OTHER LINKS

Instead of the two schemes above, you can also choose to follow the BBC Bitesize page. There are three activities every day (Maths, English and wider curriculum).

Here is a link to other websites the government has suggested for home learning. They cover a wide range of areas.

Reading, writing and spelling information

You will also need to continue reading your own book. Reading is extremely important and you should be making time to read each day.

For writing, use the Writing Expectations provided in the links (Year 4 and Year 5). Also, see the sheet for writing expectations on the front page of your book (Year 4 & 5 Spring and Year 4 & 5 Summer).

Here is the complete spelling list for Year 4 and Year 5 (if you wish to continue learning the spellings that the children have being doing for homework).

Here is a set of spellings that the class were doing as mini spellings tests a couple of time a week. They include all the different prefixes, suffixes and word types they need to know.
