Home Learning
Home Learning is explained and given out
each Thursday and is due back the
following Tuesday. Home Learning is stuck
into their English and Maths Home Learning
books and put into their trays. It is vital that
Home Learning is completed each week
and returned promptly. Home Learning
supports and consolidates what is being
taught in class.
If your child has struggled with Home
Learning tasks set, please do not hesitate
to let the Class Teacher know. Also, we
have a Home work club on a Thursday
where the children can be supported to
complete their Home Learning.
Year 1 Curriculum

Londons Burning.
Science: Materials

Topic: The Great Fire of London
Art/ D&T: Making bread
Reminders
Please make sure your child has a water
bottle in school.
Also, due to some children having nut
allergies, please make sure there are no
nuts in your childs lunchbox..
Reading
Your child has been given a reading book
and a reading record book. Please ensure
that your child brings both into school
every day. Your child is responsible for
changing their reading book when
needed as we are encouraging their
independence. We will record when we
have heard them read and we ask parents
to do the same. We strongly encourage
you to hear your child read on a daily
basis, this makes such a difference to their
speed of progress in reading.
PE
In Year 1 the children will have their PE
lesson on a Friday afternoon. Please ensure
your child has their PE kit and that each
item of clothing is clearly labelled.
Help from Parents/Carers
At Iver Village Infant School we really
appreciate any free time you may have to
help in school, whether it is hearing
children read or using your arty skills to help
with displays. We would really appreciate
your help. Please let your Class Teacher
know.
