HOMEWORK

In Year 6 homework is an essential cog in the learning wheel and allows you to support your child in a number of valuable ways. 

Please encourage your child to read each night and practice times tables if they are not yet secure. Your child is expected to do some homework each evening.

Thank you for your support.

READING

Please encourage your child to read daily. It is recommended that you listen to your child read out loud to check for decoding strategies and pronunciation. If reading independently from you, check in with their understanding of the text and sign their reading record book.

Children must bring their reading book and reading record book to school each day as they will need it during DEAR - Drop Everything And Read.

"Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible." Barak Obama

SPELLING

Each week your child will be asked to learn a spelling rule and list. We will look at the spellings and rules in class and have opportunity to use them in context. Spelling lists will be given to your children at the start of each half term.  There is a list for each week.

Spellings will be tested each week on Thursday.
