Monday – weekly spellings to be practiced and put into sentences using correct punctuation and sent through a dojo message or brought into school.
Friday –Task set linked to learning in class through Purple Mash(when applicable to the learning taking place in class and a message will be sent out informing you about the task)
Numbots weekly expectation that the children should be practising their numerical skills for at least 10–15 minutes a week.
It is essential that all the children read at home at least 3 times a week and this is then recorded onto the BOOM read app, as this helps the children to gain extra dojo points to help them gain merit certificates and allow them to develop their reading fluency.
You will be informed through Class Dojo about any homework set as a 2Do on Purple Mash.
This will have a completion date and the work will need to be saved, so that it can be marked and dojos awarded.
