Year 5/6 Blogpost 23.05.25
Dear Parents/Carers,
Happy Friday again. It's last half term of the academic year. We hope that the children manage to have lots of fun and are well rested to come back in June for the final stretch of our academic year. Please ensure that children are sent to school wearing suncream and have hats to give shade in the warmer weather. As jumpers and cardigans are likely to be removed, please make sure that they are labelled so that they can be returned should they be left anywhere.

Please also ensure that your child is regularly:
- Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. All children have a Reading record to take home.
- Spelling words - please practice these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. This week we are up to:
- Spelling Rule 37 - Word list – spelling ending in cious and tious
- TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details.
