Homework for Week beginning 9th March

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:

peg, men, neck, up, mum, run Please complete cvc sheet and return to school on Friday.

Words for the Green Group:

boil, spoil, coin, moist, toilet, join, their, some, them, last

Words for the Red Group:

knock, know, knee, knight, kneel, knew, under, were, thing

Words for the Yellow Group:

Same as the Red Group.  In addition, think of two words of your own which have the “kn” phoneme.  Write them down on both post-its given out in school 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).
