Y6 Home Learning Friday 18th December

Date: 18th Dec 2020 @ 4:26pm

Year 6 Homework

Date set: 18/12/2020

To be completed by: Wednesday 6/1/2021

 

Children in Year 6 are expected to complete 60 minutes of homework each week.

Please help and support your child wherever possible. However, your child should be able to complete the work independently as it is linked to objectives taught during the week at school.

Although homework is now set through online platforms, your child’s teacher is able to see if your child has completed tasks set and how well they have understood the task. Rewards will be given to children for completing homework on time.

 

 

Maths – 20 minutes

 

Please login to your My Maths account (www.mymaths.co.uk). Your child’s passwords has been sent out on the Y6 newsletter. The activities that your child’s teacher has set should be visible in their personal account.

 

Please contact us if there is an issue with the site via teachers@dobcroft-jun.sheffield.sch.uk

Spellings – 20 minutes

 

Focus: Challenge words

 

These need to be practised and your child will be tested on their spelling list every Thursday (Y6PH) or Friday (Y6CT & Y6TH)

 

  • merciful
  • plentiful
  • beautiful
  • fearful
  • faithful
  • boastful
  • doubtful
  • thankful
  • pitiful
  • fanciful

 

In addition to these ten words, the children can practise the Year 5/6 spelling list, which is words the children are expected to know how to spelling at the end of year 6, please log into Spelling Shed and click on Stage 5/6 to play games based around these words.

 

Times Tables – 10 minutes

 

This week Y6PH cemented their status as TT Rockstar champions with four battles won in total. Y6TH played valiantly winning a second battle this week. A massive well done to the children in Y6CT and Y6TH who have continued to log on throughout the weeks and made it a real competition between the classes. Next week the leader board will be reset and the next tournament will begin between the Y6 classes. Who will be crowned TT Rockstar champions? Log in over the holidays and earn as many coins for your class as you can!

Remember, keep your accuracy and the speed will improve over time. Keep up the good work.

 

Children are expected to know their tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of Year 4. This knowledge needs to be retained and applied in a variety of mathematical contexts as they continue learning. Please ensure that tables knowledge is retained using Times Table Rockstars each week.

 

 

In addition to these: Reading

 

Please encourage your child to read with an adult at least 3 times per week for around 15 minutes. At this age, the time may be spent chatting about the text and the content of what they are reading rather than spending time decoding the text – you will know your child best in this respect.
