Spelling - This week I have been retesting and setting up a new classroom spelling programme. Spelling notebooks will come home next week as usual. If your child continues to be given words that they have had in previous weeks this means that they are not using knowledge of this word in their daily writing.
At home you can make spelling fun by using a variety of different ways to record their words:
on the computer
- made out of block or lego
- Cut letters and words out of magazines
- using chalk or plastic letters
