Home Learning:
Reading:
Your child should also be taking home their personal reading book at the end of each day. There are lots of activities that could be carried out linked to their reading book. For example: a book review (this could be done on the computer using Word or Powerpoint); creative writing based on character, plot or setting; a study of the author (their life and work) or a piece of art work linked to the text.
Spelling:
Your child will have been given a set of weekly spellings to practise across the week. Why not have a go at some creative ways to practise these e.g. mnemonics, wordsearches, crosswords, playing charades, making a mini dictionary, making a poster, hangman, scrabble etc.
