  • Year 5 will need to wear their outdoor uniform on the following days: Thursday and Friday.

Homework

  • Reading: 20-25 minutes independent reading daily to be recorded in the Homework Reading folder on Showbie. Once they have finished their book, children should write a review to include the title and author, the plot and what they liked or disliked about the book.  These can be a voice note or text note in the same Showbie folder.  
  • Times tables: to be practised daily for ten minutes using TT Rockstars or an alternative method.
  • Spellings: to be practised using Spelling Shed or an alternative method. a weekly test on Friday 

Please do get in touch if you are unable to access any of these online platforms.

 

Reading

  • We strive to foster a love of books through all of our lessons and in the reading books chosen by the children. 
  • Children will have the opportunity to read for pleasure in school every day so they will always need to have a book with them. 
  • Children are welcome to bring a book from home or to choose from our class library.

 

Times tables

  • Children will be revisiting all of the times tables in Year 5 in order to increase fluency. 
  • All children have a TT Rockstars account which they should used as a part of their homework.
