The deadline for completing pre-learning tasks is Friday 25th September. Merits and prizes will be awarded for extra effort.
Pupils were also given a Summer reading chart. Any pupils completing their chart by Friday 11th September will earn a merit and prize.

Weekly Homework
Pupils in Year 5 are expected to complete the following homework each week:
- A minimum of 15 minutes TT Rockstars (A minimum of 1 attempt on Studio).
- Learn weekly spellings.
- A minimum of 30 minutes reading (it would be extremely beneficial to your child if you could listen to them read for 10 minutes each week).
Within your child's Accelerated Reader login they will have comprehension quizzes to complete when they've finished a book. These quizzes help them to reach their target in their reading for each term. Your child will be given time in class to complete an Accelerated Reader Quiz and will be encouraged to meet 100% by the end of the half term so that they can be rewarded.
Key Stage Two - Reading at Home Certificates
As part of our commitment to make sure that children read as much as possible, the staff in Key Stage 2 have come up with a uniform approach to awarding certificates. It is hoped that this will give reading a boost and encourage children to read more frequently, at home.
EVERY child can find something they enjoy reading, it's just a case of finding what genre is right for them!
The certificates are as follows:
25 - Bronze / 50 - Silver / 75 - Gold / 100 - Platinum / 150 - Platinum Plus / 200 - Diamond / 300 - Commended / 400 - Outstanding.
Should your child reach the magical 500, then Mrs. Sweeney will buy them a book of their choice!
