English

It is vitally important that the children read for at least 10 minutes every night and also have the opportunity to discuss what they have read. Below, you will find examples of questions you could ask your child to help them to gain a better understanding of what they read.

Spellings are given out on Monday and tested the following Monday. Spelling Lists will be sent to parents via Class Dojo.

Mathematics

My Y5 Maths Group are expected to be able to recall times tables facts rapidly and will be timed on a speed tables test regularly. Their challenge is to beat their score and their time so need to practise their tables often.
