Compulsory Homework
Reading
A fantastic week of reading with the class reading over 600,000 just this week, taking our total to just under a million. With many children still needing to quiz- we can definitely hit our target.
Times Tables
Lots of TTRS to make sure we are super sharp and speedy on our times tables- these will come in handy this year. The children’s TTRS logins have been stuck on the inside of their homework books.
Spellings
Our spellings have changed slightly in that we are aiming to achieve more retrieval across our spellings. The children have been given a spellings practice sheet, which is to be completed as evidence of practice. Each child has also been given two spelling test sheets to practice over the week in order to identify which words require more focus.
