Home Learning for Year 5

At Woodland Community Primary School, we believe that a little practice at home can make a big difference to children’s confidence and progress. There are a number of ways you can support your child’s learning at home using the platforms provided by school.

📝 Weekly Spellings

Weekly spellings will be sent home via ClassDojo every Wednesday.

Children will then be tested on these spellings in class on the following Monday.

We encourage children to practise their spellings regularly throughout the week. They can do this using Spelling Shed, which provides a fun and engaging way to practise and reinforce their weekly spelling words.

📚 Other Useful Online Learning Platforms

There are also a number of online resources that children can use to practise important skills at home:

TTRS – Times Tables Rock Stars
TTRS helps children develop their times-table fluency and confidence through fun games, challenges and regular practice.

Letter-join
Letter-join supports handwriting practice and helps children develop correct letter formation and a neat, joined writing style.

Working Together

Regular, short periods of practice can help children to build confidence, consolidate their learning and develop positive learning habits.
