Homework
In Year 5, Children will be given Reading, Spelling and TT Rockstars homework. Children will be set spellings on Friday ready to be tested the following Friday.
Children who are on the reading scheme are also required to read to an adult 5x a week with an adult signature acknowledging this in the reading record.
Children who are free readers are required to read 3x a week with an adult signature acknowledging this in the reading record.
Times Tables
Children take part in weekly times tables tests to help track their progress and identify any areas where they may need extra support. After each test, Ping messages are sent to parents and carers to share results and updates.
It’s really important that children practise regularly at home each week, as this helps to build confidence, improve accuracy and prepare them for future learning. Consistent practice makes a big difference to their progress and understanding.
We use Times Table Rock Stars to support their rapid recall of these. All children have a login and are encouraged to use it as often as they can.
