Homework teaches our pupils to work independently and develop self-discipline, whilst at the same time encouraging children to take initiative and responsibility for completing a task. We encourage all parents to have an active role in their child's education through homework which helps you to evaluate your child's progress.
Homework is given out every Wednesday.
Spellings - spellings Year 5/6 rules, but also revision of Year 3/4 spellings. Short bursts of spelling practice of new words every night is best for learning them! Spelling test in the form of a short dictation will take place on a Thursday. New spellings will be given out on a Friday.
Homework to be completed by the following Wednesday. This gives children ample time to complete their tasks even if they have clubs/activities on at the weekend or may be visiting other relatives.
Listening to your child read as often as possible is essential in Year 5. This only needs to be a short paragraph with you asking some questions about what your child has read to make sure they have understood what the text was about. We expect children to read a minimum of 4 times a week to an adult who can ask them appropriate questions. This must be recorded in your children’s reading record and handed into school in the morning.
