As mentioned, reading is part of this year's homework, along with weekly spellings. Children will need to practise their spellings weekly. Your child has a spelling book with their words listed, and the quiz will take place on Friday. Please do not use the book to practise with.

If you would like to complete additional activities to support your child's learning, I have outlined some suggestions below.

• Creating a list of interesting adjectives.
• Practice turning adjectives into adverbs (E.g., quick = quickly, happy = happily)
• Extending sentences using or and so.

Maths:

• Count forwards and backwards from any number below 100. 
• Counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s.
• Partition the same number in different ways i.e. 44=40+4, 30+14, 20+24 etc
• Practice doubles and halves.

History:

• Research your local area, what was it like in the past? How has it changed?
• Research Thurnby Court and its impact on our village.
