Year 5 and 6 Common Exception words

Reading Rocks

We promote reading at home with our ‘Reading Rocks’ initiative. Class teachers will check the reading record books each week and award Dojo points to individual children accordingly and the class with the most points at the end of the half term will win a prize! Children read in school four times a day during SQUIRT lessons and have opportunities to choose books during Morning Work sessions. Children will also have the opportunity to choose home readers to take home and read.

Times Tables Rockstars

To develop and support children’s understanding of key multiplication facts, we are using Times Tables Rockstars alongside regular teaching within Maths sessions.

Knowledge Organisers

Knowledge organisers give an overview of what pupils will be learning in school over the course of their History, Geography or Art unit of work for the half term. Pupils have a copy of this in their Curriculum books to refer to within lessons. The Knowledge Organisers for each half term are available for you to download below so that you can support your child in discussing with them what they have been learning this week and build upon this learning at home, if you wish to do so.
