Homework and Spellings...
Each Friday one of the following activities will be set online: MyMaths, TTRS or Spag.
Alongside the online activity homework will consist of the following:
- Reading (school diary signed 3 times for a merit)
- Times tables to learn and practice
- Spelling List
Spelling lists of 10 spellings, following a set rule, will be given out each week. Each list will be given out and placed in reading diaries to learnt by the following week (tested on a Friday). One way of learning the spelling can be using their Spelling Shed account.
Most of the lists, aside from when we cover the Year 3 and Year 4 statutory word lists, have an extra "super speller" challenge to think of three extra words that follow the same given rule to learn. If the children can spell the extra words correctly in their spelling test they can gain a merit!
