Year 6 Homework ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ–‹

In Year 6, children are given 1 piece of maths and 1 piece of English homework per week linked to what has been taught during lessons, as well as the weekly spellings. The homework will be given out on a Thursday (Set 3 Friday) and needs to be returned the following Wednesday. Homework will be marked during the following Thursday’s lesson (Friday for Set 3) with the children, in order to address any misconceptions.

Regular reading is of great benefit to childrenโ€™s learning. We strongly encourage the children to read at length as often as possible, recording what they have read in their reading records. It is advantageous for children to read a wide range of text genres including: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, magazines etc.

At St. Georgeโ€™s we celebrate achievement in reading. As part of this, one child per class is chosen to be โ€˜Reader of the Weekโ€™ and are rewarded and celebrated during Celebration Assembly. All children who have read 5 times per week, or the equivalent in pages are rewarded with a weekly โ€˜Readerโ€™s Treatโ€™ time.
