To be confirmed

In year 5, we begin to learn a list of statutory spellings that are expected to be mastered at the end of KS2. As well as these, we also recap on the Year 3 and 4 statutory spellings to ensure these are secure before moving on. 

Please find the Y5/6 and Y3/4 statutory spelling lists below, along with suggestions for parents on ways to support learning these spellings at home. 

Times Table Rockstars

Please regularly practise your times tables. Children in Year 6 need to know times tables up to 12 x 12 and the related division facts.

All children have been given a Times Table Rockstars log in, please contact your class teacher if you do not have this.
