Homework:
Spellings - your child will have a set of spellings to learn each week. In the homework book, please work with your child to write each word in a sentence. Underline the spelling word in the sentence. Please use PENCIL.
Spelling books should be brought in on a FRIDAY so we can do the spell check in the back. This enables you to see how your child did in the spell check so you can help further at home
Maths - your child may be given a workbook for the weekend to practise what we are learning in Maths. This may not be every weekend. This does not have to be returned to school.
Please use NUMBOTS for additional activities should you wish to use them. MyMaths is no longer being used for homework.
