Remember: I have high expectations of you, so you must have high expectations of yourself. Hand in work which you are proud of.
Let your parents help and support you with your homework - learning is learning and getting advice and help is not cheating; it just shows you are thinking about what you need to improve.
However, don't let your parents actually DO your homework for you; I don't want to mark their ideas, I want to see yours. If you're stuck, just come and tell me on Monday and we'll look at it again together - don't wait until Tuesday or Wednesday.

It's important to remember not to learn your spelling for a one-off test - we are learning them so we will build up our accuracy in spellings for whenever we write.
This term we will also be continually returning to those useful words in the Year 5/6 Spelling list from the National Curriculum. Heres a list for your quick reference.
It's good to practise these words whenever you get the chance.
