Reading
Daily reading is recommended for 10 to 15 minutes. This could take the form of a reading
book from school, a book from home, a magazine, a newspaper or even a website such as
News round.
We would like learners to look at News round website and write a summary of the most
interesting news story that they have found. Writing should be at least 2 paragraphs and
include reasons why they chose this news story interesting.
Maths
The following are example questions from the year 5 procedural maths tests.
Please complete as many as you can in your home learning books.
Calculators will not be allowed during the test to answer the questions below.
