Homework
Spellings- A list of words for the half term is given out at the start of each half term. If the list has been lost, a new list can be found in the attachments below.
Reading - Children are expected to read at home at least three times per week. They can choose a book from home or can take a book from the classroom. They also have logins to the Bug Club Website where specific books will be allocated to them. When they have read these books, there are questions for them to answer regarding what they've read. Please be aware that the teachers can access the children's responses to questions to check for understanding. Children are given a day for them to change their books each week and we hope they will change them on a weekly basis.
Pleae make sure your reading diary is in school on the correct day for teachers to check.
