Homework

Maths

Maths homework is set according to the maths theme being taught that week. Children will come home with a different task each week and will be expected to complete this and return it to school for their teacher to see. Year 6 teachers will inform children of the date homework should be returned, as well as providing the homework and ensuring children understand their task. If you have any questions about maths homework, please contact your child's teacher on Class Dojo.

Spelling

Spellings are now completed using Spelling Shed. Click here to find your child’s spellings. There are new spellings every week linked to the spelling patterns being studied in school. If you have any issues with accessing Spelling Shed, please speak with your child’s class teacher.

Aim to play 5 minutes every day.

Topic

Topic homework will be given out each term and will contain a choice of activities for your child to complete with you. Please choose at least three to complete each term. Topic homework can be brought in at any time throughout the term and will be shared with your child's class. House points will be given out as a reward for effort and quality. More information about this can be found here.

Top Tips for Successful Home Learning

With reading, spelling and times tables, the key is to practice little and often - every day if at all possible, but if not, certainly try on week days. This has far more impact on your child's progress than spending an hour or two once a week.

Find a time which works best for you and your family and try to establish a routine. Some find it best to do homework as soon as they get home, others just before bed or even first thing in the morning.

If you have any concerns, difficulties or questions around homework, please do not hesitate to talk to your child's class teacher.

PE

The children will need to come into school wearing their PE kits on a Tuesday and they should dress appropriately for outdoor weather. On their other PE day, they should come to school in their uniform as normal as they will be doing PE in the hall in bare foot.

Library

Year 6 will be going to the library to exchange books on a Monday.
