Important information
- PE lessons will still be on Mondays for swimming ( Children come in their school and but bring their swimming kits in)
- Homework is set every Wednesday and should be completed for the following Monday.
- Please send water in the childrens' bottles and a healthy snack for breaktime. Please consider carefully which snacks will help your child to succeed with their learning, preferably those which provide slow release energy through the morning.
Spelling
A spelling session is taught in school on Wednesdays, spellings sent home that day to practise and learn for the following Monday through use of ‘look-say-cover-write-check’ and/or Spelling Shed, followed by a spelling check on Mondays.
I recommend either using a ‘look-say-cover-write-check’ approach for each word a few times before Monday and/or having a go on Spelling Shed. The word lists put on Spelling Shed match the spelling patterns of this week’s words. A few shorter practices over the week are likely to be more efficient and effective than a single, longer practice session. If time permits, a brief reminder on Monday morning might help too.
The children will be expected to have practised them as part of their homework. We will have a spelling check in school on Monday (carried out sensitively so as to build confidence in test situations while minimising any worries) to allow the children to show what they’ve learnt.
If your child seems to memorise the words more effectively through either Spelling Shed or ‘look-say-cover-write-check’, they can focus on using that method in particular.
