Homework – Thursday 14th September 2023

Thursday 14th September 2023

Please find this weeks homework – I have spoken to the children in class about this weeks homework. They all have their logins and passwords for Fiction Express. They all understand what they have to do. On fiction express there are three different versions for chapter 1;

  1. Level 1
  2. Level 1 Lite (Slightly easier with less words)
  3. Audio – (Access via speaker at top of page, children can listen to the text and follow the story)

Please do not panic if you think this is too hard for your child, even when listening via the audio,  your child should be able to complete the test at the end.

I understand that the year 3 children are a little anxious about the expectations for this year, please don’t worry, in a matter of weeks it will feel normal. It is quite a jump academically  from year 2 to year 3.

I have had conversations with Mrs Greggory about individual children and what their limitations are, she feels that what I have set this week is well within all capabilities.

Homework due in by Wednesday next week.

Thank you

Kind regards,

Mrs Roberts
