Homework

Homework will be set on Mondays and will be due in on the following Monday.

It is important that all homework is completed and handed in on time.
Reading records and red homework books need to be brought in on Monday's for teachers to check. 

Homework for this week is: 

Reading

• Please read 5x and record in the reading diary. You can read a book from school or choose an age appropriate book from home.
   
• Children will need to record the date of reading, name of book and write a short comment in the box in the record to reflect what they liked or disliked about the book. Adults will need to sign the reading record each week 
    
• Suggestions of what to write can be found below. 

Spellings  

• Please write out your spellings neatly in your homework book 5x and learn the words carefully.
  Make sure you know the meanings of the words.

Maths 

Times Table Rockstars 

• In Year 5, we will be prioritising arithmetic homework over Times Table Rockstars.
  We do encourage children to continue to practise their tables however we will not be setting a time limit. Instead, we expect arithmetic homework to be completed to the standard expected in school.

These will be marked in class

If you have any problems with your homework, you can email the office and teachers will get back to you as soon as possible.
