Hello boys and girls
I hope you had a lovely week. I have missed teaching you all so much! It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of June already. You have worked so hard at home the past few months and I know it isn’t always easy, but you are doing such an excellent job so keep it up. I hope you are getting outside for lots of fresh air & are keeping as active as possible. This will make you feel great and full of energy.
You will find activities for this week below. Give as many of the activities as you can a go. Pick and choose activities and work at a pace that suits you and your child.
If you have any questions or you would like to share some of the work that your child has completed you can email me at chloe.coyne@warrenmountprimary.com

**Don't forget to ask your child lots of questions before, during and after they read a story.
Here are some more wonderful stories you can enjoy listening to:
- What was your favourite story? Why?
- Who was your favourite character in the story? Why?
- What story did you like the least? Why?
- What was your favourite part in one of the stories you listened to? Can you describe the setting of this scene?
Spellings:
I hope you have been getting on well with working through the dolch word list over the past few weeks.
I would recommend reading through all of the dolch word this week and testing yourself on as many as you can out loud or by writing them down.
**Look, say, cover, write, check
