In  Year 1, children are expected to read at home every night in order to develop their fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. All children have a homework diary in which they should record which page of their book they are up to.

After half term,in addition to this, children receive a page of Maths homework per week. This goes home on a Thursday and must be back in school the following Monday.
