Reading Scrapbooks should be updated daily: all Class 4 pupils should read and summarise briefly what they have read each day.
Reading is a hugely important skill which has an impact of every child’s academic success While in UKS2 we don’t necessarily ask you to hear your child read every day for their decoding, we would love if you were able to find a few occasions over the week where you share a book with your child. It could be you reading or them reading, or a combination of the two. This gives the children opportunities to experience books and stories that are potentially above their independent reading level.
As children move into UKS2 it is really important that we ensure their comprehension skills are developing. There are example questions that you could ask your child to check their understanding stuck in their reading records. We follow this structure in class – VIPERS (Vocabulary, Inference, Explain, Retrieve, Sequence/Summarise)
Recommended Year 5 and Reading Lists
We encourage pupils in UKS2 to read a wide variety of texts and as well as rotating the books in our book corner, we regularly visit the school library. Please see attached the latest recommended reading lists for this age group.
Home Learning
This is set regularly on Tapestry with the aim of supporting our students to be ready for Secondary school and be responsible for their learning. We encourage pupils to understand the importance of their research and presentation skills and how they will use these as they move to Secondary school.
By the end of KS2, children are expected to be able to recognise and use the spelling rules associated with the Year 5 and 6 Statutory Spelling list (please see below).
Each child in Badger Class has a unique login for Maths/Spelling Shed and Times Table Rock Stars.
Please see the links below to access Maths and Spelling games as well as assignments that are aimed at consolidating and supporting learning from the current week.
