Children in Year 6 will be required to complete the following homework tasks each week:

Home reading - We would like the children to read at least 4 times each week at home and record entries into their individual reading records. Children will also be able to share their thoughts on texts they have read verbally on a Wednesday afternoon during 'Book Club', to spread our love of reading even further and you never know, someone might even read a recommended book!

Spellings - The children will be set a new spelling list in our hour-long spelling lesson every Wednesday, ready for their test the following week. We would like the children to practise their spellings in their spelling books and to complete 10 weekly games on Spelling Shed.

TT Rock Stars - The class will be set 15 Garage games on TT Rock Stars each week to be completed by the following Friday.
Closer to the summer term, I do send children home with a SPaG or Mathematics worksheet to complete. This is purely for revision- no new learning- and will aid them to revise in readiness for their end of year assessments (both formative and summative).
