Y5 Home Learning

Should your child have to self isolate below are links to learning for each half term which will complement the learning happening in class. 

Approximate Directed Activity Time - 2.5 - 3 hours

Ideally, every day we would like children to do the following:

English work - about 1.5 hours

• Read independently for 30 minutes
• Spend around 45 minutes writing practising their writing, spelling or grammar

Maths work - about 1 hour

• Practice Times Tables RockStars for 15/20 minutes (if you do not have a log on please ask your teacher)
• Spend around 40 minutes completing a maths task

Topic work - about 45 mins

• Complete one of the activities from another subject area (Science, Georgraphy, Art etc.)

Helping your child with home learning - what to do:

Reading (30 mins)

 If you do not have a school reading book, you can use a book from home or an online book.

Talk to them about what they have read, perhaps ask them questions such as; What does this word mean on this page? Can you think of another word that means the same? Which bit made you feel…….?’How does the character feel on this page - why?

Writing (45 minutes)

There is an English & Maths activity booklet which can be downloaded below. This contains a variety of English activities including comprehension, spelling work and writing prompts. You should aim to complete one activity a day.

If your child would prefer, we have also shared some story prompt wheels that can be used to generate ideas to write about. Encourage your child to use exciting vocabulary to create a really interesting piece of writing and check their spelling carefully.

Maths: Times Tables practice: (15 mins)

Log onto TT RockStars and let your child practice their key skills for 15 mins or so. If you cannot remember or don't have a log on, please let us know.

Maths: Activity Books (40 minutes)

Encourage your child to spend about 40 minutes per day working through the activities in the English & Maths practice book below.
