Don’t forget to read!
It is expected that you will be reading at least 5 times a week. An
adult must sign your diary so we know you have read. Remember
to speak to someone at home about the book (or books!) you are
reading. What characters do you like? How do they react in
different situations? What does the author do to keep the reader
interested?
Spellings and times tables
We will be doing a times table quiz every Friday. The children will
be tested on their spellings every other week (22th October and 6th
November). Home work is due in Friday 6th November.
