Spelling Homework

Don’t forget that weekly spellings are available on the year group class spelling pages. The children will now be bringing their spellings home on a Friday in their reading record to copy out at home ready to take their reading record back to school on a Monday.

Year 6 homework

In year 6, homework is given out weekly. Homework will be given out on a Friday and will need to be completed and returned by the following Friday.

Each week you will get:

  • Maths and SPAG (English) homework – a CGP book will given to you to complete. You will be asked to complete a selection of pages each week.
  • Times Table Rockstars – to be completed throughout the week. Certificates will be given out on a Friday.
  • You will still have a MyMaths login if you want to do any extra maths practise although no individual tasks will be assigned as you will be completing the CGP maths homework book.
  • Reading books will go home on a Friday for you to read over the weekend – you get 5 house points for every three times that you read at home.
