Our homework this will be slightly different than on previous weeks. The children will have an I spy sheet where they are took look around their home, or wherever suits, to find things containing the phonemes that we have worked on since the start of term. Please encourage them to use their knowledge of their phonics to spell the words that they write.

For numeracy this week I would like the children to search around their home for places that they find numbers. I have given them a sheet to fill in and have asked for 5 different things, although I am sure many of the children will find a great deal more than this!

We will go over our new reading books in class tomorrow ready for the children to complete thereafter. Books for this week will be:

Book Bandits – My Holiday

Page Pirates – Zip and Zap and the Thing

Word Wizards – The Quiz went Fizz

Sound Stars – Tin Man Tim

Also, just a wee reminder that we are off school next week with the children returning on Tuesday 19th October.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a restful September weekend. Our class was back and busy as always today, I don’t think we stopped all day so you may have some tired children tonight.

Homework this week will be a little different to allow our class the opportunity to reorganise our reading groups. In class we have been working on writing sentences which fits in with the whole school focus on writing. Today we were concentrating on writing sentences that make sense and that is the homework they will have for this week. On Bug Club, I have assigned all of the class a game called Making Sentences. I have also assigned the Book Bandits a game called Putting Sentences Together.

If anyone has any issue accessing Bug Club at home please let me know and I will support your child with this in school.

Good afternoon everyone,

Our homework for this week is spelling practice and bug club reading. This week we are revising the phonemes th and ng as well as revising some of our common words. To help the children with this I have attached a grid from which they can choose two or three activities to complete for their words.

Active Spelling Homework

If I could suggest that the children in the Word Wizards and Sound Stars complete all of the common words and the first three words from each of the phoneme lists. However, if your child wishes to practice more words than that then please encourage them. The children in the Book Bandits and the Page Pirates should try to practice all of the words. The class know which groups they are in but if there are any issue please get in touch.

Additionally, the children have all been assigned a new bug club reading book which we have gone over today in class. Hopefully this will be hassle free for everyone this week after one groups book being removed from the system last week after I had assigned it to them!

Thank you

Mrs MacNee
