 Weekly homework

Reading Records - 4 reads per week

Pupils can record their reading  books from home, books from the classroom and books from the school or local library. Each pupil should read at least four times a week for 15-20mins each time, and record the date, the book title and the pages which have been read. The comment section should be used to share facts that can only be found by reading those pages. Reading records will be checked on a Wednesday.

(Below) An example of a well presented Y5 reading record

 

Weekly Spellings

Below are the spellings we will teach in Year 5. They include a mixture of Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 spellings, in order to consolidate and teach new words. In addition to these spellings, we teach the children new spelling sounds and rules each week. Please look at these spellings each week to support your child with their learning.

Statutory Spellings

Across the academic year there are certain key words that Y5 should learn to spell and use in their creative writing - these are the words in the statutory lists for Y5 & Y6. Pupils should also continue to show that they can spell and use the words from the statutory lists for Y3 & Y4.
