Mindfulness
Mindfulness focuses on paying attention to the present moment (thoughts and feelings) as well as the world around you. This can improve mental wellbeing. The link below is a slideshow of ideas about how to use sensory items to relax.
Spelling quiz
The weekly spelling quiz is a an opportunity to see which words your child can spell independently.
The spelling quiz should focus on the spelling words that were given out last Wednesday that match your child's ability (please see last Wednesday's home learning page for the spellings).
The spelling quiz is held each Tuesday and if you would like to share the results of the quiz with your child's class teacher they can do this via class dojo.
The spelling quiz is carried out by an adult saying the word aloud and putting it into context (e.g. The word to spell is "plate", "can you put your plate in the sink?". Then the child can write it down and move onto the next word by repeating this process.
English
Today is all about questions! Doesn't that sound fun? We are going to be thinking of some questions that we would like to ask Mum when we write out letter back to her.
