Homework Information:
Spellings
Your child will be given a list of spellings to practise each week. We will complete spelling activities in class each day to help your child practise their spellings and spelling rules.
In addition to this, your child can practise their spellings online on Spelling Shed. The spellings will be added to Spelling Shed each week. Please encourage your child to practise their spellings at home. The weekly spelling test will take place every Monday morning. Accurate spelling is an important part of the process of your child learning to write and so children MUST practise each week.
