Homework
Spellings
As part of our new homework policy, we advise that children practise their spellings at home at least three times a week. Below you will find a document outlining spelling strategies to help support learning at home. Research suggests that no single strategy works for all children, so we encourage the use of a variety of activities to make spelling practice more engaging and effective. Children can choose from different methods to practise their spellings in a way that is both fun and beneficial to their learning. They will still have access to Spelling Shed where they can access online games too.
Please find below the spellings for Cowell class:
