In Year 5, children are expected to read every night at home in order to develop their fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. All children have a homework diary in which they should record which page of their book they are up to.
This Year children will also be bringing home Spelling Homework. The spelling lists to learn will be given out at the start of each half term, and the children will be tested on the words each Monday. The children will be practising these words in school but it is important they also practise at home. The words will be uploaded to SpellingFrame each week so the children can practise them in a fun and engaging way!
In addition to this, children receive a page of Maths homework per week. This goes home on a Wednesday after it is marked, and must be back in school the following Tuesday. Each half term the children will also be given some Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRF) to learn. These will be tested at the end of each Half Term.
Children also have access to Times Tables RockStars which they are expected to practise to maintain the times table fluency they achieved in Year 4.
If you have any questions about homework, or how best to support your child at home, please get in touch and we will support any way we can.
In Year 5 will have P.E. every Monday and Thursday afternoon. Thursday’s session will take place in school with On-Side Coaching. Please ensure that your child is wearing the correct kit, which includes: a school P.E. t-shirt and jumper; plain black shorts or plain black jogging bottoms and trainers. Please ensure your child brings in a drinks bottle.
Children should continue to use the log-in information they have already been assigned with when accessing the above sites.
