Homework week beginning 25.09.24
- Reading
- Spelling
We will go over homework on Monday.
In spelling each week children will learn a new spelling pattern. As a group they will create a list of words which fit their spelling pattern. They will share their spelling list and pattern at home this week.
Task – Learn your spelling words in any way you wish ready to revisit in class on Monday. Some examples of fun ways to learn your words are listed below. Once you have learned your words pick 3 words and write a sentence for each. Remember we are focusing on making sure we are using full stops and capital letters.
Ideas –
Be a Teacher – Ask someone to write your spelling words out making one or two mistakes. Be a teacher and mark the spellings, correcting any mistakes.
Vowels and consonants – Rewrite each of your spelling words using a blue pen for the vowels and a red pen for the consonants (you can use any colours you have at home).
Pyramid Spelling – as demonstrated in class.
Rainbow Spelling – Rewrite each of your spelling words using a different colour for each letter in the word (demonstrated in class).
Graffiti Spelling – Use chalk to write your spelling words on a pavement or wall. Remember to ask permission first. Alternatively write your spelling words in bubble writing using lots of colour on the lined paper provided.
