Learning by Questions Homework
Some weeks, the children will have some homework set on Learning by Questions (LBQ). To access it, please use this code: 9qqbcnbg. You can log in directly via the LBQ website here: Learning by Questions.
Each child also has a small label with a QR code and all of their sign-in details stuck inside the front cover of their reading record to make logging in easier.
Thank you for your support!
This term's spelling patterns that we are focussing on are:
Spellings we are struggling with:
| purpose | answer | skirt |
| heard | flavour | circle |
The class are also struggling to apply the correct spelling rules when adding suffixes. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning.
Since Year 1, the children have learned how to add the suffixes -ing, -ed, -er, and -est. There are several different rules to remember, depending on how the root word ends — for example, if it has a short vowel sound or ends in a certain letter.
Please follow the link below to learn more about adding suffixes and their spelling rules!

Christmas is fast approaching and today I have sent the children's lines for the Christmas service home. The class do not need to learn these by heart but read them clearly and loudly. Please could they be kept in their bags in the coming weeks as we will be practising in any spare moment we get!
The songs are also on the class page and it would be helpful for them to practice these also.
Of course, TTRS and reading is still expected to be done.

English Homework – Making Sentences More Interesting!
This week, we’ve been learning how to use adverbials to add more detail to our sentences.
Adverbials tell us when, where, or how something happens.
Here are three plain sentences from The Bear and the Piano:
1️⃣ The bear touched the piano.
2️⃣ The piano made a sound.
3️⃣ The bear practised.
Can you make each one more interesting by adding an adverbial?
Now try it!
Add one or more adverbials to each sentence.
You can put your adverbial at the start, middle, or end.
Example:
➡️ The bear touched the piano.
✅ After a while, the bear touched the piano carefully.
Now try your own!
🌟 Challenge!
Write one extra sentence of your own about The Bear and the Piano using two adverbials.
Example: Every morning, the bear practised carefully in the forest.
Encourage your child to say each sentence aloud before writing — it helps them hear what sounds best!
Maths: Watch the video and work alongside it:
TTRS: Log in and complete 10 minutes of the Garage session.
17.10.25
Grammar:
Choose a short comic strip or picture (from a book, magazine, or one you draw yourself!) with at least two characters talking.
Look at what the characters might be saying.
Write 3–5 sentences underneath your picture, using inverted commas to show what each character says.
Remember to start a new line each time someone new speaks!
Add a reporting clause (e.g. said, shouted, whispered) and a little action if you can.
Example:
“Watch out for the banana peel!” shouted Max.
“Oh no!” cried Ella, slipping on the floor.Challenge: Use different verbs instead of “said” — can you think of 3 new ones?
