Hawk Owls Spelling Booklet Autumn 2

Hello,

I’ve given out the spelling booklets for the children to get a head start on their spellings for next Friday.

Spellodrome is going to be a huge help with spellings this term as it will get the children to focus on the high frequency words we use all the time. With this, I encourage all Hawk Owls to get on there at least three times a week to earn points and certificates-this can also be done at school. I will ensure children have their log on to take home tomorrow.

Here’s the link direct to the website:

Thanks,

Miss Bailey
