Year 5 Homework

Core:

Reading: Your child will select a book at school from the coloured book bands. We expect your child to read this at home everyday. In addition to this they may choose a book from the class book corner.

Spellings: Every Friday the children receive their spellings for the following week's test. They should practise reading, saying and writing the spellings before writing them into a sentence to ensure they understand the meaning and contexts the word can be used in.

Times Tables: Children have an online login for TT Rockstars. This is a fantastic program that allows children to continue to practise the times tables and  related division facts learnt in Year 4. It is important that your child regularly practises the multiplication tables to 12. 

Beyond:

Mathletics: On a Friday the children will be set maths homework from Mathletics. Sometimes the homework will be set for two weeks as we will be learning and consolidating understanding of the concept. However once the children have completed the set tasks they are free to play on the games that they choose. 

Topic based: Every two weeks the children will be given homework that is topic based. This homework will cover a variety of subjects and activities for the children to work from. Some will involve research which you as a parent may like to help with, but some is completely independent and may involve drawing or writing poetry. This homework should be completed in the green homework books. There will also be opportunities when children can present their homework to the class either physically or using the Google Classroom.
