Robins have had a busy week planning their final piece of writing based on the book The Silence Seeker as part of our whole school topic Home. They will continue to draft and edit over the next 2 weeks and then we will share our final pieces with you. 

Please remember to read with your child for 10 - 15 mins daily and record in diary if possible. Also take a look at their reading target which is on a sticker in their diary, some children may have the same target for a few weeks to work on. 

Spellings for next week will focus on the 'c' sound spelt ch and 'sh' sound spelt with ch 

chemist, character, school, stomach, parachute, brochure, chef, machine

Spelling quiz next week will be on Friday 19th May
