Homework and Spellings

Homework books will be given out each Monday, (starting on Monday 9^th September) and they are to be returned the following Monday.

Spelling tests will take place on Friday mornings. Your child will bring home a spelling book every Friday (starting on Friday 13^th September.) The book will contain their spellings for a test the following Friday. Spelling lists for the whole half-term will be on the front inside cover of their homework books and can also be found on the school website. It may be a good idea to take a photograph of these lists on your phone just in case their homework book is left in school for any reason.   

Both the spelling lists and the homework tasks can be downloaded from the files section below.
