Y6 Summer Overview
Maths Arithmetic and handwriting/ spelling homework will be set on a FRIDAY and should be handed in the following FRIDAY.
When working on your spellings, at least 5 of the words should be written in sentecnes to help with your understanding of them in context.
 
Reading journals and reading books should be brought into school EVERYDAY.
READING 
 
At home, you should be reading AT LEAST 4 times per week. You will have your own individual reading book and should make sure you log all your reading in your reading journal.
 
We will also be encouraging you to read a wide range of genres this year too - why not choose something to read that is different to the books you would usually go for? Visit our Reading for Pleasure section for more ideas!
ReadTheory
 
You will be given a reading comprehension to complete each week. This will help to consolidate and develop a range of reading skills and techniques.
Times Table Rockstars
 
Knowledge of times tables facts is a key basic tool for success in Maths. In Y6, you need to know these crucial number facts by heart and be able to apply them with speed and accuracy so that you can tackle more complex maths problems such as fractions, decimals and percentages. You should complete a minimum of two games on the tables that have been set for you each week.
