Homework

Each week on a Monday, the children will receive a maths and an English homework activity which is to be handed in by the following Friday. This year, homework will be set on Google Classroom. Your child has been given their login details so that they can access this at home. The homework every week for both maths and English will be in the form of a short quiz. The homework is chosen to reflect and consolidate the work we are covering that week in class.  The children should not spend more than 20 minutes a night on their homework. We all need our rest!

Daily Reading:

Reading plays a vital role in every aspect of a child’s learning, and we strongly encourage all our pupils to read at home each day. In Upper Key Stage 2, the expectation is that children are reading daily – even just 10 minutes a day can make a big difference! Of course, if they’d like to read for longer, that’s even better. Please continue to record your child’s reading in their reading record, which should be brought into school each day so it can be checked by their teacher.

Year 6 Homework (January to May):

In order to give our Year 6 children as much confidence as possible going into SATS week in May, we have sent the children home with the following books: a SATS revision guide for English (containing both reading and grammar practice), a revision guide for maths as well as a 10 minute SATS buster booklet for maths, reading and spelling punctuation and grammar (SPAG). The children should complete these as their regular homework each week as directed in the timetable below (a copy has been stuck into the front of each child’s reading record and can be found on Google Classroom as well as the school website). Each test should take no more than 10 minutes each and answers can be checked at the back of the booklet by the children. 

Please can we ask that children do not write in the revision guides as we would like these returned at the end of the year to be used again. The children can of course write in the 10 minute SATS buster booklets.
