Over the summer, we keep a log of all the different texts you read. These can be books, newspapers, journals, magazines, online articles, comics etc.
SPAG – Recap Basics
In the SPAG folder we have included some SPAG work for you to recap through just to keep the knowledge of all the basics secure before you move on to the harder stuff in Year 6.

Key Information
PE Lessons – PE kits are now to be worn to school on the days we have PE. This half-term year 5 PE days will be on a Tuesday and Thursday. Children must be dressed in appropriate clothing. Jumpers, tracksuit bottoms, trainers. Please ensure your child also brings a winter jacket to school during the winter months. As temperatures can vary each day.
Water bottles - Please ensure your child is bringing in a named water bottle every day.
Reading Books - Reading books and records should be brought to school daily. We encourage children to read every day to support the development of their reading fluency and exposure to rich vocabulary. Please ensure you are encouraging your child to be independent with their reading record but that you do sign it too. Once children have read a whole book they then complete the quiz on Accelerated Reader before choosing a new book.
Pencil Cases - Children are welcome to bring a pencil case to school, however it will need to stay in their locker and only be used in the class when the teacher advises. All stationary needed for daily lessons is provided.
Homework

Reading comprehension, grammar and punctuation - Children will be using the targeted practice books. We aim to always make the homework relevant to children learning in class but also varied content. Children will be advised which pages they are expected to complete.
SPAG.com will sometimes be used and children are provided with login details.
Maths - This will be set on a weekly basis. Maths tasks will be set on MyMaths and/or in the Targeted Practice book. The children will be advised which tasks they are expected to complete.
