Well done for completing another week of hard work year 5, keep up the good effort.

Keep up the effort and positivity until the end of the year. We have lots of exciting things ahead to keep you pushing on!

This week we have been focussing on adding decimals to 1 whole. For this weeks homework, we would like you to practice this and use your addition and subtraction skills to work out what would need to be added to make 1 whole. Grown ups, there is some useful links attached on how to use the correct method of converting.

We would also like you to continue to practice your times tables by using TTRS to polish up your knowledge. Practising little and often, whether this is at home, in the car or at the den, allows you to really embed your times tables knowledge, keep your memory of times tables solid, make you more confident when using your times tables in maths - and of course more confident for our maths challenge. Practising for 10-15 minutes a day would be our suggested time - beginning with Garage before moving onto a different TTRS game.

Please continue to read daily and record your reading in your reading journal. A minimum of 20 minutes daily would be our recommendation. Discussing the book with your family: likes, dislikes, any patterns and connections between this book and another text and any questions you have as a reader. If there are any words that are unfamiliar to you, please discuss them with your adults - or magpie them in a notebook for us to discuss in school.   

Many thanks,

The Year 5 Team.
