Following the email sent home by Mrs Derrer, we are once again sending on-line homework This focuses on work we have done in school this week and should be completed by Wednesday 10th November.
The work is on purple mash and all children have been sent home a password and login. This week the children have one English task on modal verbs, and two number tasks which have their year group assigned to them.
In addition to the on-line homework, children should be reading for 20 minutes at least 5 times a week. Whilst we appreciate that in year 5/6 they often want to read to themselves, please discuss their books with them , and hear them read aloud occasionally. Many of our children are voracious readers and it is wonderful to hear them recommending books to each other. We will be setting up a blog on purple mash for children to tell us about their favourite books. Remember statistics show that children who read widely as a child are more likely to be economically successful in later life!
Children also have spellings each week and should know how to put them in a sentence that makes sense. This week is common homophones that children (and adults) often use incorrectly.
Times tables underpin so much of the maths work we do in year 5/6. They can easily become rusty so keep practising!
Thank you for all your continued support.
