Spelling Tasks
We are no longer sending out weekly spelling lists. Spelling is practised in class and we are focusing on rules. The list above practises the common words needed for children in years 5 and 6.
If you would like to practise further activities with your child, Spelling Frame has some good activities and worksheets for practice. The link to the free website is below:

Homework Tasks
Term 4/5 - Survival of the Fittest
Homework tasks will consist of weekly maths, reading from the class library and own books, spelling practice and online maths. As the year progresses, there will be SPAG tasks and reading comprehension sheets sent home.
Additional homework can be carried out on the topic such as Planet Earth. This is optional. We use some of the optional homework on our displays if children wish to bring this in.
