homework

__Homework__ continues to be nightly reading, learning spelling list and doing the spelling worksheet each week. Children should be bringing home a book each night or reading an appropriate chapter book they have at home. Homework books should come home on Monday night with their weekly worksheet pasted in and their list of words for the week. Every second Monday is our library day and so a library book will come home then as well as their poem instead of a reader on Mondays. Sometimes the list words may seem easy, however as part of the smartwords spelling programme a large emphasis is placed on learning features of the english language as seen in the worksheet. A weekly spelling test is held every Friday. We aim to achieve correct spelling of the essential list words within all of their writing, not just correct in spelling tests - this requires a lot of practise!
