There was no official homework sent home today, but please can we keep up the emphasis on the importance of Home Reading. All students now have a Reading Log in their Homework Book for them to record their (hopefully) daily reading.
In class I can teach them about commas and apostrophes, nouns and adverbs and direct speech and complex sentences until the cows come home, but they'll get this new learning reinforced and embedded if they READ! If you want to see some faster improvement in your child's spelling, punctuation and grammar, encourage them to read, read, READ!
Also, each child has a times tables grid in their Homework Book. Children recite their tables to a parent who times them and signs the grid. This activity can be done daily, and children don't need to have it asked specifically of them.
And finally, for this week's Leader's Assembly, I have asked about 10 volunteers to write, edit and read a one paragraph report on Room 10. Volunteers will read their thoughts to the class after receiving their leadership badges. I hope they're all complimentary...
