Daily Essentials
- Reading - Please continue to read your school reading book each day, both aloud to an adult and to yourself. Discuss what you are reading with an adult and ask questions. Look up words that you do not know in a dictionary. Should you finish it you could create a book review to tell other children about the book that you have read.
- Times Tables Continue to practise the times tables that you are currently learning. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10 https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/504/Super-Maths-Bowling-Multiplication

Spelling - Please learn your school spellings which you will be tested on in school. Below there is a document including the Year 5 and 6 National Curriculum words. Each day you could choose a few of these words and make a poster, acrostic poem or other mnemonic device to help you to remember the spellings. Please practise these using the suggested activities and the following websites. http://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/spookySpellings/index.html https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/5/Year-5-an
