Spellings for the Summer Term 2026

Please find below a copy of the Years 5&6 spelling list.  Children will be taught the spelling strategies through a main teacher input and spelling games.  At the end of week 2, they will be given a dictation featuring their fortnightly words.

Homeword Topic Grid (optional)

A variety of fortnightly activities are available for children to complete—please see the list below. Hand-in dates can be found on the homework grid. This homework is optional, but all completed work will be celebrated. Selected pieces will be showcased in your child’s “Best Work” book. 

A Day in the Life of a Child in Redwood Class

Here is our timetable for Summer 2026. We have introduced a quiet reading slot after breaktime, which will help children to relax and calm before starting the rest of the morning's learning.  Mrs Giffiths will continue teaching computing this term, whilst Mrs Wellby teaches music to Rowan.
