Here are some of photos from the recent camp. We had a fantastic time.
Spelling Practise
We are no longer sending out weekly spelling lists. Spelling is practised in class and we are focusing on rules. The list above practises the common words needed for children in years 5 and 6.
If you would like to practise further activities with your child, Spelling Frame has some good activities and worksheets for practice. The link to the free website is below:
