Homework
Instead of homework folders, I will be setting homework through Google Classroom this year. Homework will be set on a Thursday and due on a Tuesday. I will be showing everyone how this will work in class.
Reading
Ideally, the children should be reading at home every day for a minimum of 15 minutes. I find it is helpful to tie this into a routine when going to bed.
Spellings
Spelling tests will take place on a Friday. Spelling patterns are studied in Year 5. Students will need to find more words relating to the spelling pattern to study. If they have studied the pattern, they will be able to write the unseen words in the test.
