Expectations

In Year 5 children will bring home a reading book. We expect children to be reading 3 times a week (or more if possible!) and we will check reading diaries once or twice a week. We do ask that an adult signs the reading diaries at least once a week. If it is acknowledged by adults out of school that the children have read 3 or more times a week, a token will be reward for the house teams. 

No written homework will be set on a weekly basis, however, we expect reading to be of high priority so that the stamina for reading longer texts improves. A list of the Year 5 spellings will be available on our class page should the children wish to look at these in advance and practice them at home. 

 

The children be able to access their TT Rockstar accounts from home too - this is an awesome way to learn and revise times table knowledge. There are often competitive challenges in school or across the nation!!

There are also some really good free websites for maths games that are accessible too!
