Welcome to Redwood Class

Top Tips for Year 5 Parents

• Encourage and help your child to become independent through organising themselves for school, sorting out friendship issues on their own and completing homework tasks.
• Visit the library and museums regularly
• Encourage children to read books at the appropriate level for them and complete the Accelerated Reader quiz at school.
• Help children to develop routines such as when they will read each evening and when they will complete their homework.
• Look for opportunities to rehearse times tables. By the end of Year 5, children should confidently recall all times tables up to 12 x 12 as well as the related division facts
• Talk as a family about your day.
• Talk to children about their use of IT and remember that most social media websites require children to be 13 or older.
