Homework in Y6

Homework will be given out on a Friday and needs to be returned to school on a Thursday. If it is not returned, children will need to stay in at break.

Additionally, children are expected to have at least one written adult comment/signature per week in their reading diary. This will be checked on a Friday and children will, again, stay in at break if they have not got them. The more the better!

This term our topic is ‘Land of the Free’ where we are discovering all things American. As part of this topic, we will be learning about America, including: landmarks, states, Native Americans, extreme weather, significant events in American history and lots more. We have planned our learning together and have created key questions to explore.

In our Science topic, we will be learning about living things and their habitats during Autumn 1.

Y6 HOMEWORK PROJECT 16/11 – 13/12

Homework Project

This half-term homework project is your own choice. You need to think about something you are interested in eg. animals, football, The Romans, Music, Lego etc.

You will need to create something to share and discuss with the class. This might be something you have made with notes, it might be a computer PowerPoint presentation, it might be a scrap book etc. It is up to you. However, the homework needs to represent 4 weeks of work.

This will be due in on Thursday 13th December

Thank you

Miss Hailey and Miss Booth

HOMEWORK WEEK 1 AUTUMN 2

‘Know-vember’

Throughout the month of November, we are going to be participating in ‘Know-vember’ to improve our number fluency. This will include quick mental recall of times table facts, number bonds and calculations that are closely linked such as 3 x 6 and 30 x 60. A good knowledge and understanding of these is essential throughout the Numeracy curriculum hence why it is a specific focus of ours for this month and therefore also the children’s homework for this week.

The best posters from each class will be copied for our working walls. If you need a piece of paper, just ask an adult!

Here is a reminder of BODMAS:
