Homework 7th February

Homework Newsletter Name _____________________
Monday 5th February

As from next week our weekly newsletter will be published on our blog and paper copies will only be given to those who do not have access to the blog at home. It is my hope that children will quickly become the authors of this newsletter and that it will reflect some of the work undertaken in the classroom.

Drink Bottles The children all need to have a drink bottle at school. These should be names and can be stored in schoolbags or on the cloakroom shelf.

Library Our library sessions will be on Wednesday so please check that books are packed for returning each Wednesday.

Homework

Homework books are to be returned to school on Fridays for marking.

Reading The children are expected to read independently each night and to share this reading with you, then to record this reading on a simple table. Most weeks the children will be given a journal for reading, this journal must be returned to school on a daily basis. (Some children will be given the responsibility of selecting their own recreational readers.)
Please bring a favourite personal reader to school tomorrow-Tuesday.

Maths We will learn all the tables on a two week rotation. The children will be pretested at school and a post-test will be held every Friday. The children who gain the max score and are the biggest improvers will have their names published in our weekly newsletter.
We are all relearning the +2 tables this week.

Spelling
This week the children are to fill the first few pages of their spelling notebook with family names….addresses, holiday place names etc . (Please check that these have been correctly spelt.)


A class/parent contact list often proves useful for parents and children from within the class, if you wish to have your name, email address and phone number circulated to our Room 21 parental group please forward your details and I will circulate them to you.
