Year 6 Autumn 1 Homework

YEAR 6 HOMEWORK This year, we will be doing something different with the usual weekly homework. We are hoping that this will give children and families more flexibility regarding when homework is handed in and also give children the opportunity to enjoy learning through the wider curriculum. Our focus this half term is “Back to School” and “Autumn”.

Here is the homework for this half term: READING – 30 minutes daily. Children should have their reading journal in school every day and are encouraged to use the comprehension section at the front of the journals to think further about their reading.

SPELLING – each Friday there will be a spelling test. The children will receive spellings each week on a Monday after the spelling pattern has been introduced.

MATHS - Weekly Clic, Safe and Learn It ***Very soon the children will have a login for a new, online maths homework.
