Homework for 19th November - 26th November
Year 5:
English: In your homework folder, you have a sheet called 'Past and Present Tense'. Read the questions carefully and answer them on the sheet.
Maths: In your homework folder, you have a sheet called 'Multiply by 10, 100 and 1000'. Read the questions carefully and answer them on the sheet. I have also provided a separate piece of squared paper for any workings out if needed.
Year 6:
This year, Year 6 pupils have been given three CGP 10 Minute Test books to help them revise and prepare for their end of year tests. They will complete one test from each of the three books for their homework each week.
Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling: Pages 33, 34, 35 and 36.
Reading: Pages 28, 29 and 30.
Maths: Pages 26, 27 and 28.
Once you have completed each test, you should use the answers found at the back of each book to see how you did!
If you would like some additional activities to complete, you can find them below:
Activities for Reading
- At least 10 minutes of daily reading of their school book (this should be recorded in their homework diary).
- Discuss the text your child is reading, questioning their understanding. Advice on how to read effectively with your child can be found here: https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/one-dot-com/one-dot-com/uk/documents/Learner/Primary/Primary%20parents/Pearson_EnjoyReading_03.pdf
- Access Bug Club online, and answer the variety of interactive questions based on the eBook they are reading.
Activities for Spelling
