Home Learning
Reading, times tables, real life maths and vocabulary-building are all excellent ways to help your child learn and make progress at home. The home learning expectation in year 1/2 is that the children do the following learning at home
- Daily reading (suggested time 10 minutes)
- Read to your child daily (suggested time 10 minutes)
- Daily maths fluency and arithmetic (suggested time 5 minutes). Further guidance on maths home learning will be available on Seesaw
You can also check out the school website maths and English pages for lots of other exciting things to do at home.
Additional maths materials
Please look at the maths pages on the school website for more ideas.
The number bonds, doubles and halves games on 'Hit the Button' are also great for improving fluency.
