Homework Expectations

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. In addition to this, children receive a page of Maths homework per week. This goes home on a Tuesday and must be back in school the following Monday (it will be marked every Tuesday). Each half term the children will be given some Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRF) to learn,  which relate to their Maths.  The focus for this half term will knowing the multiplication facts for all of the times tables up to the 12 times tables.
