HOMEWORK

• A focus of Year 5 is developing speed and fluency with multiplication facts. Students are encouraged to learn their multiplication and division facts to support them with other areas of Mathematics as the year progresses. 
• Reading each night is an ongoing expectation. Reading can be tracked in students' diaries or through Epic.
• To support our Inquiry focus this term, students will have weekly tasks to complete focused on a key person in Australian history.
