How do you decide what you believe about COVID?
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.
Homework is issued on Wednesdays and collected the following Tuesday, giving children a full week to complete all tasks.
The basic structure of homework in Year 6 is as follows:
- Individual reading book (daily). Bug Club
- Spelling practice (daily) or Basic knowledge flash cards
- English Writing (1 x weekly)
- English Grammar (1 x weekly)
- Reading comprehension (1 x weekly)
- Maths (1 x weekly)
SATs Revision (Spring Term) - Using provided materials.
They may occasionally be given additional work to revise or research.
