Home learning project for this half term:
The task for this half term is to make a poster about who is your hero. The poster should include a picture, three facts and an explanation as to why this person is your hero. This can be uploaded to Google classroom.
Weekly Spellings
Every Monday by 9 AM the weekly spellings will be posted on google classroom. The spellings will be reviewed in class the following week.
This will be completed in the Home / School spelling book which will be sent home weekly to enable you to see what your child wrote. We are trialing this in the Autumn term as we appreciate that a lot of work goes into helping the children with the spellings and we wanted parents to have the opportunity to know how their child wrote the words.
The book will be sent home every Tuesday and we would like you to sign on the bottom when you have looked at the score on any day that week. Please ensure the home / school spelling book is in your child’s book bag on a Monday morning.
