I hope everyone had a lovely October break- I\u2019ve enjoyed reading the children\u2019s news today. (Most) PE kits came home over the holidays for washing\/checking.\u00a0\u00a0If they could be returned for P.E tomorrow that would be great.<\/p>\n
A reminder that homework folders should be available in school each day so that children may access their reading books and letters issued can be stored safely.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Homework tasks this week:<\/p>\n
Reading<\/strong>– core reader (reading book);<\/p>\n Spelling<\/strong>– spelling pattern oo<\/em>– and common words (me, we, be, she)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please encourage your child to:<\/p>\n Say the word\u00a0\u00a0 e.g. look<\/p>\n Break it into the sounds e.g. l-oo-k(3 sounds)<\/p>\n Blend it- l..oo..k.(stretching out each sound)<\/p>\n Write it (whilst covering the word)<\/p>\n Check it (against the written format)<\/p>\n If possible tackle one column of spelling on 2 different nights. An active spelling grid is in the front cover of the literacy homework jotter. You should pick one to try on a third night.<\/p>\n There will be a spelling dictation on Friday this week.<\/p>\n Maths-<\/strong>Numbers to 20.<\/p>\n The children have a practical task. Many children will benefit from repeated practice of some of the tasks over the next couple of weeks, in order to develop confidence and make their learning secure.<\/p>\n A list of different tasks with some ideas on how to make it easier or more challenging for your child has been given. Some children may require a degree of adult support to start with but this may be removed over time.\u00a0 It might not be appropriate for all children to attempt all the tasks at this stage.\u00a0 It is best to keep sessions short and revisit rather than overdo it on one occasion.<\/p>\n Aspects suggested include:<\/p>\n Thanks for your support with homework.<\/p>\n Ms Crawford<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I hope everyone had a lovely October break- I\u2019ve enjoyed reading the children\u2019s news today.
