Year 6 Spring 1 Homework

YEAR 6 HOMEWORK Year Six, we are so proud of the effort that you put in to your homework projects during the Autumn term. Your ability to extend your learning at home and to go above and beyond what has been asked of you shows that you are fantastic role models for all children here at St John’s and those in our wider community.

This half term we have provided 9 options for homework tasks and we will expect at least 5 to be completed. The homework is due Friday, 8th February, 2019.

Many Thanks, Year 6 Team.

Here is the homework for this half term: READING - a minimum of 30 minutes three times a week. 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.
