On a weekly basis, children are expected to:

• Reading – Children at Ashbourne Primary School should read 5 x a week for 10 minutes at home with their parents and this should be recorded in the child’s reading record. Reading records will be checked every Monday.
• Times tables – Year 5 children should practise times tables at home via Times Tables Rockstars each week. It is recommended that for Times Table Rockstars to have an impact, it should be used for at least 10 minutes per week.
• Spellings – The government have set words that the children must learn in each year group. Six of these will be sent home on a weekly basis and the children will be tested each Monday. Spellings can be found in homework diaries. Children will learn Group A, Group B or Group C spellings. Please help your child learn these.
