will be tested the following Friday. 

Reading at home is extremely important. Books are changed weekly. Please make sure that you write a comment in their reading books so we know they need to be changed!

PE is on Wednesdays so please ensure children have their PE kit in school on this day. 

Please remember to label all items of clothing, including everything in the PE kit, blazers and coats. Please check regularly that your child's name is on their jumper or cardigan, as names fade in the wash  - Thank you.

We look forward to a fabulous year of learning in Year 1!

General Phonics Information

 By the end of Year 1, we are aiming for children to be secure in using all the sounds from Phase 2 to Phase 5 in their reading.   One of the best ways of becoming secure in these sounds is using flashcards daily.

Please refer to the information booklet below if you would like some ideas for phonics activities. There is also a useful glossary of phonics terms. We have also included all the sounds mats for your use.

Phonics and Reading Websites

Please log in to our reading scheme called Bug Club. The website is: www.activelearnprimary.co.uk 

The scheme has a comprehensive collection of high quality reading books for the children to read at home. In your child’s reading record, there is a login in and password so your child can access this resource at home. If you have any issues with your child’s login and/or password, please speak to your child’s teacher.

There are lots of useful websites with phonics information and games. Here are a range of different ones you could use at home:

DfE letters and sounds home learning lessons - daily lessons on YouTube

The Letters and Sounds website has lots of information, resources and games linked to each of the phonics phases.

Oxford Owl has a whole selection of free eBooks, some with linked activities. These are banded according to age group.

We like Mr Thorne does Phonics.  This is a link to his YouTube channel so be aware there may be adverts/videos may auto play.

Phonics Play has a selection of free and fun resources you can use at home with your child. It also gives you the option to create your own account on the website however this will need to be paid for. 

To access daily lessons that makes phonics learning easier please watch videos and read flashcards on Monster Phonics: https://monsterphonics.com/home-learning-in-the-covid-19-lockdown/year-1-home-learning/

Another fabulous link  to aid your phonics learning: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDFqXo8hEdBH7WarYB9Xw7xQK-LUC8r3h

Have fun with phonics!
