Thursday 26th March

There is no topic task or spellings to learn this week. Home learning will start again after the Easter holidays.

Please keep reading and recording it on Boom Reader. You can also practise your maths on TTRS and have a go at spelling your year group words to help you when writing in Term 5 (see link below).

Spelling

Below are the Year 5 & 6 spelling words that children in England are expected to be able to spell by the end of Year 6 and should be using in their writing throughout Year 5 & 6. How many can you spell? 

The link below will take you to the spelling scheme we are working from in school.

Children should bring their Accelerated Reading book to and from school each day. When they have finished reading their current book, children are asked to complete a quiz before choosing the next one:

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.

Some helpful questions to ask the children and check their understanding as they read have been pasted below.
