Weekly homework

Each week the homework set will reflect what we have been doing in class. This will give you a chance to practice what you have learnt independently. Please try to learn the spellings set too. Anyone who would like a 'Homework book'may request one at school. Homework should include reading every night. I have also given links to sites which will help you practice core skills to make you SATs ready. I will keep adding to these as we go through the year.

If you would like to get some quick practice materials for the children to revise skills at home I would highly recommend the CGP books on Amazon on the following link:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-SATS-Practice-Papers-Pack/dp/1789081246/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=CGP+SATs+practice+books+2021+Year+6&qid=1630436712&s=books&sr=1-3

They contain excellent little tasks to keep practicing core skills and are very good value for money.

Please read every day! 10 - 20 minutes. Talk about your book to someone; what is happening? What may happen next? Do you like the story? Look up difficult words, jot down their meaning and try to use them in your own writing.
