Reading
'Reading for pleasure is the single most important indicator of a child's future success' OECD 2022.
The will to read influences the skill and vice versa.
Research suggests that the are three important ways in which you can support your child to develop a love of reading:
- book chats
- family reading time
- reading aloud
Book recommendations
The following are good places to find new exciting texts and widen your reading repertoire:
BookMatch | The Reader Teacher
To help children branch out, the reader teacher offers some excellet suggestions for fans of a range of well loved authors.
https://ourfp.org/texts-authors/
Every month, a guest recommends three books. It is great way to stay up to date with some of the best current literature for children. They also provide lists of award-winning books and shortlists which you can explore together.
Another great resource is the Norfolk Children's Book Centre who publish booklists on the site below.

Maths
Use your TT Rockstars account to practise timetables. In addition, you can also use your yellow homework books for timetables practise.
The link below is to a website where you can create the worksheets that we use in school to practise for the weekly 5-minute timetables test:
http://www.timestables.me.uk/
There are also fluency grids for maths which will help your child with their basic skills practice.
MyMaths is our online homework resource for the children. This will be set weekly linked to what we are learning in class. Certificates are rewarded at the end of each half term, your child must have completed all pieces of assigned work (they may attempt each task more than once).
Spellings
You will also find your child's weekly spellings based on the spelling rules we are learning in class and the children will be tested on Thursdays. There are also the Y5/6 statutory spellings on the homework sheet which the children should continue practicing throughout the half term.
