Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum lists, these are words your child has to know by the end of Year 5.   Please encourage them to practise at home during the week, and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.  The tests are linked to spelling objectives and learning during the week.

Mental Maths Facts

This week’s facts to learn are:

Factor pairs of numbers up to 16

(Identify all factor pairs – pairs of numbers which multiply to make an answer – up to 16.  e.g. – factor pairs of 12 = 3,4 and 2,6 and 12,1)

We will test the children on their knowledge of factor pairs of a given number up to 16

On Friday after school, please ask your child their score. We’ll send a slip with their results recorded home every week.
