Homework will be sent home each Friday. We will send through the sounds that we have been learning for the week. If you get the opportunity to practice some words that include this sound it will support your child's phonic learning. You could make this active by using shaving foam in the bath, chalk in the garden, playdough. We will expect the children to log onto Numbots to complete some Maths fluency practice. Daily reading is also a very important part in your child’s learning journey. This can be reading their school reading book and/or enjoying a reading for pleasure book of their choice.

KS1 - Optional extra home-learning tasks

1) Decorate and bake biscuits using shape patterns. If your up for a challenge, write some instructions to tell somebody how you made them (you could even add pictures).

2) Make a donation to a local food bank and write or record a news report explaining why we do this at harvest time.

3) When you visit a shop use some coinage to pay for an item. Talk about the coins that you have used and what their value is.

4) Go on a scavenger hunt in an outside area. Collect a variety of natural objects. Talk about their texture and appearance. Sort them into different categories and explain how you have sorted them. Are there different ways that they can be sorted?

5) Go on a local walk/bike ride and talk about the surroundings. Can you name the features around you (hill, tree, car park, castle etc.)? Are they human (man-made) or physical (occur naturally)?

6) Think Eco! Re-use some recycling to construct your own junk-model creation. You could make a house, an animal or use your imagination to create something new.
