Spelling lessons and practice in school
Test is usually on a Thursday
At the end of each half term the children do a Secret 5 spelling test- they receive a housepoint for each spelling they get correct
The aim of secret 5 is that the children retain the spellings they have learnt over a longer period rather than just learning them for the sake of that weeks test.

9. Homework… Alternating Maths homework Alternating English homework
Weekly spellings/handwriting
Weekly times tables to learn
Every time your child has 20x reads recorded in their
home-school diary, they earn a housepoint
Home-school diaries
N.B Details of homework will be uploaded on to the year group website page each week.
In year five reading is really focused on the comprehension and understanding of what they have read so it is important that children continue to practise their fluency and expression by reading aloud at home.

10. During the Summer… Continue reading a range of genres
Practise times tables
Ensure your child can tell the time using analogue and digital clocks
Practise Y3/4 statutory spellings
We would like to create a shared area display from the summer treasure hunt activities so if the children can bring in any photos or leaflets etc, that would be great. We have set up a year group address which is on the bottom of the summer treasure hunt for you to send photos to if you do not have access to a printer.
