Homework for this week:

English:

Next week, the children will be writing their own Norse myth. However, we have noticed that some of the children are still struggling to use inverted commas for direct speech accurately. Therefore, this weeks homework will focus on this skill. 

REMEMBER: Inverted commas, talking talking talking, a piece of punctuation, inverted commas. 

For example: 

"Please practise your times tables," said Miss Taylor. 

                              OR

Miss Taylor said, "Please practise your times tables." 

Spellings:

Please make sure you are practising 'week 3' spellings ready for next weeks test. 

Extra copies will be in the 'Spelling and Speed Spell' folder. 

Reading:

 It is really important that the children are reading as much as possible (preferably daily). Please make a note each time your child has read at least 10 minutes so it goes towards their 100 reads to get a book from the vending machine. Once your child has finished their book, please remind them to put it in their class reading folder box so it can be changed if necessary. 

Times tables

We will continue to use our maths programme 'Number sense' to prepare the children for the Year 4 multiplication check in June. 

Please make sure your child is practising their 3x tables including division facts ready for the next few weeks. 

To do list: 

- Read your school book (try to aim for at least 10 minutes per day)

- Practise your 3x tables (and division facts) ready for our daily tests next week

- Practise your 'week 3' spellings for next weeks test (Friday) 

- Complete your English homework into your orange homework book (due Wednesday 19th October)
