Homework focus

Day set

Day due

Reading: Pupils need regular reading sessions.

Encourage your child to: decode unfamiliar words themselves; use expression and  ask them questions about their reading.

Parents are encouraged to comment in the child’s reading record book, shared by all adults involved. It is also useful to read books to your children - modelling expression and asking questions about the book.

Your child may also be given reading comprehension questions – these are most important and they help them with inference and deduction – an area of reading that a lot of KS2 children can struggle.

Maths

Tasks/ Nuggets will be sent home each week on Century Tech. If you are struggling to access Century Tech  please let us know and we can sort it.   

TIMES TABLES: Each week children in year 5/6 are expected to learn or revise their tables. They should revise how their times tables can support their knowledge of other facts e.g. 40 x 60 and 0.5 x 7. This can be done on TT Rockstars.  Children should  access TT Rockstars at least twice a week. Little and often is the key for TT Rockstars.

This research/ preparation homework will be clearly explained by the class teacher and a print-out explaining the task will be sent home as well.
