 Homework Requirements Term 2

Spelling Words http://6catherine.wikispaces.com/homework+requirements

Every Monday you will need to select 10 spelling words from your writing book, reading book, personal dictionary and spelling test we did last term. You are to practice these words every night and I will shut up and then be gay .

Times Tables

Every Monday we will set new times tables until you are able to answer all times tables in any order, automatically, you will need to keep learning them. Those of you that know a certain times table off by heart will have the opportunity to complete and practise challenge multiplication tables.

Homework Grid

Your homework grid is completed every fortnight. I expect it to be spread out over the two weeks and all worj to be written in your homework books. You must include a sub heading for every topic completed.

Mathletics

Make sure you complete the required tasks set by your teacher on Mathletics.
