HOMEWORK

Reading is a very important skill and we ask that you read every night at home.

Each Monday, you will receive a Phonics book and this must be returned on Friday.

Each Thursday, you will be given a Reading Scheme book which must be handed in on the next Monday.

We encourage you to read other books that you have at home. Please remember that it is not only about reading books but also about understanding the text.

 

Each Wednesday, your homework will be saved here.

Please complete this by Sunday evening as we will be testing your knowledge in class to see who understands.
