Spellings
Spellings will normally be issued each Friday and tested the following Friday. Your child will bring home with them a spelling list each week but not their spelling book, this will stay in school. They will also bring home a look, say, cover, write, check sheet, this is to practice their spellings and does not have to be returned to school.
In school, we will spend time each day learning the weekly spellings. In addition, each week there will be a spelling quiz set for homework. This can be accessed through the PurpleMash website and will feature in your child’s To Do list (they will be shown in school how to easily access this).

Reading
The children will be expected to read regularly at home. Although we encourage the children to read regularly, this may only be a couple of pages or 5 to 10 minutes. We are now asking that home reading is recorded on Microsoft Teams using the Class Notebook feature (this can be found in the General channel), your child has been shown how this works in school. If for any reason you are unable to access Teams, please send a weekly message on SeeSaw with details of home reading completed.
Games and PE
All PE/games lessons are currently taking place outdoors and your child should attend school in the PE/games kit on the day of their lessons (they will stay in this kit for the day). Year 5 will have PE/games lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
