Reading Cloud Fun

Today we were having a go at exploring the Reading Cloud. The Reading Cloud is a social media style platform for children in our school to communicate with one another about books Andy reading that they are enjoying both at school and at home. Today we were creating our biography and and avatar. We also really enjoyed the chat feature once we added one another as friends!!!!

Homework wb 29.04.2019

Literacy Homework 

Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words. We have used many different activities in class and for homework over the last two terms, so children should be familiar with activities to use. If they are unsure, they can choose from this list:

  • Blue Vowels
  • Vowel Circle
  • Rainbow Write
  • Elkonin Boxes
  • Diacritical Marking

Or look back on previous homework posts, ask in class or use
