Welcome to Spring Term in Hawk Class!
Our first Literacy text this term is the tale of Hermelin, an exciting story about an inquisative mouse on a mission to solve mysteries. We will be writing a detective narrative and a letter.
Our weekly spelling tests will take place each Friday. New spellings will also be given on Fridays. Homework will also continue to be assigned on Fridays and collected the same day the following week.
Reading and Phonics underpins all education and as such pupils are encouraged to read at home and practise their phonics sounds for at least five minutes every day. A record of this should then be made by a parent/carer in the Home School Journal. Please do not worry about leaving a long comment, we know this can become time-consuming. A simple signature is a great way to show that you are engaging with your child's at home learning. Please ensure your child’s journal is bought to school every day.
