Home learning

Reading:

We read with the children in school on a daily basis at school.

Please also encourage our child to read every day at home. Your child will benefit from reading a book silently by themselves but also out loud to you or another family member. Discuss their book with them and check any new vocabulary. When your child has completed their book they should then complete the quiz about their book in school in order to share and check their understanding.

 

Spellings:

New spellings will come home every Tuesday for your children to learn. They can use the look, say, cover, write, check method to do this. (Or any other method which works for them)

Spelling sheets need to be returned to school for the following Monday and children will be tested on their words.  

Times tables:

By year 5, children should be confident at recalling their times tables up to 12 x 12, including division facts. We use times tables daily in class and they are important in so many areas of the curriculum. It is improtant that they continue to practise and they can use Times Tables Rock Stars or any other method they prefer. Every child should have a log on for Times Tables Rock Stars. https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/64009
