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.

Wk 8 - 2 week SPAG homework (www.spag.com)

I have stuck a copy of your child’s username and password in the front of their homework book.

Your child has 50 questions to complete. This will allow me to gather information on the key grammar areas your child is confident in, as well as the areas we need to focus on as a class during our literacy sessions.

Your child can log in on any device - your phone, their iPad, or a laptop. The questions include tick, select, and short written responses.  All the progress your child makes will save automatically and they can come back to it and compelte it over a series of sessions if they wish. 

If it asks your child to punctuate sentences accurately, please ensure all capital letters and full stops (or other appropriate punctuation) are included.

If you would like to support your child with this homework, you may read the questions aloud or help explain the meaning of words. However, please do not give them the correct answers, as the software allows me to complete a gap analysis in an informal way and plan for your child’s progression accordingly.

Over the year, as your child completes more of these activities, you should see their percentage mark improve from this initial baseline.

 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!
