Spellings and Reading
 
Please help your children to practise their spellings at home. We have a spelling test every Friday.
 
Your child's book change day is every Friday. Bookbags should be in school everyday, but especially on a Friday. You can also access your child's phonic reading book online through Oxford Owl and your login details are in the front of your child's yellow reading record. 
 
Our expectation is for you to listen to your child read at least 3 times a week. Please record each read in your child's reading record and we will be checking these every Friday when we change books. The children will be working towards reading awards which they will be presented with in assembly.
