If you would like to support your child further at home, in Year 5 we aim for children to know their times tables with increasing fluency. There are some fantastic videos online to support the learning of these.
Additionally the Year 5/6 Statutory word list can be found in the documents at the bottom of this page, these are spellings in which we aim for children to know by the time they finish Year 5.

Other useful information: Suitable PE kit must be worn: a black t-shirt with the Stanground St John's Logo or a white t-shirt, and black shorts/ sports trousers.
Reading at home daily will help develop and improve pace, fluency and understanding. Please listen to your child read at least 3 times a week and then record in their reading record for them to move up the reading ladder.
