Please see the home learning tab on our website for information about the purpose of home learning at Horn’s Mill and why reading is highly valued.  Team 5 will be expected to read for 5 times a week at home for at least 15 minutes.  Alongside reading themselves, it would be hugely beneficial if they listened to an adult read at home regularly.  Recommendations can be found on our home learning document attached to this page. We are doing a wide range of things in school to help inspire your child to read more and regularly update the class library with books that are current and interesting for your child to read in school and take home.  If you think of any books that your child might like us to order, please let any staff member in Team 5 know.   

Team 5’s reading records will be checked each MONDAY and books changed when required.

Times Tables

By the time they reach Team 5, children are expected to know their times tables and related division acts up to 12x12.   As part of their homework, children are expected to be practising their tables on a daily basis until they can quickly recall all of their tables facts.  To aid this practise your child has been given a FREE subscription to Times Tables RockStars.  Tables have been individually set for each child.  If you find that you child's tables are either too easy or too difficult, please let a staff member in Team 5 know. Children in Team 5 should be accessing Times Tables Rockstars for at least 30 minutes per week. 

Don't forget to practise the spellings and times tables listed in your home learning.
