English Spelling
Dear Parents,
Please note that there will be no Spelling Tests on 1 and 8 February.
For today's Spelling Test, one common mistake that caused the children's 'shiny star' in front of their book, was the use of uppercase letters. I've taken a picture of a child's work (whom I cannot remember whose); please pardon me if this piece of work belongs to your child.
As you can see, I know that the child knows that he/she is to begin the phrase 'jumped into' with a lowercase 'j'. However, the lowercase 'j' is resting on the line, instead of letting its tail fall. A lowercase 's' is also another common issue. To reinforce the importance of correct formation of letters, I will be using Spelling as one of the platforms to inform both the children, and parents as well, of the standard that we have for the children. I will be penalising them on this.
There are children who are still placing full stops behind the phrases. They will not be penalised for this, but your help in looking out for this when giving practice Spelling sessions will definitely help them improve on this.
Thank you very much for working closely with me!
