Homework
In year 5, we use the CGP "10 Minute Weekly Workout" books for our homework each week. In addition, we will have weekly spelling tests and other homework will be issued as required. Full details of each week's homework can be found by clicking through to the homework section below.
Homework is due in every Friday.
Spellings
Spellings form part of our homework and should be practised regularly over the week. A list of the spellings for this term and dates of the spelling tests can be found on the homework tab.
Our spelling tests will now be on a Friday.
Reading
Reading forms part of our weekly homework and the children should continue to read regularly at home. Reading books can be changed on any day of the week. Please continue to record the reading on Boom Reader. You may also want to encourage your child to start to record some of their reading on Boom Reader too.

Our New School Prayer
As a school, we have created a new school prayer. Please help your child learn it at home.
This is our school; everyone is welcome here.
Let it be a place of compassion and forgiveness,
Where love prevails and friendships flourish.
Through God’s love, may we serve our community
And make the world a better place.
Help us to remember that, together, we can make a difference.
Amen
