Welcome to Year 5 2026-2027
This is the place where you will find out about what we have been up to in class, information about work and routines and also pictures of our fab pupils learning.
The page should contain all of the information you should need throughout the year and includes a box where you can contact school if you have any questions. As the year progresses, further down the page you will find photos and videos showing what your child has been getting up to in school. We hope you enjoy looking through these and
that you find the resources provided helpful and useful.

In Key Stage 2, children are given weekly homework to enrich their experiences of the curriculum and consolidate learning. Homework will be a literacy or maths task or something relating to the current topic. Homework will be set on Friday on the class page of the school website and the children will need to return their homework books the following Thursday with the work inside. Children can make notes if there is not access to a printer. The homework book will be signed by a member of staff before returning. If your child is finding a set piece challenging, please let us know before the Thursday it is due in. This will ensure that the children are able to complete the piece and build their confidence.
Weekly spelling will be uploaded to this section. Children should practice these ready for the following Friday. We encourage children to read every night and for them to talk about their books with you and what they have read. This greatly helps their understanding of texts. We appreciate that people also have busy lives too, therefore we expect that children are reading 5 out of 7 nights per week. Reading records will be checked and signed on Tuesday and Thursday by a member of staff. Please sign every time your child reads.
We thank you for your support.

Your homework this week is a place value sheet, we have worked incredibly hard this week at place value and I am hoping you can apply this knowledge.

Here you will find the weekly spellings for your child. Pupils will be given the spellings on a Monday morning and tested on them the following Friday. If your child requires a different set of spellings to the ones posted on here they will be given them in class to bring home.

Welcome to the Year 5 homework page. In addition to the daily reading and spelling practise, homework will be posted here each Friday and due the following Thursday. Pupils have a homework book in which they can complete their work.
Homework will usually be linked to something we have been looking at in class. As a rough guide it should take about 20 minutes although some pupils will want to spend longer on it.
If pupils are struggling with it I will happily talk it through with them at school if they make me aware before the Thursday it is due in.
Please feel free to work with your child on their homework: some of the tasks might require a little adult assistance!
Thank you.
Friday 16th January
This week pupils have a comprehension task. The reading skill they are focussing on is clarity. This links to our study of The Lady of Shalott. If any pupils are finding this difficult they should let me know before Thursday and we can have a look together.
