Good afternoon everyone! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. and have been enjoying the glorious sunshine. This coming week will see us get back to our normal timetable now that our Rookie Rockstars concerts are over.
Here is your homework for this week. As the sun is due to keep shining I have changed our homework format for this week. Please read all areas to ensure you know what has to be completed.
Spelling: Spelling will be completed in class this week therefore there is no written homework.
Reading: Your core reader was issued last Thursday. Once again, there will be no written homework as we will continue to complete our comprehension tasks for the core readers in class. As always, if there is any vocabulary you are unsure of, please take a note of it and we will discuss it in class on Thursday. Please remember to read aloud to someone at home and try to use expression where needed. Your reading feedback form should be completed (if possible) by the person hearing you read aloud. This task should be completed for Thursday.
Personal Reading Challenge: You have 7 weeks to reach the target you set last week. Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during our ERIC sessions.
As there is very little written homework this week (and because hopefully the sun will keep shining) I would like you to increase your personal reading. Please take your book outside (or somewhere different) and read for at least an extra 15 minutes each night. Please ask someone at home to sign your diary to confirm you have done this.
Please remember to record the books in your reading passport as you finish them. The passport is kept in class. Remember this is your record of the number of books you have read so far this term.
H&WB/Writing: As we are having such lovely weather at the moment, your homework is to go outside and play! I would like you to then choose one day from this week and write a short (no more than 50 words) diary extract telling me what you did on that day. Please remember to include the relevant features we have been using in class, eg. time connectives, emotive language. This will make your writing more interesting. You should then post your diary extract on the blog and I will publish them all at the end of the week. Please remember to check you have used your capital letters and punctuation correctly. If you are unable to post on the blog, please complete a paper copy. This task should be completed by Friday.
Maths: There is no written maths homework this week.
If you wish additional practice of your multiplication tables, please use the links below.
- P.E. is on Tuesday and Friday . Please ensure you have a full kit with you in school. We may go outside for P.E. this week (weather permitting) therefore you should have suitable outdoor clothing with you: a jumper or waterproof jacket.
- We have our next library visit on Tuesday. Please bring your library card and any books you may have taken out during our last visit so we can return them.
- Please remember, if you haven’t already ordered it, you can buy the Rookie Rockstar CD from the school at a cost of £5.00.
- Our Fairtrade Tuckshop is on every Wednesday. Please remember to check our rota to see if you are in charge of the tuckshop this week. If you wish to buy something, please remember to bring the exact money to school. Details of prices can be found here.
- Each group will require 3 plastic bottles for an activity we will be completing in class in a few weeks. The bottles should be 1.75l in size. Please start bringing these in as soon as possible.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. See you all tomorrow.
Mrs O’Neill
