 * 1) Every time you spell a word incorrectly you must write it down in your spelling area - you must have 15 words a week so you can write words from your vocabulary list as well. You will have a week to learn these words and you will then be tested on them in your literacy programme.

Week one to two:

You must complete all of the following activity sheets by Friday the 13th, and have them uploaded on your wiki, as we will mark them in class. You will have two blocks to complete all of these over a two week period, they will be your homework if you do not complete them in time.
