Homework for both Year 1 and 2 will consist of: 

  • Spelling practice - Please learn to spell and read the weekly spellings at home. Spellings follow the Monster Phonics Scheme and we learn the sounds in class each week. Spelling tests will be on Mondays and scores will be written in children's spelling books.

  • Reading – Reading at home is extremely important for children’s fluency, comprehension and love of reading. Please read at least five times and week and record it in children’s reading diaries. Books will be changed at least twice weekly when diaries have been signed to say that children have read. Children who have read 5 times a week will receive a house token to put towards their house's points.
