Homework
Spellings
New spellings will be placed into homework folders on the Look, Cover, Write, Check worksheet each Monday for children to practice at home for a spelling test the following Monday. These spellings incorporate 8 words from the previous week’s phonics lessons and 2 common exception words. Spellings will also be shared weekly via the class website page. Children then need to choose 3 of the new spellings and put these into sentences on their homework sheet. Children must write their own sentences and not copy from an adult. Please use a pencil and concentrate on neat handwriting, finger spaces, capital letters and full stops.
Maths
A weekly Classroom Secrets homework sheet linked to the maths focus for the week can also be found within homework folders.
Reading
It is really important to read for pleasure regularly at home. Please read the book that you take home from school as well as the books you have at home too. Try to read for a few minutes every day. All children also have books uploaded on Bug Club (Active Learn).
Purple Mash
There are lots of activities and tasks on Purple Mash, which we use for our Computing Curriculum that children can enjoy at home. Your child's login can be found in their homework folder.

Superhero WOW Day
We have had a fantastic fun filled WOW day! We have designed our own Superhero costumes, made Superhero biscuits and masks and had a super Superhero hunt.
Our topic for this term is
Bright Lights, Big City
On Thursday, 4th January we are having an afternoon tea themed WOW Day in school to start our new topic. Children will be exploring landmarks, creating art and of course, yummy baking!
In the Bright Lights, Big City project, your child will learn the story of a local landmark. They will learn about the countries that make up the United Kingdom, including their location, capital cities and some of their physical and human features. They will have the opportunity to do map work, using compasses and positional and directional language to plan routes around London. They will research the cause and impact of the Great Fire of London and look at some famous London landmarks. They will learn about other capital cities around the world, including Kuala Lumpur, and compare how they are similar and different to London.
