Homework

Eisteddfod poetry - These will be performed in class in week ten of the term (22nd - 26th June). Students all have the details and marking criteria in their homework books.

Spelling & Reading - We continue with our regular spelling practice, but sentences to read to support the spelling concept for the week.

Maths - This week students are working on factor pairs and have an activity to practice this, as well as more times tables practice.

 

On Friday morning please ensure your child returns their homework book and maths worksheets, plus any school journals they have borrowed for the week. If you have any issues or questions, I am more than happy to arrange a phone call or a face-to-face meeting. Please note that staff will not be communicating using their own cell phones - please email me.
