The children should be reading at least 5X a week and their reading records need to be signed once a week by an adult. If they read 5x a week they will receive house points and will also receive a raffle ticket to be in a chance of winning an end of term prize. 

Spellings will be set and tested weekly and students are encouraged to practise their times tables at home. 

Year 5 also now have the opportunity to take extra learning home. In class, they can help themselves to a range of maths and English questions that they will have time to mark themselves on a Friday morning. This is optional but recommended for students if they need extra practise.
