Grinshill Spring Term Homework and Spellings Information

As we welcome you back to school for Spring term, we would like to remind you that general Grinshill homework will be set on a Friday by Miss Lloyd-Jones and is to be returned on the following Wednesday.

Spellings will also be given by Mrs Pearce on a Wednesday for a test the following Wednesday.

We would also like to ask you to ensure you are reading at home and filling in the yellow reading record.

Additionally, times tables should be being practiced at home – Timestables.co.uk is a terrific learning tool, especially the ‘Speed test’ function (click on the right of the page) which will help increase speed gradually with practice!

Thank you.
