Year 6 Homework 📚

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.

Regular reading is of great benefit to children’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. George’s we celebrate achievement in reading. As part of this, one child per class is chosen to be ‘Reader of the Week’ and are celebrated during Celebration Assembly. All children who have read 5 times per week, or the equivalent in pages are rewarded with a weekly ‘Reader’s Treat’ time.

Writing Challenge! ✏👸🐲

This week, we would like the children at home to get involved with our creative writing challenge! Each key stage will be given a different theme which will inspire them and give them a purpose for their writing.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a competition. The aim of this challenge is to encourage creative writing.

Key Stage 2- Ridiculous Writers

We challenge you to write a mini saga (a story told in 100 words) inspired by a ridiculous word pairing e.g. a story about the ‘Gangster Bogey’, the ‘Singing Biscuit’ or the ‘Forgetful Chef’.

Start by watching this short video to introduce the activity and then use the online idea generator to create a crazy combo for your ridiculous story.

Below are some resources to help you with this task including a PowerPoint and a planning sheet.

Ridiculous Writes- PowerPoint Presentation

Crazy Combo Generator- Paper Version

Pupil Worksheet

Don’t forget to send a copy of your story to your year group email address. We can’t wait to read your children’s ridiculous writing!
