Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back after the Christmas break. We are looking forward to a fabulous term of learning in Year 5. Below, you will find information about homework and routines, our year group curriculum letter and the class assembly dates for year 5. There are also links to helpful resources and websites.
Homework & Routines
Homework will be set on Thursday and should be completed by the following Monday. Homework will include spelling homework on Google Classroom, times tables practice on TT Rockstars and daily reading.
Reading at home is very valuable and we encourage children to read regularly as part of their homework. Around 30 minutes each evening is recommended. However, please do not read the class texts on which their learning journeys are based on at home. We will enjoy reading them with the children in school. Thank you.
These are our homework expectations:
- reading daily (20-30 minutes every day).
- spellings to learn and be tested on once a week.
- Times Table Rockstars at least once a week.
Please ensure that your child brings their Reading Record into school, with a comment, each day.
Things to remember:
Children should come to school in PE kits on their PE days. Year 5 have their PE on:
Monday is outdoor PE.
Wednesday is indoor PE.
PE kit should include dark tracksuit joggers or shorts, a white T-shirt and trainers.
