Year 6 at Eggbuckland Vale Primary School

About this class
‍
^‍

We are looking forward to a great year together in the final, very special, stage of your Eggbuckland Vale Primary School journey!

Reading:

The most important homework in our opinion is regular reading. An important factor in Year 6 is stamina with reading and in order to build this up, the children need to be reading regularly both in school and at home. The children are expected to be reading at least 3 times a week at home and should be recording the page number they get to, as well as getting their reading diaries signed each week by an adult at home.

‍

Spellings:

All children will have spellings to learn; given out on a Friday and tested the following Friday. Children can access their spelling list on Edshed and will be expected to practise these during the week. Your child will also be given a paper copy so they can practise using Edshed online or in writing. This is a key element of meeting the age-related expectations in writing, and forms part of the SATS tests.

‍

Homework:

A piece of English and Maths as well as a spelling list will be given out on Fridays to behanded in on the following Friday. The work will be explained in the lessons but do ask for help in the week if there are problems and we will be more than happy to help in school. We will sometimes set homework online instead of handing out sheets via SATs Bootcamp. Each piece should take no more than half an hour. If your child has worked for this time, they can stop and if you could put an initial on their work, that would be great. Thank you! If your child wants to tell you about their learning at school, please encourage them, as this helps embed the knowledge they are learning.
