Year 5 Home Practice 18th September 2020

Year 5 have settled back to school brilliantly and have learnt all the new rules and routines so quickly, well done everyone! We have enjoyed reading our class novel, Street Child and story, The Hole. I'm very impressed with the excellent work the children have produced. There is a big focus on times tables, place value and number facts in maths. Our history topic - The Victorians is very interesting. Keep up your positive attitude and hard work whilst doing your home practice year 5.

Reading

Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every evening. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. Write new vocabulary in your reading diary and include comments about the story.

Maths

This week’s challenge on Sumdog is based on place value, rounding to the nearest 10/100 and times tables.

Spellings

There will be new spellings to learn each week on a Friday and a Sumdog spelling challenge linked to the spelling rule (spellings could be different from the ones below). The children will be tested on those spellings the following Friday. If you don’t know what a word means, look it up in a dictionary or ask an adult. Please learn these spellings for next Friday (25.9.20):

The rule is i before e except after c (there are some exceptions to the rule!).

chief          niece          piece          seize          receipt      

thief          priest         belief          relief        ceiling     

grief          mischief      deceive      fiend          relieved
