English

 

 In Year 6 we base each of our units of writing work on a high-quality text. We write for the four purposes of writing- to entertain, to inform, to persuade and to discuss. These purposes are revisited across the year so the children are able to become familiar with each purpose and write with increased confidence and understanding.

We have a set list of spellings that we focus on in class each week. These are sent home in your child’s spelling books for your information. There is not an official spelling test but we will focus on these words in class and it would be great if you could encourage your child to spot the focus words in the books they are reading

Homework

 

Homework, will be set weekly on a Friday and collected in the following Friday. It will comprise of a maths task and a writing or reading task. My Maths may be used to set activities online.. Children should also aim to use TT Rockstars for approximately 20 minutes a week and read their reading book at least four times independently.

 

Things to remember!

 

 

PE Kit will be needed for a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Please try to remember these as children can not take part in physical lessons without it. We are aiming for 60 active minutes each day at school and PE lessons are an important part of this. Activity is essential for good health and supports mental wellbeing.
