Homework due

It is very impressive to note once again the commitment that children in 2 Navy are showing to their homework. An important tip for effective learning of the weekly spelling words is to ensure that your child does the 'look, cover, write, check' over four separate days.  Some children have told me that they do their four sets of spelling all in one go, which unfortunately does not help their long term memory of the spelling of those words, and is evident in their Friday spelling test results. To make this a worthwhile learning experience, practising the spelling words daily is far more productive. Please also continue to practise the sight word spelling, which is updated regularly in your child's reading folder. Your child will generally be tested on a fortnightly basis. Becoming proficient at spelling the most common 200 words will assist your child enormously in both their writing and their reading fluency. Thank you for the time you take to support your child with their practise of literacy and maths concepts at home - it really is an important way to set your child up for success.

Have a wonderful week! :)
