Year Five Homework
Reading
The most important thing you can do to help your child is to read with them everyday.
Your child needs to read with an adult every night. Please practise reading aloud and talk to them about the book.
You can change your book regularly at school.
Each child can do extra reading on Get Epic Your child has been given a class code
Maths
Your child has access to:
MyMaths - this is set by the teacher each week.
Doodle maths - this is set individually for each child at their level of learning.
TT Rockstars - this is to help your child learn their times tables.
You can help your child even more by doing everyday activities at home that need maths. Talk about numbers in sport. How many points does your team need to avoid relegation? How many goals/tries/conversions/points/runs has your team scored this season? Use newspapers. Talk to your child about percentages in special offers, the probability in the weather reports, the length of TV shows and compare the salaries in the jobs section. Cooking. Measure ingredients and set the timer together. Talk about ratio in cooking; increase or decrease the amount of ingredients depending on how many people you are cooking for. Talk about time. For example get them to work out what time you need to leave the house to get to school on time
Reading and maths are very important, but exploring the world and enjoying experiences together are equally important. Talking whilst having fun can accelerate learning in lots of ways. How many of these challenges can you complete in Year 5? Make sure you check with your parents first.
