Just a short note to say that children should have bought home their spelling sheets tonight, if your child missed their copy (there was alot going on with Harvest Cafe), then please see me on Monday. The spellings are on a Look/Cover/Write/Check sheet which has been explained to the children. They can then practise their spellings at home before being tested on a Friday morning. However, the tests are carried out in a very light hearted way and the message that we give is that it doesn’t matter if mistakes are made – that’s how we learn! I would certainly not like any of the children to worry about these spellings. They are simply a way of encouraging the children to use their sound knowledge to practise spellings and to prepare them for the homework they will get in Year 3 and beyond. If the children remember to bring their completed spelling sheets in before the test each week, they get a hot point!
