Week 5, Term 1

SPELLING
Complete your look, say, cover, write, check in their LSCWC small notebook starting this Thursday.

READING
Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.
Please find a way to read with someone, not to someone if possible. We have discussed possible approaches to this.
Write a journal entry each day about what you have read. Please try to write a short description of the sessions reading but ensure it is not just an airy fairy throw away line.
You may want to include details like: 

• Character developments 
• Describing the setting
• Plot changes
• Predictions of future events

We will be asking students to share their journals throughout the week.

TIMES TABLES
This week's focus are the 4 & 6 times tables. Please demonstrate/record how you have learnt or practiced for homework.
This may be anything. Some suggestions may be:

• A rhyme
• Written on paper
• A video
• A song
• A pattern

Please return the consent and medical forms as soon as possible. If your child has dietary requirements please indicate on the medical form so we can get more information from you. 

Week 3, Term 1

SPELLING
(Thursday Night Start)
Students need to do their look, say, cover, write, check in their LSCWC small notebook starting this Thursday.

This can not begin until then as we are starting the routine on Thursday. They will test every Thursday morning and reset their words straight after. 

READING
Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.
We will be asking students about what they have read.

TIMES TABLES
We have noticed a focus on basic multiplication facts (times tables) is needed for both year 5 and 6 students. These facts are integral to assisting a child's fast progress within maths.
Can you please listen to and question your children on 2, 5, and 10 times tables this week.

Acquaintance Night is on Wednesday 15th February from 6 - 6:45pm, we are looking forward to seeing you all then.

Camp information has been given out today. Please return the consent and medical forms as soon as possible. If your child has dietary requirements please indicate on the medical form so we can get more information from you. 

We are both looking forward to a year of successful learning with your child.
