Homework (Year 6)
Year 6 Homework
Due in: FRIDAY
As we head into year 6, it is increasingly important that children should complete homework with greater independence. Therefore, we are expecting all children to try to complete the maths homework by themselves, using the year 6 prompt sheets as necessary (these are available at the bottom of each term's table). The purpose of these activities is to encourage a continuous recall of maths facts which will prepare them for year 7. Pupils are asked to answer similar questions as their morning maths (which is completed independently every morning in class). If your child would like an extension to the work provided, please see the links for the Primary Maths Challenge and the NRich investigations in the helpful resources row.
In addition to maths, we may also be asking pupils to complete comprehension activities, the purpose of which is to enhance reading skills as well as boosting their reading stamina. We still expect pupils to read at least five times per week for a minimum of 15 minutes as per the home-school agreement. Anything above this quantity of five times will allow your child the chance to qualify for the platinum reading award so please ensure that your child has their home link book signed by a parent/carer every day. We will collect them in every day.
Occasionally, we may ask for additional research tasks to be completed. This may be because the research around this subject is vital in order to complete the lesson in class, and it avoids taking too much time out of the year 6 timetable.
Finally, each week pupils will need to practice their spellings. There will be a weekly test that will be recorded at the back of their spelling books. If your child would like to extend themselves further with their spelling, they can complete a word investigation from this list of 100 words to sharpen your expression list.
Homework will be set and returned every Friday. If your child is struggling to complete their homework, they must see their teacher or LSA before the Friday hand-in date. As mentioned above, please use the prompt sheets at the bottom of the table as guidance also.
Homework will self-marked by the child.
