Welcome to Year 6

Class Information:

Homework:

• It is important for pupils in Year 6 to complete regular homework as this enables them to develop a good homework routine before moving to High School.

• Homework will vary throughout the year as during the Spring term it will be based largely on revision for SATs.

• Homework will be set on Thursdays and Fridays and be due back into school the following Monday.

• Pupils own independent reading is also encourage and will be very beneficial if this continues at home.

​

Reading:

• Most pupils will not read individually to the teacher in Year 6 but are encouraged to read frequently at home.

• Guided reading in groups and whole class reading books are used in class.

• Much of the reading in Year 6 is based on reading comprehension activities.
