In Term 3 we have 3 focus areas for Home Learning:


 * 1) Times Table: You will have times tables to work on every night or a worksheet.
 * 2) 30 min reading per night: Some of you will have books that you can take home and read. The rest of you can read what ever you like but try to pick a variety of genre.
 * 3) FROGS spelling: If you are on lists 1-74 you will take home your spelling lists and sentences.

This term you have 2 projects to complete at home. Both are connected with our topic.

B) You need to create a time line of our life stating the major moments from each year of your life. Both aspects of this assignment will require a lot of discussion with your family/whanau. This assignment is due Monday Week 9.
