Homework 28.03.25

Due to us doing mock SATs next week, I have lessened the homework expectations for this week. There will be no IXL units to complete.

Please complete by Wednesday 2nd April . I will check that all online homework has been completed on Thursday morning.

  • HOME READING! You should be reading at home at least 3 or 4 times a week. Please ensure your reading record is signed from someone at home too so we can keep a record of how frequently you are reading. I would love to see more people receiving reading awards for filling their bookmarks!

  • Bedrock (https://app.bedrocklearning.org/) Please complete at least one lesson.

  • TT Rockstars (https://ttrockstars.com/)- practise regularly. There is a new competition between all the schools in the academy open now. Good luck!

    Next Thursday, you will be tested on a selection of multiplication/divisions questions from all your timetables up to 12x12.

  • Spellings:

    Spellings for this week 21.03.25

    (You will be tested on these on 28.03.25)

    As we are nearing SATs and any year 5/6 spellings could come up on the spelling test, I will now be testing the class on 15 random spellings from this list. I know there are a lot of spellings on those lists so do not feel like you have to spend hours revising all of them. I would focus on the ones that you repeatedly misspell or struggle to remember. We will also be practicing these spellings in class. Below I have attached a list of all of the spellings, with space to practice and make note if you got them right or wrong. I have sent a paper copy of these home with each child, so they can use them as a revision guide too. I will continue to test on random spellings for the rest of this half term. I have also attached a copy of the Year3/4 spellings for reference, so they can see what spellings they are expected to know throughout KS2. I will not be testing on the Year 3/4 spellings this term, however.
