Homework -

• TT Rockstars times tables -  Please ensure you are complete this as we will be logging in to check.  Please complete the Gig section of the website this week. This is a 5 minute game where you have to answer up to 100 times table questions. This will help TT Rockstars to learn which times tables you need to practise more and will then give you lots of practise at these when you play the other activities on the website. 
• Reading as usual- see reading giants below.
• Re-write the paragraph in your homework book with the correct punctuation.

You will also find the logins for Times Table Rock Stars and Spelling Shed in your planners. Please do log in to these websites to practise your spellings and times tables.

Reading Giants

Please read at least 5 times and note them in your Planners. Remember, this can be reading your school reading book, reading your own books, reading a magazine/comic, listening to a story read by a grown-up, listening to a story on a device (such as a Tonie box), watching a story online/on TV (eg CBeebies Bedtime story). We are promoting a love of reading, so read what you enjoy - just remember to write it in your Planner and ask your grown-up to sign it each week. Mrs Shand will check the planners each Friday and will give you a sticker on our Reading Giants chart if you have had at least 5 reading sessions! Remember - we are working as a team to collect the most reads so if you don't read at home, your  year team won't have a chance at winning the most reads across the school.

Spellings - None

Any questions, we're always on the playground at the end of the day- please speak to us.

Mrs Jordan and Miss Cross
