Hello everyone! Today we have issued our first Literacy homework tasks. Within the homework packs you should find the following:

A grid detailing fun literacy activities to practise at home.
A blank word search sheet.
A blank graffiti wall sheet.
A homework diary.
A spelling list detailing this week’s words.
A ‘word attacks’ bookmark to assist with home tasks.

I’m aware that things have the potential to be lost in transit, and so if you require any replacement resources, please do let me know! In the homework diaries, you will find a short explanation of how the homework pack can be used at home.

There is no expectation that these tasks should all be completed and returned; they are very much meant as a way to ease us back into practicing at home. If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Happy practising!

Mr. Beattie
