  Helping your child in
         Year 1
Supporting Your Child at Home in Their Learning

                         Year 1
Evidence has shown that parental support is key to a
child’s progress in learning.

To help parents in their role we have produced a
pamphlet showing the methods your child will be taught
to support their learning in Addition, Subtraction,
Multiplication and Division as well as the different
sentence types your child needs to be able to write.

Should you require any further support please do not
hesitate to contact the class teacher.
Year 1 – Sentence types to be taught
•Short Descriptive Sentences

•Conjunction sentences (and, but, or, so, when, because, if, after)

•Connective sentences

•Imperative sentences

•Question sentences

its own.
However, when conjunctions
such as: although, after, if,

sentences they produce
complex sentences. A
complex sentence is created
when a main clause and a
subordinate clause are joined
by a conjunction. The main
clause makes complete
sense on its own. The
subordinate clause does not
make complete sense on its
own.
