Dear Year 5,

Another hard-working week – we have thoroughly enjoyed reading your exciting story openers and seeing you become more confident with times tables. You rose splendidly to the challenge of long multiplication!

Homework this weekend:

• Spellings. These should be practised regularly at home on several different days.
• Times tables. You need to be secure and have quick recall of x5, x10 and x2 before moving onto x3 and x4. You should also learn the inverse operations.
• Maths homework: see the questions on the back. You should choose whether you attempt the Starters, Then or Challenge questions. This work should be done in pencil in your Maths homework book, with the date clearly written and underlined. Remember the work we have done on short multiplication – don’t forget to carry where necessary!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Howard and Mrs Ainsworth
