Reading logs and book reports


The children should have a reading book in English which is listed on their reading log at school. The children need to read 4 books before Christmas and complete 2 book reports and read 4 after Christmas and complete another 2 book reports. Please listen to your child read as well to help them become fluent readers.

Here is the link to the Oxford Owl reading where you can find books on line to listen to and read together.

Spelling tests

The weekly spelling test will be on Monday. For the test the chilren have to write extensive sentences (not just simple sentences) with the word in it. Please practice the words at home with your child for Monday. They will also get new words on Monday which they have to write sentences for by Wednesday at the latest. The children should look the words up in a dictionary and write down next to the word in their notebooks whether the word is an adjective, noun or verb because in English words can be used in many different ways.
