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.
Reading
Children will read for 20 mins daily so must bring reading books into school each day. Upon completion of their book, your child will complete a quiz on Accelerated Reader. Children are also strongly encouraged to read regularly at home.
Mental Maths
Children will also be given maths homework each week in preparation for our mental maths quizzes. The mental maths quiz takes place on a Friday morning.
