Additionally, spellings will be sent out in a spelling book for you to practise with your child.  Your child will be tested on these each Thursday in the back of their spelling book so you can see how they have done. The school expectation is that your child will read every day at home. Please make sure you sign the home school communication book  each day, as your child will receive a reward stamp for reading 5 times.
