Remote Learning
In the event of your child testing positive, we will provide a remote home learning package for the duration of their isolation period. This will contain a mixture of online and offline activities. All lesson materials your child needs, will be uploaded into Google Classroom for your child to access using their usual Google Classroom login details.
In Year 5, homework will be sent home to parents on a Wednesday, in the form of a weekly letter. Children will be given up to 3 pieces. To encourage independence, children will use a homework diary.
Reading: Please encourage your child to read a variety of texts. It is important that children are reading regularly to develop fluency as children are expected to read increasingly longer texts with greater speed. We expect Year 5 children to be reading at home every day, sometimes independently and sometimes with an adult. Vocabulary is important so exploring the meaning of unfamiliar words is beneficial.
Spelling: Spelling is a high priority for Year 5 and will be taught and practiced in class on a regular basis. Children will also receive regular spelling homework each Wednesday.
A weekly learning overview letter will be sent via SchoolComms each Wednesday.
