Homework 

In Year 6 Homework is particularly important. Not only does it help to develop understanding of work from the classroom but also enables children to develop independence and organisation that will stand them in good stead at secondary school.

The structure of homework in Year 6 is as follows:

Individual reading book (daily), using their selected ARA book, Bug Club.

Spelling practice (daily) based on the weekly spelling patterns taught or spellings in their vocabulary booklet.

English Grammar (1 x fortnightly)

Reading Comprehension (1 x fortnightly)

Maths (1 x weekly), based on the skills/ concepts taught in the week.

SATs Revision (Spring Term)

All homework is set on a Wednesday and is due in Wednesday following.

Pupils may occasionally be given additional work to revise or research information in relation to the current unit of work.
