Homework Term 3

Hi everyone,

Welcome back. Hope you all had a nice break.

Homework is changing slightly this term. I have explained this to the class but here is a layout of what it will look like for the next few weeks.

English

Spellings will continue to be stuck in their homework copy. Children to learn these nightly. They do not have to put these into sentences anymore.

Reading- Each Monday the children will get a comprehension from The Green Genie. They will get differentiated Comprehensions Tues-Thurs.

Writing- Written homework on a Monday and a Tuesday will be based on their reading from the Green Genie. They will answer these questions in their homework copy. Please remind them to continue to present this carefully. They will have written homework from their handwriting book later in the week.

Maths

Word Problems- For the month of April the class will be getting 10 word problems per week. We will correct them together on a Friday. Encourage them to use their copy/rough work to work out the answer.

Tables- We are now revising all tables and will continue to use Tables Champion to do this. Please remember this is the last term that they will formally learn addition and subtraction tables so it is important to do these nightly.

Maths word- As we did last term we will learn new maths words weekly. Laminated sheet in homework folder

Irish

Reading- Each week the class will get 2 pieces of Irish reading. Here is a link to a website if you wish to hear the audio. http://www.cjfallon.ie/  Click into parent/student resources. Irish Spellings will resume next week when they children are used of the reading homework.

I will continue to give Planet Maths on some nights also as we work through new topics in Maths.
We will be doing one final project also later in the term. More details to follow.

Thanks,

Denise.
