Homework
The children are given one piece of literacy and numeracy homework each week. This is given out on a Friday and expected back in on the following Wednesday. This allows children the opportunity to speak to their teacher on a Monday or Tuesday if further guidance is needed. They are also given weekly spellings which link into the year 5 word level activities. We would also advice regular reading and times tables practice at home.
The passports scheme from Year 4 is not administered in a formal way, but we would encourage the children to use their passports as a reference.
Over the course of year 5 three research projects are set. The children are given a few weeks to complete each one and these replace the usual homework. These link into our modular work:
Autumn – Rayleigh
Spring - Rivers
Summer – Tudor Life
