Spelling test: Friday 13th March
Spellings
Because I was away for the first seven days of this half-term, this week’s homework will be devoted only to spellings, to allow us to keep to the schedule given out before half term.
Therefore next Friday, there will be the test for Friday 13th March (see below) as well as the test that would have taken place today (Friday 6th March). Please be ready for both of these. There will be no other homework in order to give you more time to prepare for these.
Spelling Information – as given out before half term
Spelling List 1 is the standard list.
Spelling List 2 is the alternative list.
We have now almost completed the first run through the standard list of spellings and will start to review these. These spellings represent the expectation for upper key stage two (Year 5 and 6); by the end of Year 6, most children should be able to spell most of the words correctly. After half-term, we will start to test the spellings in a different way.
For quite a few of you, there needs to be an improvement in weekly performance. Remember that you have individual targets and these are based on what you yourself achieved in an assessment at the beginning of the year. If you are not reaching these targets, you will be retested using our usual type of testing. You will be set ten words per week and will be expected to score highly on this test. In addition, you will take part in the multiple-choice tests in order get practice in. If you are reaching your targets, you will be given multiple-choice tests based on more than just twenty of the words. Therefore you should revise the words you find harder from a longer list. Please see the attached list to know when you will be tested on each set of spellings. If you are unsure whether you are achieving your targets, please check with me.
For children whose targets are based on the alternative list, please continue to practice the next set of words. A list of when each set of words will be tested is given below.

Homework 2019-20
Friday 6th September 2019
There is no written homework this week. We will have our first spelling test next week but this will be based on words the children will not prepare for me (to allow me to set targets).
Children should be reading daily. When our home-school record books arrive, these will provide a space to record reading.
For anyone who wants to go that 'extra mile', our focus this term is on the natural world, especially British plants and animals. Finding out the names of local trees, birds, flowers and other animals and learning to identify them will be a good way to explore this topic away from school
