Homework Expectations
Reading
Please listen to your child read their home reading book each night and ensure that their reading record is signed.
Spellings
Each Tuesday, new spellings will be given out for your child to learn. We recommend a 'little and often' approach to help learning. The spelling test will be on the following Monday.
Times-tables
In years 5 and 6, a secure understand of times tables underpins the majority of objectives covered in maths. A deep understanding of times tables is of a great importance. Like the reading, we recommend a 'little and often' approach to this.
