Week 4 Monday night's homework was to review the static image plan and update it to show a one word idea. (Very few students did this.) A number of students have basic facts sheets to do. If I don't set tasks, there are websites available on the blog for your child to do homework nightly. Reading or basic facts practice or calculation practice or playing word games are other options. Your child can be organising themselves to do something educational and useful every night. Please support them.
Week 3 Poster for Deep Practice and a number of students also have basic facts sheets to do. (5 students did the poster :( and none did the basic facts. This is disappointing organisation.)
Week 2 Manage your own learning!
What skills are you still weak at? Work on them!
* Do you need to practise times tables? (LOTS of you do, so please get on with it!)
* Do you need to recognise written words more quickly? Then READ!
* Do you need to read with expression? Then READ, using the punctuation to help you do that.
* Do you need to spell more accurately? The use the sites on our homework page to help you practise.
This week you will all be making a poster which outlines ways you could help yourself to become a better learner! We'll share ideas in class (think creatively to come up with ideas) and then you will need to think critically to decide which ideas you need to practise.
Reading, reading, reading! When we start reading, we must 'learn to read'. Later on, it's time to 'read to learn'. Different text types are written in different ways and give us different types of information.
A story (narrative) has characters (the people/ animals/ aliens etc who are involved), a setting (where and when the story happens) and a problem which is solved (the plot).
You must start a story at the beginning and read it in order (in sequence).
To understand the story you need to remember who the characters are, where they are, and pay attention to what they're doing.
