Your child has been provided with a spelling activities sheet. Each night, they should complete a spelling activity. This can be a combination of written and active tasks throughout the week, to ensure your child has a firm grasp of the weekly phoneme words and common words.

A spelling test and dictation will be done at the end of the week in class to ensure the children are secure before they progress

Maths
Subtraction Maths Booklet (Week 1)

The children have been given a new subtraction mental maths booklet to encourage fast recall of subtraction number facts. This can be worked on in the upcoming weeks, one page per week. (As the booklet is copied back to back, the children can hand in their completed sheet every second Friday).
