Spelling and Homework.
We are keen enable the children to continue their learning at home in 4 different ways:
1) Pick and mix homework - the new grid for after half term is below. We have three hand in dates before Christmas. Some of the options are short and some are much longer.
2) Spellings - we will continue to have a spelling test each week on a Friday. The spelling words are all on a theme which we look at together in class. They get harder through the list. If it seems tricky then please concentrate on spellings 1-5. The children get some marks for getting the focus of the words correct. Eg 1/2 a mark for 'ture' even if the rest of 'signature' isn't correct.
3) Reading records - please hand in reading records every Monday.
4) Mathletics - we have a school subscription to mathletics. All year 5 children have activities for them which will complement their learning in school.
Spelling words and test dates
We will have a lesson on these the week before the test, looking at the theme for the words.
