Welcome to Room 5’s Homework Blog.
This week Spelling, Reading and Numeracy homework has been issued.
Spelling
Please try to practise cvc words/phoneme words/common words each night using a multi-sensory activity in preparation for a quiz in class on a Friday. Multi-sensory ideas could include: making the words using play dough, painting the words, writing the words in a sand tray or on a whiteboard/chalkboard, as well as, writing the words on a computer then changing the font/size, writing the words using fancy letters or with eyes shut. The words could even be written using the hand not normally used for writing. Can you think of any new multi-sensory activities to try? These jobs do not have to be returned to school.
Words for the Blue Group:
pin, sat, tin, tan, nap, man Complete cvc worksheet and return to school on Friday.
Words for the Green Group:
day, tray, play, stay, prayer, way, away, always, today
Words for the Red Group:
these, here, eve, complete, Steve, father, head, mother, jump
Words for the Yellow Group:
Same as the Red Group. In addition, think of two additional words which have the “e-e” phoneme. Write them down on both post-its given out in class on Monday. Are the words spelled correctly? Keep one post-it at home and bring the other into school to allow practice to be done in class too.
Challenge Activity – Try writing a sentence for each word. Remember to use V.C.O.P. (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation).

Additional Information
Thank you for all your support in helping us get our “Book Swap” idea up and running. Your help is very much appreciated. The children have all really enjoyed swapping books and getting “new” ones to read!
The children will be cooking again as part of the activities planned for Scots Week. Please see letter issued on Friday. We look forward to seeing you if you are able to pop in and sample our delicious soup.
