Learning at Home
Homework
Year 6 children need to draw on all of the learning skills they have developed during their time at Wheatcroft. Two of the key skills they need to draw upon are independence and their ability to be resourceful learners. The children are expected to do at least half an hour of homework each weeknight, incorporating 10 minutes of reading, 10 minutes of spelling practice and 10 minutes of TT Rockstars. In addition to this, the children will receive some additional pieces of homework based around our focus at that time, particularly after Christmas when they will receive arithmetic homework and SPAG.com login details.
To help them keep track of this, the children receive home-school diaries. The children's spellings will be written in here each week. There is also space in here for you to record what your children have being doing at home. Children's diaries will be checked each Wednesday to look at what learning they have been doing at home. Spellings will be tested each Wednesday too.
It's great to see the Year 6 children take control of their learning and we will always be delighted to look at things they have done at home. Happy learning!
