Home Learning in Grade 1 -

In Grade 1, the children will receive their Home Learning on Monday and need to return it on the following Monday. Each week we will place the home learning here on the blog and also provide the children with a printed copy of what has been set for the week in their home learning book. They will also receive their Norwegian home learning on Monday and this too needs to be returned the following Monday.

In addition to this, the children will have a Phonics and Key Word book. This book will have the sounds and words that we have taught in Phonics over the week stuck inside. We ask that this book is brought into school on a Wednesday and we will return it to you on Friday. Can you please practice the sounds and key words with your children as this will help them with their development in reading and writing.

Please make sure that you are also regularly reading with your child and talking with them about their learning at school.

Thank you,
Miss Angie and Mr Brent
