WELCOME TO YEAR 5

HOMEWORK

We have weekly homework for Year 5 to embed learning in the following areas:

• Reading
• Spellings
• Tables

Reading - Please encourage your child to read at least 10 minutes daily. If you could ensure that your child brings their reading book to school every day. 

Spellings - Weekly spellings are given out every Monday, alongside a weekly test. We will also share the spellings via seesaw. The children can practice the spellings via the ‘Spelling shed’ app for which your child has an individual login.

Tables - We also encourage the use of the ‘TT Rockstars’ app which allows your child to learn times tables in a fun way, again your child has an individual login for this.

If you are experiencing any problems using any of these apps do not hesitate to contact us and we will help you out. For those children without access to a tablet, phone or computer we provide extra opportunities during the normal school day.

HALF TERM HOMEWORK GRID

Each half term we will provide an additional homework grid, with a range of different activities that support the different subjects and learning that we will be covering. These activities are optional and can be completed anytime with the half term. 

PE KITS

We have weekly PE sessions. Please come to school in your PE kit. Our PE days is Thursday.

We believe in working in partnership with parents is the best way for your child to feel safe and happy at school. No issue is ever too small, so do not hesitate to contact us. You can contact us either through Seesaw or at the end of the school day.
