Welcome to Argentina class, made up of 31 amazing children, Mrs Thorpe (class teacher) and our teaching assistants Mrs Styring and Mrs Read. On our webpage you will find lots of useful information and updates throughout the year. More regular 'in the moment' updates will be shared through Class Dojo so please make sure you're connected! For your information, every other Tuesday Miss Roberts will cover the class during my PPA time (planning, preparation and assessment time).

You are hopefully aware of Spelling Shed, our new program to help the children with their spelling. The children all have a login for Spelling Shed, which is stuck somewhere in their diary. To help the children improve their spelling, I have made a couple of changes to the way spellings are taught/tested.
1. We will still continue to test the words on the Year 5 word list (documents found below). However this will only happen once or twice a month rather than each week.
2. Each week or every other week we will focus on a particular spelling rule, for example words that end in tial. The children will complete activities in class for these words and will also have that spelling rule set for them on Spelling Shed to practise at home or in school when time allows.
This will allow the children exposure to a greater number of words and help them with their general spelling in written work rather than just focusing on spelling a few words. The spellings will be posted on ClassDojo for the following Friday. If spellings are not posted on ClassDojo then words from the spelling list will be tested.
Homework each week could be mymaths, spag.com or a topic related piece. Homework on the webpage will be updated by the end of each week, homework is expected in the end of the following week. Homework runs along side regular reading (both independently and to an adult) and learning spellings.
