All home learning will be set here every Friday and will be tested the following Friday.

Spellings

This week’s words to learn are:

Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum lists, these are words your child has to know by the end of Year 5.   Please encourage them to practise at home during the week, and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.  The tests are linked to spelling objectives and learning during the week.

Mental Maths Facts

This week’s facts to learn are:

Numbers multiplied to the power of 2 (squared numbers)

You will be tested next Friday on numbers multiplied to the the power of 2 up to 12 x 12.

i.e. 1 to the power of 2  = 1 x 1.  7 to the power of 2 = 7 x 7.

On Friday after school, please ask your child their score. We’ll send a slip with their results recorded home every week.
