Homework

Homework is set each Friday

Homework is due the following Wednesday

Homework will not be set during the holidays

Reading

Pupils are responsible for choosing when to change their school library book.  It is expected that pupils try to read everyday and that parents sign to say what pupils have read 5 times in a week.  Pupils can read anything - they are not restricted to their library book.  Newspapers, magazines, match reports etc are all great.  Just READ, READ, READ!  Some parents have been under the impression that they only complete the reading record when a book has been finished, however, we want a record of reading habits.  This means if pupils read for 5 minutes before they go to bed and only read 2 pages that is fine.  If they read for 10 minutes while waiting in the car, that is fine - simply record you reading habits.  

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Dr Seuss.

Maths

Pupils will be set one or two tasks on MyMaths every week.  All pupils have a copy of their User ID and Password in the front of their reading records.  They will first need to log in with the school User ID and Password.  See below:

School Log In

Username: wigton

Password: Circle275

Pupils can then use the 'My Portal' log in to access their account.

Please remember, there is no limit for the activities that pupils can access and they also have access to a range of maths games to enjoy!  Any homework set will be clearly displayed.

Spellings

Each week we will set a word list to practise on 'Spelling Shed'.  Pupils must complete at least one activity to show they have completed their homework, however, pupils are free to explore the platform, practise any word list and play games.  The more they play, the higher up the leader board they go.  Click the picture below to access Spelling Shed.

Reading Comprehension

A copy each week's reading comprehension task will be uploaded to the Year 6 Community page on DB Primary.  Pupils can complete the work on the sheet.  Blue pen or pencil only please.  Pupils will self mark the work and keep the sheet in a homework book in school.
