We follow God Matters in Religious Education (the Portsmouth Diocese scheme of learning). The children learn two and a half hours of RE per week in KS2 and are involve in Class and Phase Liturgical prayers.
Doodle Learning is homework for year 5 this year. Please ensure your child is completing this 4x weekly, 5-10 minutes per subject. The children’s efforts with their Doodle are checked weekly.
Things that help us learn
We will be continuing to use Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 2. Reading books are sent home on a weekly basis which are pitched at your child’s current phonic ability and at a level they can decode and comprehend at a 95% accuracy. Please also encourage your children to read online using Oxford buddies and complete the comprehension activity. Weekly personalised spellings are sent home to consolidate the understanding of spellings and spelling rules the children have been taught. Spellings for many children will be taken from Government issued statutory word lists.
