Homework Room 8 Term 2 Week 5

I have decided to change the date that homework is to be handed in. It will now be handed in on a Tuesday and new homework sheets will be given out on Wednesday. Hopefully this will encourage more children to complete and hand in their homework!
Thank you to those who try their hardest and are always prompt with returning their work.

Reading
Readers each week, please ensure the sheet at the back of your child’s homework book is filled out. It is also an excellent idea to read a book together as a family.


Spelling
Brainstorm as many words as you can (on another page) that start with the blends ‘fr’, ‘cr’ and ‘br’
fr cr br


Maths
This week I have decided to move onto subtraction facts to help the children increase their maths knowledge. Again, if your child is having trouble working these out use objects to help them work it out.
5 – 4 = 3 – 1 =
4 – 2 = 2 – 2 =

It is probably a good time to remind you to name all the children’s clothes. The children change into their ‘spare’ clothes at lunch time and clothes go astray. I also have quite a few socks that nobody will claim!

Bringing a change of clothing Children who want to play on the field during break times are expected to bring a full change of clothing.

Hence the clothing needs to be appropriate for physical activity and ask your support to ensure the clothes your child brings are suitable for physical activity.
