Today we were scrutinising the application forms for jobs in the Festive Forest Factory. We were checking whether the applicants had written enough relevant information on their form for the job that they had applied for.

This morning we were surprised to find that Snowy Owl was guarding a card and gift for us! Mrs Keith had sent us a Thank You card for giving her lots of good ideas yesterday, and there were also some Christmas tree lights to help our forest look festive!

Homework from 2/12/19

Everyone has their Festive Grid and any other sheets. Please have fun and let me know if you need any resources.

Practise the words on your spelling wall and make sure that you can confidently use all spelling patterns and the correct phonic sounds.

Practise spelling using different activities, e.g. rainbow writing, spelling backwards, making chains, etc.
