Here's an outline of the homework for this week.

Reading - The class have started reading the book 'Looking After Zara' Last week they were asked to read to page 14. This week please read up to page 15-20 Only. We are working on chunking our words. If your child finds it difficult to pronounce a word they should look for chunks they know.

 Example: yes-ter-day: yesterday.

There is one small group in the class who are reading a different book. They have the week to read the book, just a few pages a night. Please check for comprehension.

• Spellings: Please learn the list of spellings for the test on Friday. This week the spellings are based on the 'ss/zz' sound.

1. ox
2. glass
3. pizza
4. buzz
5. cross
6. there
7. they
8. crossroad
9. less
10. miss

Challenge words:

dress

fizz

• Thematic Words: These are words relating to the theme in class of Myself. These words also relate to topics being covered in Learn Together, SESE and English. The children should know the meaning of these words and be able to read and discuss them by Friday.

1. Materials
2. difference
3. light
4. path
5. reflection

The children wrote these words out in class today so if you could check that they have spelled them correctly. The spelling practice sheets were put into their spelling folders but some children forgot their folder today so if it is at home can you put the sheet in tonight.
