AFTERNOON ACTIVITES
All afternoons part 1:
Complete 30 minutes of Reading Eggs and 30 minutes of TTRockstars every afternoon. If you have Nessy, complete this as well. If you need any passwords sending over, please let us know!
Mr Richardson is also very keen for you to watch his assemblies so go to the tab on the website, entitled 'Assemblies'
Dictation and spelling
Your task today and tomorrow afternoon is to complete 2/3 dictations exercises. To do this, you will need help from an adult or an older sibling. Dictation means that something is read to you and you have to write down what is read, as perfectly as possible:
-Handwriting MUST be super neat
-Spellings should be correct
-Punctuation should also be correct
Choose your own dictation exercises from the PowerPoint below:
Once you have chosen which exercises you would like to do, ask an adult or an older sibling to read them to you.
After you have finished the exercise, give your handwriting a mark out of 10, also mark the punctuation. If you missed some punctuation marks, learn where they should have been and finally, if you spelt anything incorrectly, PRACTISE AND LEARN THE SPELLINGS!
