Literacy and EnglishSpellingIndividual Common Word spelling lists will be assessed this week and any words still needing work will be sent home next week.All groups are now working on common spelling patterns

and rules. Spelling words should be practised each day using an activity from the Spelling Menu – you will not remember the words by copying them out once into your Home Learning jotter.As we are now learning/practising to join our handwriting in class the expectation is that this will be carried through to home learning and that there will be some written evidence of spelling practice recorded in the Home Learning jotter in neat joined handwriting.Week commencing 15 th January Odin –cue, flute, amuse, statue, threw, fewer, bluebell, venue, pollute, volume, newt, fortune, avenue, attitude, costume, absoluteThor – miss, cross, giant, magic, large, danger, orange, vegetable, March, AprilFreya (Platinum) - map, fix, jump, fault, autumn, haunt, August, after, every, astronautLoki (Gold) – in, leg, glad, ring, sad, strong, lung, be, was, lengthWeek commencing 22 nd January Odin –these, recede, delete, scheme, stampede, complete, extreme, athlete, concrete, supreme, centipedeThor – luck, click, was, wash, wasp, swan, watch, swallow, May, JuneFreya (Platinum) - zip, men, pond, saw, claw, dawn, prawn, mother, father, strawberryLoki (Gold) – on, but, plum, quick, quiz, queen, squid, to, do, squirrel

Literacy and EnglishReadingReading homework is back on track. Check your yellow Reading

Record for pages to be read and remember to get your jotter signed. Check on the meaning of any unfamiliar words – ask someone at home,

or use a dictionary (online dictionaries are fine too).Numeracy and MathsRemember that you can access the excellent http://www.interactive-resources.co.uk/ website from home; both the username and

password are crownprimary (all lower case). Go into the ‘P4 – Miss Gray’ folder and you will find plenty of games to keep practising your mental addition and subtraction.We also now have access to Sumdog – you should all have stuck your password into your Home Learning jotter. If you cannot access Sumdog at home you need to let Miss Gray know so that we can create more opportunities for you to access Sumdog at school.You are now also registered to play Times Tables Rock Stars at: https://ttrockstars.com/site/indexYou should have stuck your username and password into your Home Learning jotter. Miss Gray sets the times tables you practise under some of the headings but you can practise all of your times tables under others. If I see that you are making good progress I can set you more challenging tables. Have fun!FrenchIf you want to work on your numbers to 20, days of the week and months of the year at home (remember there are Dojos up for grabs) why not have a look at this website for some fun games and activities!http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primarylanguages/french/
