Key Information

Homework:

Maths: Maths homework will be given out on a Friday and is due in the following Friday. This will usually be an arithmetic booklet, which is really good for practising the core knowledge needed within the Upper KS2 maths curriculum. Every so often, we may give something linked to specific area of maths to further consolidate skills!

Times Tables: We encourage children to play on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) each week. Ideally, this should be a small amount of daily practice, following the 'little but often' rule. Children have been given their personal logins, which can be found in their reading records, to access at home.

Reading: We are working hard to become a reading community in Year 5 where reading is a passion for everyone! The children have a fluency chart in their reading records to allow them to focus on developing an area of their own reading fluency. Please encourage reading a range of texts at home, which may involve you listening to your child, allowing them to read independently but also them having the chance to listen to you too! Each child will bring a text of their choice home as their reading for pleasure text. We will be supporting the children in keeping a reading journey in their reading record so please ensure they have it in school each day. 

Spellings: Will be given out on a Friday and tested the following Friday.

Physical Education (PE)

Spring term: Gymnastics with CUFC happening Monday afternoons. We please ask though, for PE kits to be in at ALL times to allow for additional Physical Activities to take place if needed.
