This term, the children will be asked to complete the following homework:

• Daily reading
• Weekly spellings
• Mathletics 
• Times Tables on TTRockstars

In the run up to our SATs assessments in May, we have provided all the children with a revision book for Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling we are asking the children to complete. We will set a mini-test each week for the children to complete. This will typically be set on a Monday and will then be marked together in class the following Monday.

The following mini-tests have been set already:

• w/c 13th January - Test 1 in Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling

Along with this being a revision activity for the children, it also gives us a chance to fill gaps in children's learning that can come up as a result of this style of mixed activity. If your child finds a question in the revision books they cannot complete, you can either:

• ask your child to approach the Year 6 staff during the week to ask them for support. We will give them some guidance and send them back to see if they are now able to complete it. 
• research the grammar content independently to refresh their memory, then go back to the question having completed some independent research. 
• leave it and ask the Year 6 staff on the Monday.
