Spellings:

-Spellings will be handed out at the beginning of the week. The sticker shows the rule that we are teaching. Please learn your spellings at home. You could do rainbow writing, silly sentences, pyramid writing or even create a poster to explain the spelling rule.

-We continually assess spellings through written work and dictated sentences.

Reading:

-Our assessments will inform us of which book to give to your child so that it is matched to their level of fluency and comprehension.

-We love to see children reading at home as this has a massive impact on their progress and confidence. If any reading is completed, please write a quick note in the yellow log to show us which page they are on next or whether they have finished the book

-Children are responsible for putting a finished reading book in our 'Please Change Me' box in our classrooms

-We sometimes ask children to re-read their book again to support their understanding and ability to answer questions about a text

Home Learning:

-Home learning is to be handed into the box on a Thursday so that we can have a look and send books home on Fridays

-Home learning is celebrated through children being asked to share with the class, stickers, comments and even house points
