Amethyst & Emerald Blog - Friday 7th July 2023

 Happy Friday, everybody! It was lovely to see so many of you all at our Open School Evening on Tuesday and, of course, visitors from lower years who will be in Key Stage 1 next year!

Spelling Frame

Hopefully your child will have come home this week with their login details for Spelling Frame - check their bags or they may well be stuck in their reading diary.

Spelling Frame is a similar learning platform to Sumdog but uses games to support the learning of spelling patterns and rules. When you have logged in, you can select a Year group and then select a spelling rule or phoneme to explore. In the future, the spelling rule being covered in class will be added to the blog to further support homework tasks but we wanted to share this with you before the summer holidays so you could use the site in this time.

Visit the Spelling Frame website using the link below to login and start exploring different games to support your child's spelling!

Homework

We would like to thank you all for your hard work in supporting your child with their homework this year. We are returning the children's homework books to them today but we are not asking for them to be returned again this year.

If there are some pages left, please work through them at your own pace. The maths homework book is also a useful tool for looking back over the ideas we have covered this year as a reminder during the summer holidays so your child does not get too rusty over the 6 weeks off.

Don't forget to keep up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home in order to maintain the great progress made this year. It will make a huge impact on your child's reading development. Keep using the range of questions we have discussed previously as well!

If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day - we would love to see you!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best wishes

Mr Jude & Mrs Yuille
