Homework KS2 Expectations and Help:

Homework Expectations

Reading: Children are expected to read out loud to an adult every day. Parents/carers are requested to sign home reading records to confirm reading. We ask children to bring their reading book and reading log in to school every day.

Here are 50 recommended reads for Year 5 children: Year-5-Recommended-Reads-Poster-2024

Spelling: Throughout the Year, children complete spelling blocks, each with a different spelling focus. Each week also has a home learning focus.

Timetables: Children are expected to practise their times tables every day. Each child has been provided with a unique login to Times Tables Rockstars.

Skills Sheets: To consolidate the maths and English concepts taught in school, we send maths and grammar/punctuation skills sheets home each Friday.

On occasion, there may be additional homework provided through our Google Classroom. All children have login details – for help with Google Classroom, please click here

PE Days

Year 5 have PE every Monday and Thursday. On PE days, children should come to school wearing their full PE kit. Details of our PE expectations can be found on the PE curriculum page.
