The information below provides details about the areas of learning that your child will cover in Year 5. Children are expected to meet these requirements by the end of Year 5. These are based on the guidance from the National Curriculum 2014.
Children are given a reading book appropriate to their level, which they are expected to read daily. Please write in your child’s contact book when they have finished reading it so the teacher knows when to change it. Your child will receive weekly English and Maths homework which is based around their learning in class. They will be given this on Thursday and expected to return it by Tuesday of the following week. There will also be spelling lists given each week from the Year 5/6 spelling list.
