Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday and is due in on a Thursday. All homework is available on Sumdog and Emile on a weekly basis. Alongside this, we would like all pupils to complete the Times Table Rockstar challenges.
Regular reading is strongly encouraged in Year 6. Take a look at a recommended list of 100 books to read in Year 5/6 in the documents section.
We are continuing to utilise LBQ to support the children's learning. Children will find independent study available when they log into their account.
Spellings
Attached below are the Year 5/6 statutory spellings which we learn to spell and use continuously. In the documents below there are a selection of spelling strategies which we use in school to support your spelling learning at home.
Times Tables
In Year 6, it is essential that the children are now fluent in all of their times tables and corresponding division facts. Please encourage your child to maintain their times tables knowledge at home through using Times Table Rockstar.
The Maths Factor is a great tool for developing instant recall and identifying gaps in knowledge and have a look at these games https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button, https://www.topmarks.co.uk/times-tables/coconut-multiples and https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/306/Maths-Fishing-Multiplication.
P.E. Days
Our P.E. days are Monday and Tuesday. Please ensure children come to school dressed in full PE kit on these days.
Water bottles
Please send your child to school with a filled water bottle at the start of each day so thet they can have a drink of water as required throughout the day.
