Home Learning

The children receive home learning every Wednesday. This is delivered through Seesaw, however, this can be printed if preferred. This will normally consolidate learning in a specific subject from the week and alternates between English and Maths. It is always due the following Monday. 

Children receive phonics reading books every Thursday, based on the sounds and books they have been learning that week. The book can only be changed if the children bring their reading folders in with their previous weeks' books. Each child has a reading diary which is for parents to sign off on reading and allows teachers to track reading and communicate progress. Children are expected to read every day and have their record signed 3x per week by an adult.

Children are also expected to access Numbots. This is an online programme which develops understanding of number bonds. 

Phonics Screening Check

Every child in Year 1 in England has to take the Phonics Screening Check. The child takes the test during a one-to-one sitting with a teacher in June.

The Phonics Screening Check (or Phonics Screening Test) is a test to assess and show how well your child can use and apply the phonics skills that they’ve learnt up to the end of Year 1. The Phonics Screening Check is also an additional opportunity for teachers to identify children who need help with their phonics.

During the Phonics Screening Check, children are asked to read a mixture of real words and pseudo-words (fake words). If a child doesn’t meet the expected standard, they will be given the appropriate support with their phonics and re-take the Phonics Screening Check in Year 2.
