English

It is vitally important that the children read for at least 15 minutes every night and also have the opportunity to discuss what they have read. Below, you will find examples of questions you could ask your child to help them to gain a better understanding of what they read.

Spellings are given out on Thursday and tested the following Thursday. Spelling Lists will be sent to parents via Class Dojo. The children should also practise spellings from the Year 5/6 Spelling List in the middle section of their Reading Diaries.

Mathematics

My Y6 Maths Group are expected to be able to recall times tables facts rapidly and will be timed on a speed tables test regularly. Their challenge is to beat their score and their time so need to practise their tables often.
