Home Learning
Home Learning
Each Friday, activities will be shared via SeeSaw, including weekly spelling words. Students are expected to return their completed home learning by the following Friday. This can be submitted in one of three ways: directly on SeeSaw, as a physical copy, or in a home learning journal (which we can provide if preferred).
In addition, we highly recommend that students read every day at home. Daily reading builds fluency, strengthens comprehension, and nurtures a lifelong love of books.
Thank you for supporting your child in developing positive and consistent learning habits.
Spelling: Practice your words, we will have a spelling test on Friday.
Maths: Choose your spice level and complete the fraction questions, the levels increase from adding/subtracting fractions, to multiplying by a whole number, to a fraction of a whole.
Literacy: Practice grammar. We learned about repositional phrases, verb phrases and practised our capitalization. Can you apply your understanding to the sentences?
Unit of Inquiry (UOI): Our new UOI is all about How We Express Ourselves. Our home learning this week links to our writing, where we express ourselves through free verse poetry. Can you write your free verse poem using the guidelines?
