How can you help at home?
Homework:
Each child will be given three homework books: SPAG, Maths and Reading. Maths and SPAG questions will be set nightly (around three questions per night) and reading will be set weekly (one text and set of questions per week set on a Friday). The expectation is that the children complete the homework each night (or week for reading) and the homework is marked in class. The maths and SPAG questions should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes and the reading should take 10-20 minutes in total.
Reading:
Children are expected to read at home at least five times each week for fifteen minutes. At least one of these times needs to be with an adult but please read more often with your child if you are able. Children are expected to write the date of the read, the book they are reading and the pages they have read in that day. Please ensure that you check and sign reading records each week. Reading records will be checked every Friday.
Reading comprehension question stems can be found here.
A list of recommended reads for Y6 can be found here.
Spelling:
This year, Year 6 will be following a new way of spelling. The premise of this is that spelling should be 'taught not caught'. We will be doing daily and weekly spelling sessions but will not be sending spelling lists home for weekly spelling tests. We recognise that this is different from previous years and will be different from other year groups, but we hope this new way of working will see great improvement in spelling!
Maths:
|
By Year 6, the children should be confident with all times table facts so constant practice at home will help to embed this. The children will be continuing with Maths Planets this year and will carry on from their end point in Year 5. There are sample papers on the maths page of the website to give you an idea of what each stage will look like. Please encourage your child to practise their maths facts at least three times per week. If your child is stuck on a level for more than four weeks, then we will intervene at school. |
