Happy Friday all! As I was unwell on Monday, we were unable to complete our weekly spelling test. The children will therefore have an extra week to practise their spellings before we complete the test next week. This week's spellings focus on homophones and near-homophones, which are words that sound the same or very similar but have different meanings and, in some cases, different spellings. I will not read the words out in the order they appear on the list, so it is important that the children learn the meaning of each word as well as how to spell it. past passed proceed precede aisle isle aloud allowed affect effect English: Hidden Figures As part of our Space topic and our learning for Black History Month, we have been reading and completing activities based on Hidden Figures.

Please make sure your child is completing one hour of Sumdog at home each week. Last week, fewer than one-third of the class reached this target, so please encourage your child to complete their weekly hour. Regular practice on Sumdog will help to reinforce the maths skills we are learning in class. Please also encourage your child to read aloud to you for 10 minutes, 5 days a week, and record this in their orange reading record. Regular reading aloud will help to develop their fluency, expression and confidence. Spellings (Test 28th September) symbol mystery lyrics oxygen symptom physical system typical crystal rhythm
