Starting this week all the children will be bringing home their spelling notebook with five words to practise at home each week. These words will be tested the following Friday. Please ensure that spelling notebooks are returned EVERY Friday so they can receive their words for the following week.
Feel free to make use of the spelling notebook to write in when practising, or there is also a list of other ways to learn spelling words in the front of the notebook. It doesn't have to be written, it could be orally, in the sandpit, with chalk on the footpath, typed on a computer etc. Find what your child enjoys.
A reminder that children should also have a reading book or a poem every night of the week as well as library books to share and enjoy together over the weekend.
There are also links to maths and literacy games on the blog (on the right hand side) where the children can have some fun playing activities that relate to their class learning. Maths concepts are best learnt in everyday contexts - when you start looking at what you do in a day, you'd be surprised how much maths you can find. It could be setting the table, adding car number plates, telling the time, baking and using fractions, measuring, different shapes, numbers and maths concepts in library books...
