Year 5 & Year 6 Galley Hill Homework expectations:
Pupils are expected to
- Read - 4x a week and an adult must sign the reading record so we can tick you off.
- Maths worksheet – complete a worksheet linked to the maths that week or based on times tables. Extra homework stickers are available if children also complete Times Table Rock Stars.
- Weekly Creative Homework Task Sheet – once a week.
Homework is issued on Friday and should be returned the following Wednesday.
For ease of access, the weekly homework sheets will also be added to the homework section of the Y5 page.
We would like to remind pupils and adults that as homework is handed out on a Friday, there are 5 afternoons/evenings to complete it before handing it in on Wednesday. Therefore, being busy on a Tuesday night is no excuse for not completing homework as there are 4 other days to complete the tasks.
Spelling is no longer being set for homework as we are working in school to ensure understanding of spelling patterns rather than learning a list of spellings. If you would like examples of the spellings linked to the patterns we are learning in class, you can find them below. Also available is the list of vocabulary-building activities from previous years, should you wish to continue this routine at home.
