Year 6 Homework

Homework

Here is a wonderful website with book recommendations for all year groups.

Please ensure your child reads daily where possible – this could be them reading to themselves, you reading together before bed, children completing research for homework, but where possible make it enjoyable, keep it interesting and promote the love of reading and the value it has.   This term, your child will be given a class book to read and homework will be set from this book on a weekly or fortnightly basis – depending on the task.  I will always update the homework on the website so you know what it is.

NUMBOTS – 10 MINUTES (Unless you have completed all levels)

TT ROCKSTARS – 10 MINUTES

ED SHED – 7 GAMES (These spellings link with the spellings we complete in class and there will be a test each Friday)

Every Monday, children will be provided with a Literacy homework that must be completed in their orange homework book.  This could be a short comprehension, a spag activity, a researching task or a written piece of work.  Pease support your child in completing these at home.  This will help them to prepare for the SATS which will be in May and usually homework links to the class work, enabling your child to be confident and have even further success in their school work.

WeeK 1 - Due in Monday 15th September - research an ancient Greek god or goddess and shocase your learning.  This could be through a fact file, writing a description, writing a story which indludes the god that shocases their personality - it is up to you!  If you wish, you can dress up as this god or godess on Monday 15th September, where you will showcase all the information you have discovered through your homework.  Homework can be completed using a computer and stuck in homework books if the children prefer this method.  High quality presentation is expected in homework books for every piece but how they produce their work is up to the child as long as it meets the task requirements. 

Wk 2: Reading comprehension  15/9/25

Next week we are taking part in a debate to determine which would be the best Greek state: Athens or Sparta? For homework the children have a comprehension activity looking at democracy - a word that they will come across when investigating life in Athens.  This prior reading will really help them understand and use the term correctly in their writing. 

 Maths Homework (due in each Wednesday)

Maths Homework this half term will be arithmetic questions. All work can either be completed in blue homework books or compelted on the sheet and stuck in your blue maths homework book. I encourage your child to have a go at all of the arithmetic questions and if they are stuck to star the ones they need support with as this allows me to know which questions and areas of maths I need to focus on when we go through the questions on Wednesdays.

Your children know their 36 times table facts well and it is important that they continue to rehearse and recall them fluently this year.  This will make problem solving in year 6 even easier!
