Homework and Spellings
Term 3
We would like to stress the importance of the Year 5 children knowing their times tables up to 12 x 12 by heart. Being fluent in times tables facts can reduce cognitive overload in maths lessons and can allow children process new information more freely. Although we practise times tables twice a day in school, we would recommend that the children use TT Rockstars at home as well.
We would also like to encourage the children to read at home at least three times a week, as this will help them to become more fluent, allowing them to access information and texts in school, as well as preparing them for Year 6 and later life. This can be recorded in their reading diary.
Below, you can find links to TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed, as well as documents showing high frequency spellings, year group spelling lists and weekly spellings. Please speak to your child's class teacher if you are unsure of which spellings your child should be focusing on.
As well as this, there may be times where subject-specific homework is set, which will be sent home with the children and uploaded below.
Thank you for supporting your child's learning at home.
