Year 6 Homework

Date set: Friday 25/9/2020

To be completed by: Wednesday 30/9/2020

 

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). 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)

 

  • according
  • awkward
  • conscious
  • dictionary
  • familiar
  • individual
  • neighbour
  • profession
  • sacrifice
  • system

 

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

 

Y6TH, YPH and Y6CT have begun a six day long ‘Battle of the Bands’ on TT Rockstars!

The children can earn points for their band each time they play. The three bands will be playing across the week, the objective is to try to earn as many points at home which can help their band to win!

The top scoring children from each band will be awarded with the MVP certificates which they will be able to take home. 

Look out for updates and the announcement of the winner and MVPs after the battle finishes at 12pm on Thursday.

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.
