Reading in Year Six
Reading is a vital part of our learning and home reading is a wonderful opportunity to ensure all of our children reach their full potential. In Y6 we will all be allocated a reading book. This may be from our school scheme, ‘Reading Stars Planet’ or from our class library. We bring our reading books into school every day and our reading journal gets checked every Wednesday.
If we are reading a book from the reading scheme, we have to answer the questions at the end of the book in our journal to show we have understood what we have been reading.
An adult should listen to us read regularly through the week or spend some time discussing the novel we have been given to ensure we are enjoying and understanding the text. This is part of our weekly homework tasks.
Homework in Year Six
Each week in Year 6 we receive homework tasks to complete. These include:
English Homework is sent home on a Friday and will be in the form of a worksheet that will cover grammar or comprehension activities. The work set will supports learning completed in class that week.
Maths Homework is sent home on a Friday, to be completed and returned to school by the following Thursday. We have maths booklets that will be sent home in the middle of September. We need to make sure we keep this safe as we will be setting pages each Friday on our class dojo account to be completed.
Spellings – spelling lists are sent home on a Monday. The list does not need to be returned to class but we do need to spend time at home learning the rule for our test on Friday morning. Spelling scores will be sent home for parents to monitor how we are doing when our new list goes home on Monday.
Keep following your Rockstar ambitions and smash your tables with the TTRockstars programme!
PE Days in Year Six
PE days sometimes change throughout the year. We keep parents updated about this using Class Dojo. You can come into school wearing your PE kit that day. For indoor PE we should wear a white t-shirt and white or black shorts, with black pumps. For outdoor PE we can wear a plain, dark tracksuit (black or blue), especially in the winter, and trainers to keep our feet dry!
