Home learning

HOME LEARNING:

Please find below a guideline for home learning this year (this information will also be on our team site).

Spelling

Your child will receive new words each week to practice and learn. These words will come from the spelling programme ‘You Can Spell’. They write their words into their spelling notebooks after a levelled pre-test, therefore they will only be learning words they get incorrect. They will be tested on these words one a week.

Maths

We encourage you to put some time aside for basic facts practise each week. There are also some great sites that you may also want to use These will be added to our team blog. Play a board game. Play IXL etc

Writing

iWrite Planning (see more information on our team blog - this will start Week 3)

Every fortnight your child will brainstorm ideas, dialogue, characters and genre around a particular prompt (phrase/picture…) these will be displayed in class and on our class site. The brainstorm that they have completed at home will guide them through their iWrite time.

Reading

Your child is expected to read for 15-20 mins each night. This could be the newspaper, comic book, picture book, chapter book, letters, maps, diagrams etc!

Climb a tree, play a sport, work on a hobby, make a cup of tea for someone, talk together as a family, play games and have fun are really important too!

We look forward to working in partnership with you throughout the coming year. If you have any questions now, or at anytime in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
