Home Learning
Y5/6
Reading- children should spend at least 10 minutes 5 times a week reading out loud to an adult. If they are a strong reader it may be more appropriate for children to read independently with an adult engaging with them to challenge their skills of deduction, prediction, inference, and so on. Notes will be kept on how much children are reading over the half-term and certificates will be awarded for those who have read the most.Home learning books will be checked for reading on a Friday and must be signed by an adult.
Spellings- Children will be tested on 10 words each week from the list here. The Y3/4 list is here. The spelling test will be on a Friday. Spelling Frame is a great site to practise your spellings.
Topic/ GPAS/ Science- will be set on a Monday for the following Monday. The topic will change (some weeks GPAS and others may be science).
Maths - Learn all times tables by Christmas.
MyMaths and Sumdog are optional fun activities that can really fire up children with maths.
