Over half term, try to keep up with your reading📚. We will update diaries and bookmarks when we return to school after half term.

Moon watch - don’t forget to keep note of what the moon looks like each night - if it’s visible! 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘

No online learning will be set for over half term. However, to support our next geography lesson, please complete the following and bring back to school by Tuesday 29th October.🗺️

Draw a neatly detailed map of your route to school (in pencil) labelling roads and important natural and human features along the way. It is not necessary to name all roads or draw all houses/buildings along the way, as there will be too many. For example, you could name the main roads and include your house, trees, fields, places where you cross the road, shops, parks, churches, school crossing patrols. A key of symbols used on your map should be included. These symbols could be in different colours using coloured pencils.

We will be using these maps to create a digital map of your journey to school. So, on the back of your work write down the name of the road and postcode you live on, so you can identify where you live on an ordnance survey map.

Paper will be sent home today for the children to draw out their map.

An example is included below.

Homework expectations in Year 5…

Year 5 will mostly use online learning for their homework this year and on a Wednesday afternoon I will post the details of Year 5’s homework here. Homework should be completed by the following Tuesday ready for spelling and times tables tests. 

Reading

It is the expectation that Year 5 should read regularly (every night if possible and for at least 20 minutes) Please sign your child's reading diary each time they read so that they can collect their bookmark stickers. The children choose books from within their ZPD range and once these are finished they can quiz on their book and this helps us to assess their progress in reading. Reading books and diaries need to be in school every day. Please note that reading diaries will be checked weekly in school, however, please be patient with us whilst we get into routine - all diaries will be updated as soon as we can and children will be rewarded for their reading with stickers on their bookmark. At the end of each half term, certificates will be awarded to children who complete a side of their bookmark. 

Spellings

Spellings will  be a focus of the children’s homework weekly. Your child’s spelling has been assessed so to start with this year, spellings will be taken from the Year 3/4 spelling lists (knowledge of these is still not yet secure for many children) and the Year 5/6 spelling lists. It is really important that the children learn these spellings to improve their writing and to reach the expected standard by the end of Year 6. To support spelling practice, please take a look at this guide to spelling strategies.

In addition to these spellings, which will be found on the homework page of this blog each week, some children (those who we feel need it based on assessment) will also receive personalised spellings that they should focus on each week. These will not be tested weekly but will be assessed at the end of each half term and spellings will then be adjusted accordingly. These spelling lists will be given out each week for the children to take home in their reading diary. These should start coming home next Wednesday.

Times tables

We will continue to work on times tables this year. I know how much work the children put in last year to learn their tables for the Year 4 times table test but now the children need to develop their fluency to enable to recall these facts with quick recall. Being secure in their  times tables makes it far quicker and easier for children to work out maths problems in their heads. Moving beyond using their fingers to work out answers, they'll be able to use their knowledge to quickly solve any multiplication questions which can be applied to many areas of maths. Please ensure your child continues to practise these weekly. They can use TTRockstars to help build up their speed. 

Please take a look at these useful guides to support your child:

The importance of times tables

Times tables - key vocabulary

Top hints for each times table

Strategies to learn times tables

Websites we will use for homework…

IXL English and Maths -Please see letter  that children have brought home. Your child has now used this website in school and should be able to use it at home. They should complete only the stated skills (see below).

Bedrock Vocabulary programme- We’ve not yet used this website. Once the children have had a chance to use it in school, a letter will be sent home with their logins.

TT Rockstars 

Copies of the children’s logins to these sites, once established,  can be found in the front of the children’s reading diaries so that they can gain access at home.
