Primary 5 Spelling and Topic Homework

4 Comments

Week beginning 31st August 2015.

Spelling

Roald Dahl- spelling words have been glued into your jotters. Choose 5 words to use for rainbow spelling and the other five words to write in sentences.

Robert Burns, William Shakespeare and J.K. Rowling your spelling words are the ones with the phoneme ‘k’:

cashew, call, kidney, kilometre, keep, hammock, crackle, flock, chemist and echo.

All children should choose five spelling words for pyramid spelling and write the other five spelling words in a sentence.

Topic

As an ongoing task for the next four weeks, children should choose an area of the 1970’s to research and create a poster. For example, children could choose to research what fashion was like in the 1970’s. They can then present their information on a poster with pictures/drawings. Children have been learning ways we can research and find information and so can continue to develop these skills at home. Children can take notes in their homework jotter and use these to create a poster.

A homework letter and communication book will be given out to children soon.

Thank you,

Primary 5 Homework

Week beginning 31st August 2015

All Primary 5 children were given a small blue jotter to complete their homework in today in class. I have discussed with children how they should present their homework in their jotters. I will post homework on the blog on a Monday and could I please have all homework handed in to the homework tray by Friday.

Spelling and topic homework will be posted tomorrow.

If you have any questions please leave a comment on the blog or in your child’s homework jotter.

Thank you,

Miss Gillespie
