Just a reminder that homework is set for Year 4 and 5. 

Please record all homework in your Homework Journal and have a parent or carer sign off. These Journals will be sighted on a Tuesday.

1. Home daily reading (books of students preference 15 - 20 minutes per day minimum please record in your homework book and have a parent sign). Students always need to have a short passage ready to read out loud for our weekly fluency circles (oral expressive reading practice).

2. Spelling Revision (Spelling Sorts are accessible via link at top right Spelling Lists also accessible through Spelling City Link below).

Spelling activities can be written also and students are aware of our Weekly Routine written activities. Eg: Writing Words x 3, Colourful Sounds, Sorting Words that have similar spelling patterns, Putting words into sentences, Writing Meanings of unknown words, Finding similar/like words eg: photograph and photocopy, photogenic.
