P5H Homework and Reminders – w/b 1.5.17
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you have all had as good a weekend as I have and are ready for another busy week. Please continue reading for your homework and reminders.
Spelling: Please complete lists air, are, ear, ere or or, ing, in your spelling homework jotter for Thursday. Please write out your spelling words 3 times using SaCaWaC in the same way as we do in class. Remember that part of this process is to check and correct your spelling words. Due to this being a short week and our Rookie Rockstars concerts being held in the evening you do not have any sentences this week but please take the time to learn your words for your spelling assessment on Friday with Mrs. Livingstone.
Reading: Due to some changes to time-tabling your core readers and any associated homework will now be issued by Mrs. Livingstone.
Personal Reading Challenge: We have now re-started our Personal Reading Challenge. You now have 8 weeks left to reach (or beat!) the target you set yourselves this term . Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during ERIC time. Please keep recording the books you have completed reading this term in your Reading Passports so you can see how close you are getting to your target.
Maths: Again, due to our short week, there is no written maths homework this week however, please continue to practise your tables with someone at home or by accessing the links provided below.
