We will:

• select interesting and appropriate verbs for my sentences

Reading - Remember that they do not need to read the entire book in one day. Please continue to hear them read daily and write it in their reading record books.

Spelling by phoneme:

In class, we focus on a different phoneme each week. The phoneme and its corresponding graphemes will be introduced on the Monday with different activities running until the Friday. This gives them the week to practice the spellings with you at home or on Edshed. Their understanding will then be checked by writing a dictated sentence.

This week (from 1.12.25), we will focus on the phoneme /aw/ as the graphemes aw in saw and or in for

 (28.11.25) Your child brought home some more homework. For the reading part - please only complete the reading and questions about the dinosaur. Do not do the other two parts as these are the following weeks,

Your child came home with some focus spelling words stuck to their top/jumper. Please practice these with them over the weekend and all week.

 

Remember to write that you have heard your child read and inform us when they are ready for the quiz.

 

 

If your child wears earrings,  please can these be removed or taped before school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to prevent the risk of them being caught during PE.

As the weather continues to be varied, please ensure that you send your child in with a coat and warm PE clothes (tracksuit bottoms and jumper/hoodie) as both our PE lessons are outside activities.
