SPELLING HOMEWORK:

Test your child on as many of the words below as you feel appropriate. This homework will not be checked by the teacher so if your child isn’t co-operating with you please let me know.
1.narrative (clue: 7 sounds)
2.stories (clue: 5 sounds)
3.awesome (clue: 4 sounds)
Get your child to show you how to sound out these words using their THRASS chart. Eg. Chicken = Chair/tin/duck/bed/net.
Answers are listed below. I’m open to discussion if you THRASS it out differently to the way I did.
Activity: How many words can you think of that have an “ie” in them that makes an “ie” sound like in “stories”? eg. Fairies.

narrative = net/ant/cherry/ant/tap/tin/sleeve
stories = sun/tap/fork/*ie(same box as "me")/sun
awesome = *awe(same box as "or")/sun/*o(same box as tin)/*me(same box as "mouse")

READING HOMEWORK:

Mercury: Fluency box book
Venus: Fluency box book
Earth: Fluency box book
Mars: Fluency box book
Saturn: Fluency box book
Jupiter: Fluency box book
Uranus: Optional Fluency box book (will have library books or their own books from home otherwise)

Every child changed their book for a new one if needed (some children assured me they hadn't had time to read the one they already had so will bring that same book home again)
