Important information about the class is in the grid below. The long term plan for the year is attached below along with the homework grid, Year 3 and 4 and Year 5 and 6 spellings lists and some ways to practise spellings.
The children will be bringing home a sheet with highlighted Y5 and 6 words to practise. They will bring home words to learn for their spelling test every Thursday. Please can they learn them before the test the following Thursday. There will also be EDshed activities to help them practise their spellings set weekly. They will have some maths activities on Edshed too. These will be set on Fridays to be completed by the following Thursday.

| What are procedures for reading books? | Children will have the opportunity to change their reading book on Wednesdays and other days if needed. Children will receive a book from the reading scheme or a free reader depending on their ability. The frequency children change books will depend on the book the children are reading. We understand children may need to keep a longer book for more than a week. However, please remind your child to read their book at home and change it as often as possible. |
