Each week, there will be an English and Maths task.
When completing your homework, upload a clear photo if you can. If you need an exercise book with lines or squares to help you, please ask and we will provide you with one. If you are unable to upload photos, bring your homework book into school for your teacher to look at. 
 
Remember to tell us if there are any technical issues stopping you from accessing your Google Classroom
Homework
English and Maths homework will be set on Google Classrooms. Homework will be set each Friday and needs to be completed by the following Thursday morning. Spellings will be set each Friday (along with your homework) and you will be tested on the following Friday.
Spellings
Your weekly spellings will be available on your Google Classroom. A spelling test will take place each week on a Friday. Along with your weekly spellings, remember to continue to practise the Year 5 and 6 spellings (find the doc. below). 
Reading
Our aim is to read at least three times per week. Any reading should be recorded in your Reading Record. Super Readers read a range of genres including fiction and non-fiction. You could read chapter books, magazines, comics, fact books or even information about a certain topic online.
 
Just remember, if you've read it: record it!

PE
Our PE session takes place on a Monday and Thursday for ALL classes this term.
You must come to school in your PE kit on your PE day.
 
Please make sure your PE kit includes: a plain top (plain white, purple or black),  shorts (warmer weather) or joggers (colder weather) and a change of suitable footwear (daps or trainers). If a jumper is worn, it must be a school jumper (no hoodies please). 
 
Please make sure all items of clothing are named. 
Times Table Rock-stars
 
You all have your own login details for TT Rock-stars (they have not changed and are the same as Year 4). You should be continuing to play this at home.
 
Who will be the TT Rock-stars champions (most improved, biggest earner, fasted speed and star of the week) in your Maths group...?
