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 Monday)

Every Monday, children will be provided with a Literacy homework that must be completed either in their orange book or online as requested.  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. 

Homework will always be listed below to hele you support your child, but as always if you have any questions, please don't hestiate to get in touch.

Week 1

1. Grammar revision 7 games on Grammar Arcade - this is available on EDSHED (the same platform and login as Spelling shed) This week children will play games linked to our literacy focus which has been determiners, adjectives and verbs to make expanded noun phrases - have a look how your child does - I think you will be impressed (I certainly have been!)

2. 'Edshed spellings words 7 games with the short vowel soind /i/ spelled 'y' - these will be tested on Monday and I have shared with the children what I can see and how this helps me as a teacher to make progress with your child.  I would also encourage your child to write their spellings out and these will be found in their homework diary.

 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!
