Your child will receive their spelling homework on a Friday. Please can all children practise their weekly spellings, in time for their spelling test the following Friday. 

Maths Homework:

The children in Y5/6 class are expected to be regularly logging onto My Maths and completing the weekly activities online. There is also optional Maths homework which will be sent out with spellings.

Reading:

Your child has a school reading book and an individual reading journal. Please can we encourage as much reading at home as possible and a comment written from you when you can. Thank you.

Your child will be given a login for Times Tables Rock stars, an exciting online tool to help them to learn times tables. Your child will have a weekly times tables test on a Thursday and we thank you in advance for your support in helping them to prepare for this. 

Dojo homework:

This can be found on the homework tab at the top of this page and on ClassDojo. While this is not compulsary, it's a great way to learn more about our topic and earn Dojo points to convert in our shop at the end of term.
