Reading

Each child has a reading diary and reading book matched to their reading ability. Please listen to your child and/or encourage your child to read independently at least three times per week. They will then earn a loop on their reading chain each time they read three times so the more they read the better! They all also have access to Reading Eggs which gives your child a range of reading activities, including an extensive library of books tailored to their needs. 

Year 5 Homework Booklets must be signed by parents each week for your child to earn their points and rewards.

They are expected to complete:

Creative task x1 

Reading Common Exception Words x5 – speed read your common exception words daily to collect up to 5 house points each week. 

Spellings x3 – this can be on www.spellingframe.co.uk and/or on paper which has the dates they practiced to show that they have done so 3 times in the week. 

Mental maths x3 – this can be on https://ttrockstars.com/ and/or on paper which has the dates they practiced to show that they have done so 3 times in the week. 

Year 6 Homework Expectations

Maths: one section in their homework book, so week one ‘Numbers to 10,000’ section on p2-5, week two ‘Numbers to 100,000’ on p6-9 etc.

Reading at least three times but extra house points and reading chains gained for more reads a week – one of these is a completed comprehension in their reading homework book, the other 4 can be their reading book with their reading diary signed by them or an adult, completed lessons on Reading Eggs or a combination of both.

Wednesday Homework Club 

Please remember that Mrs Hallsworth runs a Year 6 homework club each Wednesday where children can work together and access adult support with their homework tasks. This is especially helpful for those who find it hard to find the time or motivation to work independently at home. 

PE

PE will be on a Tuesday and a Thursday so please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit appropriate for the weather and that everything is clearly labelled. All jewellery must be removed. 

Water Bottles

Please ensure your child has named water bottle in school at all times.

Any questions or concerns, please come and have a chat after school or call the office and leave a message. We are really happy to help and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible.

We really look forward to supporting your children through this very important year!

Mrs Booth and Mrs Hallsworth xx
