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.
