Class Dojo
We use Dojo to share learning, both in school and at home. We love seeing what the children get up to outside of school, as well as their home learning activities, so don't forget to upload your photos to their portfolio!
Home Learning
In Year 1, our home learning expectations are:
- - Daily reading of your child's phonics reading book. Regular reading practice at home helps build confidence, develop comprehension skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading. We encourage parents and carers to read with their child every day and talk about the story to support understanding and enjoyment.
- - Weekly spelling practice, to help reinforce spelling patterns and vocabulary.
- - Regular practice of key number facts, including number bonds.
