Learning at home 

To be support learning: 

Spelling - Children have completed a spelling assessment to create a personlised spelling grid. They will practice their weekly words, little an oftenduring the school week and the same can be done at home. 

TT Rockstars - Timestable practice hugely supports children's maths progress. Log ins are on the inside cover of maths homework books. 

Reading - Children can choose books from school and record reading in their reading records. In Year 6, our focus is comprehension (discussion around the text, meanings, characters etc.) 

Homework - Set every Friday and due the following Wednesday. We'll be focusing on punctuality with homework to help prepare the children for their transition to secondary school.
