Spellings

Your child will receive spelling homework every Friday. These spellings should be learnt over the week ready for a spelling test the following Friday. Children will also need to write a sentence using each of the words to ensure understanding of the correct spelling words, these are due in every Thursday.

Reading Record

Your child has been given a reading record which they need to complete x3 weekly using destination reader stems, after at least 15 minutes of reading a day. Please ensure that you read with your child on as many occasions a week as you can. It is the most effective academic help you can provide.

If you missed our Year 5 start of year online meeting please see the slide on the right.
