This week we are completing our next set of assessments. We recommend 5 minutes every night on EdShed to support your child’s recall and understanding of their year 3/4 and year 5/6 spelling words. These are words your child is expected to use in their writing and spell fluently.
Every week for Reading your child will have their own reading book chosen from the library to quiz on using Accelerated Reader, and they will receive personalised set assignments on Reading Plus to complete (your child will have time in school to access Reading Plus too to ensure they can complete the assignments).
For Maths this week, we would like your child to complete the Multiplication and Division Reasoning Booklet this will help them apply their TTRS knowledge at a deeper level of understanding. This week on TTRS your child has free choice to improve their speed and accuracy with both multiplication and division. Please encourage your child to complete 5 minutes every evening as evident from Friday’s Calculation Event, these facts are needed in most of their mathematical reasoning.
Andrew (author of SATs Like a Ninja and experienced Y6 teacher) will be uploading Maths Arithmetic Revision videos every week for the next 16 weeks via his YouTube channel.

New Nrich Problem. This link will take you to a Live Problem called Compare the Calculations. Can you put these four calculations into order of difficulty? How did you decide? I wonder if you can explain your method and submit it 🙂
For English this week, we would like your child to write a letter to author Onjali Q. Rauf as we will be studying her and her books during World Book Week.
Just a reminder to parents Homework Club finishes at 4pm. We look forward to seeing you all again this week 🙂
