Spelling
Below are the common exception words and high frequency words for Year 1.
Common exception words = words that cannot be decoded using phonics.
High frequency words = words that are frequently used in books (some are decodable, some are not).
Possible task: practise reading and writing the words!
Maths
Multiplication and Division.
This half term we will be exploring how to count forwards and backwards in 2s,5s,10s. Children will then focus on counting equal groups of 2, 5, and 10 and
explore this within 50. They will move on to identifying and recording
the number sentence to match the groups. Then we will learn to add equal groups and to arrange objects in columns and
rows as arrays.
