Topic Homework!
At the start of each term you will also receive a list of topic homework ideas, I will ask for a minimum about of pieces to be completed but the rest is up to you! Get creative, the list is to just give you some ideas, you do not need to stick to it!
Please continue to read regularly at home. In your reading records, you can record it in your own way. Remember, it doesn't always have to be your adults filling out this book!
