Below are the homework expectations for children in EYFS and Year One.
Please follow the links for suggestions of games and activities that you can do to help your child at home.
Learning to read book
Please attend the regular phonics and early reading sessions for families as these really help you to understand how we teach reading in school.

Reading for pleasure
Families are asked to read to their child every day, reading record books help to record reading adventures at home. Children choose from a selection of reading for pleasure books to take home which are changed weekly by the children.
