Home Learning
The homework expectations have been updated for this term and can be found at the bottom of this webpage.
English: 20 minutes daily reading. When you have finished your book, please complete one of the Blooms questions at the back of your Reading Record. Use the example to help you structure your response. We are having a big push on reading this term. Please make sure your child is reading regularly. We expect them to be reading over 100 pages a week at minimum.
Spelling: 5-10 minutes daily on Spelling Shed.
The children have a weekly assignment on Spelling Shed to practise the spelling patterns linked to our learning. We have discussed the best way to practise these spellings and the children have been encouraged to do short daily sessions rather than 30 minutes once a week. I will be monitoring those who are playing the spelling games and will award house points for accuracy and effort.
Maths: Please complete Section 3 Test 1 from your booklet. Don't forget to mark and record your scores in class on the new record sheet.

Ask your child: How does Cameron’s illness affect his view of life and his relationships with his family and friends?
