*If your child is in the triangles maths group they are learning to solve addition and subtraction problems by counting all the objects

Spelling
Practice spelling the words in Essential List 1, and move onto List 2 if you have mastered List 1
This may be of help also

 Choose NZ list 1 or NZ list 2 - if your child masters these try list 3.
Writing
Write your spelling words into sentences.  Remember to start with a capital letter, use finger spaces and end with a full stop.  If you don't know how to spell a word stretch it out and write down the sounds you hear; listen for blends such as ch, th, sh, br and word endings like ing and ed, and the long vowel sounds ee or ea or y on the end of a word.

Reading
Read the story you have at home.
Read the poems in your homework book.
