In Year 5, the home learning is as follows:

Reading: Your child should be reading 5x a week (and read to them as much as you can too). Please sign their yellow reading diary and ensure it is brought to school each day. Reading less than 5x a week will result in lost play time.

English: Each child will be given a CGP book to develop their grammar and punctuation knowledge. Each week, your child must complete a grammar and punctuation task. We will set an activity page every Monday, which will be due in the following Monday. If homework tasks are not handed in, children will complete them during play time.

Maths: There will be weekly MyMaths online activities. Simply login and the new task will be ready. Most of the time, the activity will link to what the children have covered in class either that week or the previous half term. On occasion, activities will be based on what the children may have done in previous year groups to consolidate existing skills.

Children also have access to Times Tables Rockstars from home to develop their times tables knowledge ready for tests on Fridays. Letters with your child's login details were sent home w/c 1.9.25. The children's logins are also stuck on the inside cover of their yellow reading records.

Spellings: There will be a spelling test every Friday. Group 1 always have 10 spellings. Group 2 are the shorter listed spellings. Spelling evidence must be present in your child's spelling book. If your child has practised their spellings verbally, a parental signature must be present in your child's spelling book. No evidence of spelling practice will result in a loss of play time.

Each week's spellings will be posted below and paper copies are available in school throughout the week. If your child is absent and does not have a copy of their new spellings, please ask your child to collect one from the Y5 notice board or check this section of the website.
