Homework

To clear up any confusion, I'm going to give a little further explanation regarding homework for the class.

Each week the children will have a spelling test. They will copy the words into their agenda and are expected to study them ready for a test every Friday.

The children will also bring home a book bag. These must be returned on Thursdays and it is hoped that you will read with your child every day.

The red homework folder contains reading and writing exercises.
On the first page, children are to read the poem and then practise saying the letter combinations in large print at the bottom of the page.
On the second page, children read and copy the syllables on the left hand side. They read the words and phrases on the right hand side. At the bottom of the page is a list of words and two phrases that they read and also copy.
On the third page, children read the words in the rectangle (1). For 2., they write down the word that corresponds with the picture. For 3. they copy the phrase.
On the fourth page, children identify and write down the word that corresponds with the picture.
On the fifth page, children circle the hard "g" sound (1). For 2., they write the syllables. For 3., they colour only the pictures that contain the hard "g" sound.
On the last page, children complete the words using the syllables on the left hand side to correspond with the picture.

Each week, the homework will follow much the same pattern.

Some of the vocabulary in this week's homework is:
le gâteau - cake
guéri - cured/better
la guêpe - wasp
le guide - guide/way
la gare - station
galope - gallop
le figure - face
fatigué - tired
rigole - laugh
une bague - a ring
regarder - to look at
gâté - spoilt
l'église - church
carotte - carrot
le garage - garage
le sofa - sofa
les raisins - grapes
le locomotive - train
le gant - glove
la galette - cookie
la langue - tongue

I hope that this is helpful!
