Year 5 - Mrs Glanvill Homework

Homework is important as it helps your child to practise the skills they have learnt in school. Encouraging and supporting them to complete it on time will ensure they understand everything that is being taught in lessons.

We will set Maths, Comprehension and Spellings every Friday. This is a key part of your child’s learning and we expect it to be completed and handed in by the following Thursday.

If your child is not sure about the homework, they can attend Homework Club on Mondays from 12.15pm-1pm.


Maths homework is set weekly. Visit www.mymaths.co.uk and login at the top of the page using your school username and password. On the next page enter your personal username and password in the My Portal box.
