High Frequency Words: We are re-testing these at school at the moment, stay tuned for an updated list to be sent home for practicing. If a list is not sent home, this means that your child knows the first 300 Oxford words.
Reading: Aim to read 15 minutes at home per night.
Inquiry: Think about what a good friend is – can you list some characteristics or words that describe what you think a good friend is. For example, it could be that they are: happy, have a smile, make you feel calm.
