Hello March!!

This week Spelling, Reading, Newsround and Topic homework has been issued.

Spelling: Please try to practise phonemes/words each night using any active spelling strategies in preparation for a quiz in class on Friday.

Pencils and Rubbers group (ue, aw, oi):

Consolidation week. Please recap on spelling words, including common words from the last 3 weeks.

Pens and Crayons Group (ss, ll, ff, kn, mb):

2nd Consolidation week. Please recap on spelling words, including common words from the last 5 weeks.

Do you want to challenge yourself? If so can you come up with two of your own words using the same sound? Can you spell them correctly? Can you write a sentence for each of your words? Remember to use V.C.O.P. in your work (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation).

Reading:

Kinneys: whole book (new book)
Dahls: ch 1 (new book)
Rowlings: Chapter 9

‘Newsround’: find a news story that interests you. You can either find it online, in a newspaper, on TV or radio. Then in your own words write what it is about and why you chose this story. You can the use the blank space in your jotter to draw a picture of it or even cut/print out the story and stick it in. We will then share our newsround stories every week with each other. Please remember to check with your parents that each news story you pick each week is appropriate.

Topic: As part of our topic I would like the children to develop a travel agent in the classroom whereby they can extend their learning of Egypt through play. I would be very grateful if anyone happens to have any brochures at home or if they happen to pass a travel agents and are able to collect some for us. Specifically ones for Egypt and the Middle East however we can really make anything work.

3D models are due on Monday 23rd March. See previous blog post.
