Homework Club has ended this term, we will be back in Spring Term for further support after school. Thank you for your encouragement with attendance, it has been great seeing our numbers increase each week 🙂
Each week your child will have 6 assignments on Reading Plus to complete. These may be a mixture of visual skills, vocabulary or reading comprehension. Your child needs to be aiming for a reading speed of 185 words per minute and 80-100% accuracy rate on their reading comprehensions, the more your child uses the programme the more confident they become as a fluent reader.
This week’s spellings are lightning, guarantee, apparent, recommend, vegetable, parliament, especially, committee, soldier and curiosity. They have been placed on EdShed and are available to access. We recommend 5 minutes each day to support them with learning their unique spelling patterns. These are words the children need to be using regularly in their writing as they will be assessed against them each time they complete a piece of written work.
Your child will have access to TTRS, this week we will be checking your child’s Gig. 100 questions to complete, 1 child achieved it last month, how many will achieve it this month? Good luck! 🙂
To join the tree-mendous task, your students must submit a poem based on the theme “Festive Feelings”. They have complete creative freedom — whether they write something magical, funny or sentimental, there’s no snowing what they’ll come up with!
Poems can rhyme (or not), be free-verse or acrostic, but should be no longer than 12 lines.
