In Year 6, your child will participate in Reading for Pleasure at least three times a week. We also timetable specific reading comprehension sessions where we focus on key skills such as: vocabulary, inference, prediction, retrieval, summarising.

We recommend that children in Year 6 read at home daily for at least 30 minutes.

Various clubs are in place for Year 6 pupils throughout the week such as:

Football, Netball, Rounders, Drama, Young Voices, Art, Sketching, Band Practice, Retro Board Games and Vocal Group.

As well as supporting your child with their daily reading, we encourage parents to support their child at home by:

• Supporting your child with their weekly homework
• Encouraging writing through journals, creative stories, or letters
• Playing word games like Scrabble or Boggle to expand vocabulary
• Using real-life maths, like measuring ingredients while cooking or calculating shopping costs
• Practicing spellings, times tables and mental maths with fun apps or flashcards
• Playing maths-based board games like Monopoly or Sudoku

Homework is given out on a Friday and should be handed in by the following Wednesday.

Homework will consist of Maths work and a more general piece of work based on their current unit of work.

At the beginning of each half-term, differentiated spellings will be handed out. They will be tested weekly on Fridays.

In the Spring Term, daily short maths and English homework will be given and talked through/marked the following day in preparation for SATs. Weekend homework will stop at this point.

Please ensure that your child arrives at school in their PE kit on the days mentioned above.

All Year 6 class teachers have their surgery on Tuesdays at 3:15-4:00 pm
