READING: Reading is an integral part of everyday class life.  Your child will read every day in class, either through guided, shared or individual reading.  To support your child's reading progress, we ask that they read every night at home. Please be patient as we begin the term as reading time can take a little longer and your child may not read every day at the beginning.

HOMEWORK - Spellings and Maths Quest:  At the moment, the homework in Class 1 is to read but in time, Class 1 will have a weekly spelling test on Monday mornings.  The children have opportunities to practice their spellings in class during the week. The spellings are sent home in a homework book the week before in order for the children to practice at home also. The children will also be given a maths quest homework task every week based on the maths that has been taught in school the previous week.
