Welcome to Mrs. Pickup's Year 6 Class Page!

• Homework is given out every Thursday - it is to be handed in by the following Wednesday.
• Spellings are taken from the No Nonsense scheme.
• PE kit to be in school all week.

Homework:

Every week the children are given the following homework:

 Daily reading

Timetable recall

Spellings, including the statutory lists from Y2 to Y6

Topic except for the Spring Term where the focus is on revision and consolidation through the use of Sats Companion and Mathsletics. 

With this, children will be better prepared for the expectations of high school.

Throughout the year we are working on growing both our brains and mindsets. Have a look at the Class Dojo site and see how it can also help you to master your mistakes and create a growth mindset. 

A good site for spelling revision is: spelling frame.co.uk

On this you can play games, hear the words and learn or revise the spelling patterns learnt throughout KS2.

Have a go by clicking the link above.

REVISION IDEAS FOR Y6

The children are encouraged to undertake a regular programme of revision alongside their usual weekly homework tasks.  This should be guided by information given to them individually through the children's individual strengths and areas for improvement discussed with Mrs. Pickup.

To help them along the way we have found some sites which they may find useful.   Many of these are interactive and use brief tutorials or engage the children to use their knowledge through the playing of games.  These should be used alongside  Study Guides to help with their practise and revision.

Maths and English Practice- take a look at some of the sites mentioned below to help with your preparation for the KS2 SATs in May: 

IXL have separate pages of skills linked to individual Year groups. The Y6 page has links to practise both English and Maths skills. Pages are then split into skills with a practise question for the children to think about.

BBC Education has produced a whole selection of materials for KS2. Follow the KS2 link and then select either Maths or English. Each area usually has an information section for reading, plus an activity and then quiz which is then marked online. Some aspects require a subscription.

A site with links to old style Key Stage 2 Maths Papers, Maths Tutorials as well as Maths Games. Some of these games are linked to Memory and would therefore, help pupils to retain key information.
