A phonics book will be sent home every Friday (your child will have read this in school so they can celebrate their success with you). This must be returned the following Tuesday to enable us to send the book home with a different group. A reading for pleasure book will be sent home every Tuesday - this is a book to be shared. Please make sure this book is returned on Tuesdays.
Little Wandle (our phonics programme) has lots of useful videos and resources for parents on the following website:

Maths:
We start the year with a focus on Place value.
Y1:
Numbers to 10: counting on and back; comparing quantities; comparing numbers and filling in missing numbers on a number line.
We then move on to addition and subtraction within 10.
Y2:
Numbers to 100: counting on and back, recognising tens and ones; partitioning a 2-digit number; counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s
We then move on to addition and subtraction
Topic:
We start our Topic in Y1 and Y2 with a Geography themed project around our local area and how we can look after our school and local environment. This is based on the the text Tidy by Emily Gravett.
Please come and talk to your child's class teacher if you need any further information.
