Home Learning Holland Class
Dear Parents and Carers of Year 1,
Firstly, may I just say thank you to everyone for your understanding and support in this very unusual and difficult time.
We will try to make sure that your children have access to materials to help with learning at home via this page.
Home Learning books went home yesterday with 3 new writing and number tasks for the children to have a go at.
We also, with help, have managed to change reading books and have sent home 2 new reading books along with a book of your child’s choice from our class reading corner.
Please be sure to hear your child read their books every day for a minimum of 10 minutes.
In the back of the Home Learning book are details of how to access the MyMaths website which I will update regularly with regular online lessons and links to external websites.
I will be making house visits on Monday to deliver Home Learning books to children who have not yet received them yet.
Please keep checking this page weekly for any updates regarding home learning.
I very much appreciate your patience and understanding in such trying circumstances.
Be safe, and please feel free to email me at year1@ferringceschool.co.uk where I will be more than happy to reply to any individual concerns that you might have.
Kindest regards,
Mr Swindells

Printable Resources
A number of parents have requested printable resources for the children to access at home. Please see the link to the Twinkl page below.
Oxford Owl - Read Write Inc - Phonics
The children can access all of their phonics sounds via the Oxford Owl website. This is all based upon the scheme that the children follow at school. We would recommend that the children practice their sounds for 15 minutes a day. To help the children there are sound links to follow for each set of phonemes and graphemes.

Online books to follow the scheme can be accessed by following the link below.

The children can catch up with the number crew and set sail again with Bradley and his animal friends by following the link below and using the ‘Video’ button. Please beware... the children sing the songs and might use the catch phrases... “oh no, it’s all going wrong!”
