Homework Expectations

In Year 5, children are expected to read for at least 15 minutes each day with at home. Please can this be recorded in their reading records daily. This is a crucial element to the children’s progression in school. If children are not showing that they are reading consistently at home (with it written in their diary), then they will be asked to attend reading club on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday break time for 10 minutes. 

Year 5 children will be given a weekly spelling list with activities that focuses on the spelling pattern we are learning that week. Homework is due in on a Friday and we will have a spelling test every Friday and record scores to track progress. Please make sure your child is practicing these spelling words each week. In addition to spelling, children are required to go onto TimesTable Rockstars and compete in a Year group competition each week. It is important that children are able to have a quick recall of times table facts including the inverse
