Year 6 Homework

Homework

Supporting your child with their homework helps to build confidence and prepares them for the learning we complete in school. All homework is designed to reinforce concepts that have already been taught, helping children secure their understanding and remember key knowledge they need by the end of Key Stage 2. Research shows that regularly recalling previously learned information strengthens memory and helps children retain knowledge for longer. 

I am always happy to support any child who is unsure about their homework. All tasks are available on the school website.

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. 

Even children who follow individual spelling programmes are expected to complete all homework. Each Monday, I test the weekly spellings, and those who make the strongest progress are typically the pupils who practise regularly and engage with the spelling games correctly. Children record their spellings in their spelling journals on Monday mornings, and I encourage them to use these during spelling practice so they are continually reading, revisiting and applying the words with increasing confidence.

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 beginning 19th October 2026

1. 'Edshed spellings words 7 games -challenge words.  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. Having these infront of the children when completing their spellings will help them improve.  As it is half term, the spelling test will be on the first Monday back (Monday 2nd November). Ed shed games will end on Sunday 25th November 2026.

2. www.spag.com Please ensure you login and complete you 50 questions.  Logins have been sent homewith a letter and are stuck in your child's Y5/6 planner.

 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!
