You will  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 -  

Year 3 - words where the digraph 'ch' makes a /k/ sound. You need to read the sentence and choose the correct word for each sentence. Write the word next to the sentence - these will be your spelling words.

Year 4 - words with 'c' before 'i' and 'e' You need to choose which word completes each sentence.

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

Mrs Jordan and Miss Cross
