Year 1 Homework- Summer Term - 2017
These are your child’s homework activities for this term. All the activities are linked to the work your child is doing in school. Activities may be linked to their topic
or a specific curriculum subject. Some activities may encompass a wide range of skills and involve children drawing on a number of subject specific skills to complete
an activity. Some activities may be independent, whereas others may include working together to produce, make or solve something. We would like children to build up
12 points throughout the term, selecting the activities, which they are interested in and want to achieve. Please remember that tasks can be done to suit your
circumstances week to week, which may be a little each week or more one week and less another thus allowing greater flexibility to work on home learning in an ever
busy world. When your child has completed a task please highlight on the sheet and date, (older children may want to take greater charge of this themselves). The
homework needs to be handed into school on Thursday 13th July. The celebration afternoon is on Friday 14th July at 2.30pm.
The Year 1 topic this term is “Carnival of the Animals”.
