Weekly Priorities

Spelling:

At the start of the week your child will bring home 10 spelling words to learn, which they will copy into their 3B1 notebook. These words are based on word patterns and rules that we learn about in class. Please support your child to learn these words at home and find out the definition of any words they are unfamiliar with. Below is the NZCER Essential Words list that all students should know by the end of the year.

Basic Facts:

Students are given a sheet of basic facts questions every Monday to practice at home. When they are able to answer 47/50 questions correctly in our Friday test, they move on to the next sheet. Some students will have the same sheet for more than one week as they develop their maths skills.

Sheets are levelled at Stage 4, 5, 6 or 7. The prototec website can also be used to support this learning.
