Homework (set Friday 3rd September due in Wednesday 8th September)

For your first week's homework we want to establish some routines. So the homework for this week is:

• To read and record your reading in your new reading record. This was sent home on Friday. We will collect the reading records in every Friday to check that the homework (to read 4 times a week and have a parent write/sign the record at least once a week) has been completed.
• To log onto Times Table Rockstars (TTR) and play some Garage, complete some Studio sessions. We want you to start getting back up to speed! 
• To use the pupil and family log in codes/QR codes which we sent home on Friday to get logged on and set up on the Seesaw app.

 If you have any questions please get in touch.

Hello Year 5/6, 

Today, you were given the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 statutory spellings. Over the half term, we would like you to choose 5 words a day to learn from either list. 40 words in total over the week. Please choose words you do not already know. To help learn them please use the spelling strategies: rainbow writing, draw round the word, look, cover, write, check, consonants only, vowels only, speed writing, pyramid words and drawing round words. We understand that some children struggle more with spellings that others but please just try your best!

We will continue to revise the words in school after half term before starting to test you on the words. 

Do not worry if you have lost the sheet. The words can be found on Seesaw, on the website, in your reading records and on the internet. 

Let us know if you have any questions, 

Have a lovely half term, 

Year 5/6 team
