Lexden Primary School

Welcome to Year 1! This page will be updated with photos of what we have been up to, with homework and remote learning.

Spelling shed homework will be set on Tuesday. Your child will have both log ins in the back of their reading record. Please speak to Mrs Brooks if there are any problems.

Occasionally the children will be sent home maths homework.

Please read as often as you can with your child, this will have a huge impact on their learning. They only need to read a couple of pages each night.

Weekly news:

Tuesday and Thursday: PE days

Books will be changed once during the week and on a Friday. It is best for the children to read a book 2-3 times to build up a range of skills.

Library books will be changed on a Friday only if their library book has been brought back in. (Everyone will receive a library book the first week back)
