Welcome to the class page for Year 5/6

Information

Children will be issued with passwords in the first week back so that they can access online homework, including:

Spelling Shed
Mathletics
SPAG.com
Times Table Rockstars
IDL
Reading plus

Previous passwords for these sites should still work before term begins if children wish to continue to access them.

Homework tasks will be set on these programmes on a Friday and are to be completed by the following Wednesday. The online programmes can be accessed on a PC, laptop, tablet/iPad or a smartphone.

Please click on the Homework tab at the top of the class page to find out what weekly homework has been set. You can also find a list of web links for each website.

We now have children signed up to the IDL programme too. This supports children in their English and reading. This can also be accessed outside of school. The children have been given their passwords for IDL.

Reading:

Children should be reading at home daily. Children will move up our class reading chart when they have completed books and there will be a prize for the most books read!

P.E.:

P.E. is on Monday and Friday afternoons.

Children require a full P.E. kit. Monday lessons will be indoor PE and Friday's lessons will be outdoors. Please ensure that your child has the appropriate kit in school each week. We will send kits home at the end of each half term for them to be washed.
