Home Learning -Spring term

Homework for Year 5 and Year 6 will be paper-based. This homework will be given out on a Friday to be returned by the following Thursday. The homework will consolidate current classwork and will consist of work of the following:

- 2 pages of work in the Maths CGP book

- a comprehension in your Comprehension CGP book

If you have any questions about Year 5 and Year 6 homework, please speak to Mr Owen before or after school.

In addition, children are expected to read frequently throughout the week (a minimum of three times). They may also access Freckle, TT Rockstars and Purple Mash and complete activities on Spellshed with the logins they have.

We will continue to use Accelerated Reader to support the children's reading journey; they should complete the associated book quiz each time they complete a book at home. Accelerated Reader will be used as the children's planner. Therefore, they must read and quiz regularly.

Please note - time can be provided in school to complete homework if required- please speak to your child's class teacher who will be happy to help.
