Class 5

As I write this, we have just finished our few days of working in the next door room to support year 6 in their SATs exams. Year 6 are very grateful, and it will be lovely for us to get back to our own room on a regular basis!

Please find the latest home learning below, and once again, thank you for all your support with home learning. The more your child accesses these simple tasks, the more confident they will feel in their general learning. It really does make a noticeable difference in the classroom so do please keep reminding them about home learning club if you feel this would help them to do it every week.

All the best,

Miss Newman

Home Learning to be handed in on Tuesday 19th May

This week the children have been set an activity named ‘Angles 3’ on MyMaths. It is not our intention for home learning to cause unnecessary anxiety in the household, therefore if there are any concerns, please ensure you speak to the teacher in advance of the Tuesday deadline to ensure we can put the necessary support in place.

Weekly expectations

Times tables

Reading

Please ensure your child practises their times tables daily on TTRS. This only needs to be for 5/ 10 minutes per day but daily practice is proven to lead to greater fluency.

Please ensure your child has read a minimum of 5 times and logged it into their reading record. Reading is the key to them accessing the full curriculum and they will struggle with further learning without the necessary practice.

Spellings- these will be tested on Thursdays. Please ensure they have been practised prior to this.

Group A: Words that are homophones or near homophones

Group B: Challenge words
