The children will be given spellings to learn every Monday and will be tested on them the following Monday. Please support your child in learning their spellings through the week.

A homework grid relating to the topic being covered will be sent  home at the beginning of each half term. The children are expected to research and produce answers to at least 2 of the questions.
