Homework
Homework will be sent home in a separate book on Thursday afternoons. It should be brought back into school the following Wednesday to be marked. Each week children should spend 20 minutes completing a maths activity and another 20 minutes completing an English activity. There will also be an optional topic activity to complete from a grid of ideas. Each week children should also spent some time practising their weekly spellings, termly KIRFs and times tables.
Term 3 - Viking topic homeworkSpellings
Spellings will be tested on Friday mornings. If you are unsure of your spelling group check the front of your spelling book or ask Mrs. Clark Murphy. To help you learn you spellings have a go at some of these activities:
- Draw a picture and hide your spelling words inside.
- Type out your spellings, using different fonts for each word.
- Write your spellings in different coloured pens or pencils.
- Cut and stick letters from old newspaper and magazines to write out your spellings.
- Write a silly story and try to include all your spelling words
Spelling groups are re-assessed each term so your child may move between groups. Spellings will be sent home on the first day of term with the name of the group your child belongs to. If you have any questions or need to know which group your child is in please email Mrs. Clark Murphy at class5@st-peters-canterbury.kent.sch.uk

Times Tables
Children in year 5 are expected to know all their times tables facts (both multiplication and division) up to 12x12. Make sure you keep practising, regularly at home to help you in your maths lessons. If you need any ideas to help you practise, please get in contact with Mrs. Clark Murphy.
We will be continuing to quiz the children every week on their times tables facts in school.
