Reading with expression

By Liam and Lily

Spelling

Each week the students have 3 words to practice and learn. These words will be in their Home Links books. The students need to write each word 3 times. Here is how they can do that, Look at the word, Say the word, Cover the word, Write the word and Check. This can be done independently. If your child has the same word 2 weeks in a row it means they have not learnt it yet. If they still don't know it by the third week it will be put down as a forth word so you know they may need more practice but we will move on to another so they don't get disheartened or bored.

You can find more exciting activities here to help your child learn their words. Fun ways to practice spelling words

Also remember to read every night! Readers, poems and books from home all count towards their reading.

If I had a super power...

Last week we wrote a short story about what super power we would like and how our morning would go if we woke up with it. We then made it into a comic strip, using detailed pictures, speech bubbles, thought bubbles and sound words, such as 'boom' and 'crash'.
