Y5 Homework

Reading

Children are asked to read at home with an adult at least four times each week and parents are asked to date and sign each entry in their Reading Record each week to confirm their child has read at least four times.

 

Spelling 

Each week, your child will be given a list of spellings to practise at home. We would like your child to carry out at least two of the activities suggested below each week. Please sign their spelling books to show they have done this. A list of our weekly spellings for Spring 2 can be found below.

Maths

Children are asked to rehearse the times tables weekly using times tables rock stars. This includes 15 minutes practice in the Garage and 2 minutes in the Studio each week during term time. The best way to complete this is 'little and often' throughout the week.

 

Topic Project

In addition to the weekly times tables and reading homework, children will be set a topic related project at the start of each half term. Children who choose to complete the project will have the opportunity to share this with the class. You can view the homework using the link below!
