Year 6

This is where you will find access to 'Class Newsletters' which will be uploaded every half term. They will provide you with information about what the pupils will be learning about in class and could be informative in supporting your child at home. Hard copies will also be sent home with your children every half term.  

This week's homework and spellings

Pupils will be given project homework every Thursday to complete at home. This could be something written or practical. 

Project Homework: 28.09.23

In History we have been learning about children during the Industrial Revolution and the jobs they had to do. For homework you need to write a diary entry imagining you are a child working during this time.

You could be down the mines, in a factory or in a workhouse. Think about the jobs you have to do, how long you work, how you feel each day and the conditions you work in.

Additional Homework:

Addition homework will be set on a range of platform. Pupils will have their relevant logins in their reading records and work will be set weekly. 

Spellings

These will be sent home every Thursday and can be found in homework books. Pupils will be tested on their spellings weekly. Activities will also be set on EdShed.

Purple Mash will have activities set linked with science, history or geography and reflect the learning in class. Pupils can used these activities to consolidate their learning.
