The expectations in Year 5 for homework is 2 hours a week, this includes reading. The expectation for reading is that children read every day with an adult at home, we recommend about 10 to 15 minutes with a short chat at the end about what they have read, and for this to be recorded in their reading log. This will also help them contribute to the school reading challenge.

As well as reading, your child will get spellings to learn and these will be tested on these. Also some maths or literacy practice which will vary from week to week.
