Year 5 at Little Heath

Please make sure your child is completing one hour of Sumdog at home each week. Last week, fewer than one-third of the class reached this target, so please encourage your child to complete their weekly hour. Regular practice on Sumdog will help to reinforce the maths skills we are learning in class. Please also encourage your child to read aloud to you for 10 minutes, 5 days a week, and record this in their orange reading record. Regular reading aloud will help to develop their fluency, expression and confidence. Spellings (Test 28th September) symbol mystery lyrics oxygen symptom physical system typical crystal rhythm
