Year 1 Home Learning Monday 1st June – Friday 5th June

Dear Children, Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Term 6! We hope you had a wonderful half term and are ready to start another term of home

learning. We have been so impressed with all of your home learning so far and look forward to seeing everything

you are going to do over the next few weeks. Remember to keep emailing or dropping things at the office. We

love to see your home learning and to hear about the other amazing things that you have been doing.

Please see below for this week’s home learning activities. We recommend that you complete some Reading,

Writing and Maths activities each week but you are free to choose as many of the additional activities as you

wish. Please do not feel that you have to print any of the home learning that we are setting.

Transition

Can you believe that this is your final term as a Year 1? This year has flown by and although it hasn’t gone

exactly how we expected it to we really hope that you have enjoyed Year 1. Every week we are going to set you

a transition challenge to help start to prepare you for Year 2.

Mrs Lewer has set this week’s challenge. She would really like to know your thoughts about what it is like to go

to school at Ditton Infants. You could draw or write a sentence about your favourite things at school. Send your

ideas to your teacher and then they will put them all together and send them to Mrs Lewer. Mrs Lewer is then

going to share your thoughts with the children who are going to be starting Reception in September.
