Welcome to 5KA/GW!

Welcome to our class page.

Below is some key information that you may find useful.

Reading books

Once every term, children sit a Star Reader assessment which helps in identifying an appropriate book level for them. Every day, the children are given time to read a book of their choice (based on their suggested book level). Once the children have read their books, they can sit an AR quiz which adds to their points total if they score 80% or above. We ask that they spend some time reading at home - whether that’s their AR book, or in the form of a comic, magazine or a non-fiction book (anything that sparks their interest in reading).

Spellings

Spellings are handed out weekly and the spelling test is on a Friday. Please make sure your child is practising their spellings regularly. The 'Look, say, cover, write' sheet given out each Friday is due back in, completed, the following Thursday.

Times Tables
Rapid recall of times table facts is an essential skill in maths. The children all have TTRockstars accounts and they can join in to battle it out against the other Year 5 classes.  Below are some other useful times table links.

Home Learning

Each child will be given a page to complete in their home learning book every Friday.  This is due back in (marked by the child) the following Thursday.
