To help your child at home, you are asked to complete home learning each week:

• Reading at least three times a week and recording this in the reading record (on the left hand page)
• Rehearsing the phonics sounds on the flashcards your child comes home with (note that this is not applicable to all children)
• Rehearsing spellings – please keep the file in your child’s book bag, we will give them a new sheet each Monday and you will be able to see their scores in the weekly spelling test.
• Times tables practice. To help with this you have a Times Tables Rock Stars account.  In year 5 we expect all children to achieve independence in the times tables up to 12 x 12 and the associated division facts.
