Spelling Homework

Hi Parents and Caregivers

Your child should have brought home his or her book-bag and homework notebook tonight. We are starting spelling homework this week and will start reading homework next week.

Spelling Term 1: This term we are focusing on building our writing vocabulary so we can get our ideas down fast. Each week we will have a new Word of the Week. Your child's challenge is to find, or think of, words that rhyme with this word and list them in their book. During the week they can practise writing these words in a list and in sentences. We will check our progress on Friday by seeing how many words we can write in 10 minutes.

Bookbags: If your child has a book-bag at home could you please send it to school with their homework. This wasn't on the stationery list, but many will have them from last year. If they don't have a bag they can use a plastic bag.
