Monday Reception Class
Over the next two terms your child will be focusing on spelling High
Frequency Words (HFW) in addition to CVC words. HFW are words that
are found frequently in the English Language, but are tricky in the sense
that they cannot always be “sounded out.”
For homework each week, please complete the activities in your child’s
bag.
This is subject to change. Any changes will be posted on the website.
Please take this out of your child’s bag and keep it at home.
