Reading
In Year 5, the children choose their own books to read at home. Not only does this promote independence but the children pick books that interest them and therefore get more enjoyment from their reading. The children should be reading 5 times a week and this should also include reading with an adult, where an adult can extend their understanding by asking questions about the text.
Homework
The children will be set weekly homework on a Friday. This will include reading, maths and spellings on EdShed.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me either through the school office or email me at chloe.thresher@more-park-westmalling.kcsp.org.uk
