English Homework and spellings:
Homework is a little different this year as it will all be set online and not given back to your teacher. For English homework I will set weekly spellings online and provide you with a reading book for which you can keep for a week at home. The Lemur class will change their books every Friday so please make sure your reading book is in school that day. Even if you haven't managed to finish the book please do still bring it in so we can check your progress with it.
