We recommend that children in Year 5 read at home daily for at least 30 minutes.

As well as supporting your child with their daily reading, we encourage parents to support their child at home by:

• Supporting your child with their weekly homework
• Encouraging writing through journals, creative stories, or letters
• Playing word games like Scrabble or Boggle to expand vocabulary
• Using real-life maths, like measuring ingredients while cooking or calculating shopping costs
• Practising spellings, times tables and mental maths with fun apps or flashcards
• Playing maths-based board games like Monopoly or Sudoku

Homework is given out on a Friday and should be handed in by the following Wednesday. Homework will consist of Maths work and a more general piece of work based on their current unit of work.

At the beginning of each half-term, differentiated spellings will be handed out. They will be tested weekly on Fridays.

Our allocated days for PE this year are:

5CW 5PH 5GT	Monday (swimming) - autumn term
5CW 5PH 5GT	Thursday (indoor)

Please ensure that your child arrives at school in the correct  PE kit on these days.

Swimming will take place every Monday in the autumn term.

At times, you may wish to discuss your child's learning, progress or wellbeing with their class teacher in more detail than is possible at the beginning or end of the school day. To support this, we offer weekly Teacher Surgeries, providing parents and carers with the opportunity to meet with their child's class teacher by appointment.
