Year 1 Spellings
This week we have learned some tricky word spellings and learned about split digraphs,
u_e, ire, are
(We do call these 'split diagraphs' with the children, and NOT 'Magic e,' although it is the same thing!)
Please practise these spellings at home every day. There are some ideas for spelling activities and games included in your child's home learning folder. (Please note, some spellings are revision ones from previous weeks).
SPELLINGS: Test on Monday 9th November

Year 1 Maths
By Wednesday each week your child will be bringing home their home learning booklet. This will have a Maths activity based on what we are doing in class. Sometimes their home learning will be a practical activity that is posted on Tapestry, so please make sure you check on Tapestry weekly.
When home learning booklets are used, they will be due in on MONDAY so the new sheets can be added and we can share what you have been doing at home.

Spelling Test on Monday 14th December
This week we are learning when to use oi / oy, and when to use er / ur in words.
We have also been revising qu as sometimes we have been mixing it up with the letter p in reading and writing!
General rule: use oi in the middle of words, and oy at the end.
use ur in the middle of (longer) words, and er at the end.
(There are always exceptions to the rule, and lots of little sub-rules! We are learning the Best-Guess strategy to help us when we are spelling words independently).
- quick
- quest
- burn
- helper
- curl
- faster
- toy
- boing
- soil
- boy
Reception Sound Passports
Each week your child will bring home their Sound Passports with sounds and key words they have been learning. Please revise these with your children and make sure they are returned to school every MONDAY ready for the next week's sounds to be added.
As well as learning to recognise and read the letters and digraphs/trigraphs, it is also an important focus on letter formation.
There will be times when it is necessary to pause and revisit some sounds, so please don't worry if there are some weeks when new sounds have not been added.
