Home learning will be posted on the class home learning page on a Friday and should be returned to school by the following Thursday. Home learning books will be used on alternate weeks and should be returned to school on Thursdays. We will be using Purple Mash or other internet sites for learning on the alternate weeks. Again work completed on Purple Mash etc should be submitted for marking by the following Thursday please.
This week we have sent home our new home learning books (blue book). Please could you cover these to reflect your own personality. You might want to use wrapping paper, photos, pictures, sticky-backed plastic etc. It’s your choice, please make it personal to you. Please make sure that you label the book clearly with your name and class too.
Please could you also cover your reading record book (thin green book). This should be returned to school each day with your reading book so that we can continue to read and quiz in school on a daily basis.
Reading
Please make sure that you read at home every day.
As the children become more independent with their reading they may want to read independently rather than reading to you every night but please do try spend some time discussing their reading books and listening to your child at different times during the week. (You may wish to make a comment in their green books..) It is also good to share the reading of a book at times and also to be read to at times as well. Being able to read and understand independently really is a gift - it opens up so many opportunities and takes you on journeys to such exciting places - and all in the comfort of your own home! (Such a plus in these continuing strange times!!!)
Spellings
Please learn the spellings below ready for a spelling quiz in class next Thursday. We have provided a copy of different fun ways to learn your spellings, which the children have stuck into their home learning books. Please select activities from this sheet to help your child to learn their spellings.
The children should be able to write the spelling independently - this will need to be written clearly and correctly during the spelling quiz.
This week our spellings are all homophones. They sound the same but they mean different things and they have different spellings. Please make sure that you learn the meaning of each of these words and be able to use them in context. Thank you.
there their they’re
knight night
quite quiet
(these last 2 are near homophones but watch out for the spelling!!!)
Challenge
Can you write each of these spellings in a sentence making sure that you use the correct homophone in each sentence?
