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 2 Autumn 2 - Reading focus 

Humpty Dumpty reading comprehension. Please compelte this in your homework book, presenting each answer neatly.

Complete both the summary focus questions and the set of VIPER questions.

This week is 'Nursery Rhyme week'

We will be reading, deconstructing and trying to consider the symbolic meanings of various well-known nursery rhymes. 

The children have read Humpty Dumpty today and considered the grammatical terminology for each word in the rhyme.  They considered if Humpty Dumpty was really an egg or if it had a hidden, deeper meaning.

We also watched Newsround, where the children read a report regarding families reading together and the science behind it.  They have been asked to inform you of this research and enocourage a little light reading as a family over the week before bed.  What stories will you share together? How will it create a calm and positive bedtime routine between siblings.  I look forward to hearing all about your child's results from the science test.

 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!
