Home Learning
HOMEWORK THIS YEAR WILL BE SET ELECTRONICALLY VIA GOOGLE CLASSROOM
All home learning will be added to the Google Classroom on the Friday of each week, which will need to be completed by the following Thursday.
All home learning will be linked to what we have been doing in class that week.
Children need to complete the work in their red 'Home Learning' book which has been sent home. This book needs to stay at home and this means children will not be bringing their homework into school. The documents on Google Classroom can eitehr be veiwed online with the work completed in books, or completed onscreen if you have pdf editor.
The answers will be uploaded on a Sunday. Children can then mark their own work and try anything again that they get wrong.
Once marked, a photo of the completed learning can uploaded to the Google Classroom or be sent to Mr Parkin and Mrs Ackroyd to view.
Children need to complete all home learning for that week by Thursday.
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN RED HOME LEARNING BOOKS TO SCHOOL
Please make sure that if you are struggling with your homework, you come and see a member of staff as soon as you can. Do not leave home learning until the last minute. Year 6 is a great opportunity to learn good habits ready for secondary school.
Maths Home Learning
Each week a task will be set that focuses on the key learning from maths that week. There are usually a variety of fluency and problem solving questions to answer.
Please mark before submitting your work online.
Grammar Home Learning
Each week, a task will be set that focuses on the main grammar learning from that week. Complete the questions and then mark your work before submitting.
SPELLING part 1
Spellings will be given on the Monday of each week and will be tested on the following Monday. There will be 6 spellings given that follow a particular rule each week, with 4 'mystery' words tested to see if the children have learnt the spelling rule as well as the spellings given.
Alongside this, we will also be focusing on our statutory spelling list for Years 5 and 6 this year, so each child will be given 25 spellings from this list per term and will then be tested at the end of that term. Please ensure that the weekly spelling rule, the 6 weekly spellings and the 25 termly spellings are being practised regularly. There will be a 'spellingframe' task set up each week to help the children learn their spellings at home. Children have their log-in details for this site.
It is also important that children know the meaning of the words they are learning to spell - we might ask you to put one into a sentence.
Please print off or copy into your home learning book, this week's spellings. Spellings should be recorded or stuck in the back of the red home learning book which has been sent home. PLEASE DO NOT BRING THIS BOOK BACK INTO SCHOOL.
SPELLING part 2
This term's 25 word spelling list
We are also learning our first group of 25 words from our statutory word list. Please ensure you spend this term learning these at home as well. We will be having a test on all of these during the final week of the term before October half term.

READING HOME LEARNING
In Year 6, children are expected to read every for 20 mins every night. Reading is essential in helping children develop in all other areas of their learning. We have many age-appropriate books in school covering a range of different authors and generes.
