Important things to know
PE:
PE for Daisy Class this half term is on either Wednesday or Thursday with Mrs. Powell. Please check the diary for the week to discover which day your child needs to wear their PE kit.
On PE days, please come to school wearing your PE kit. Make sure you have trainers on or have brought trainers to change into for the lesson. PE kit should be joggers, shorts or leggings that allow you to move, run and jump easily, and a T-shirt. On cold days, make sure you have a jumper too.
On all other school days, please wear your school uniform.
Reading:
Please read with your grown-ups for 5-10 minutes every day. This is the very best way to improve your reading skills. Reading should mostly be your Home Reading Book that you take from school, but can be a shared story, a comic or a book you have borrowed from school. Just read!
Home Reading Books:
Everyone will have a home reading folder. You will have a book at your reading level given to you whenever you have finished a book at home. You can change this book on any day, as soon as you have read it. Please fill in the reading log with your grown-up.
You may also borrow any book at any level from the class libraries. The school library is available for children to borrow books. It is open on some lunchbreaks and usually on Monday. Wednesday and Thursday after school.
Spellings:
Your spelling test will still be on each Wednesday. You will have a spelling group and a set of words for your group. Practising your spellings for a few minutes every day makes them much easier to remember than one big learning session on the night before the test. Every week, as well as your spelling list, you will see a link for spelling games underneath the list. These links will take you to games you can play that help you to test your spelling knowledge.
Spelling lists will be updated every Wednesday.
Your next Spelling Test is on Wednesday 7th May. The focus is on adding suffixes (endings) to words with 2 consonants at the end.
KEY KNOWLEDGE: a, e, i, o and u are vowels in English. All other letters are consonants. Play these games to practise recognising vowels and consonants:
| Glas | Gwyrdd | Oren | Coch | Porffor |
land landed walk walked mend mended kick kicked jump jumped | flash flashed clamp clamped shift shifted trust trusted twist twisted | shifted flashed clamped trusted twisted sniffed dressed blinked grasped crushed | watched flinched crushed stuffed searched climbed attached resented affected infested | confessed infected constructed converted restricted installed protected instructed invented corrected |
