Year 6 Homework

Date set: 23/10/2020

To be completed by: Wednesday 4/11/2020

Children in Year 6 are expected to complete 60 minutes of homework each week.

Please help and support your child wherever possible. However, your child should be able to complete the work independently as it is linked to objectives taught during the week at school.

Although homework is now set through online platforms, your child’s teacher is able to see if your child has completed tasks set and how well they have understood the task. Rewards will be given to children for completing homework on time.

Maths – 20 minutes

Please login to your My Maths account (www.mymaths.co.uk). Your child’s passwords has been sent out on the Y6 newsletter. The activities that your child’s teacher has set should be visible in their personal account.

Please contact us if there is an issue with the site via teachers@dobcroft-jun.sheffield.sch.uk

Maths Recap of Knowledge

To help Year 6 children recap previous learning, we revise a chunk each week and then see how much we can recall on a Friday morning. Their facts to recap this week are:

Year 6 Maths Knowledge

Multiplication and Division Vocabulary

Term	Definition	Example
factor	a number that divides exactly into another number	factors of 12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
common factor	factors of two numbers that are the same	common factors of 8 and 12 = 1, 2, 4
prime number	a number with only 2 factors: 1 and itself	2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…
composite number	a number with more than two factors	12 (it has 6 factors)

Learn/recap the following information – we will stick this sheet into our maths books after half term with gaps missing to see how much we know!

Spellings – 20 minutes

Focus: Challenge words

These need to be practised and your child will be tested on their spelling list every Thursday (Y6PH) or Friday (Y6CT & Y6TH)

ancient
cemetery
criticise
equipped
government
leisure
opportunity
recognise
sincerely
variety

In addition to these ten words, the children can practise the Year 5/6 spelling list, which is words the children are expected to know how to spelling at the end of year 6, please log into Spelling Shed and click on Stage 5/6 to play games based around these words.

Times Tables – 10 minutes

This half-term the three Year 6 classes will be going head to head competing to be crowned TT Rockstar champions. This will be the first battle to be played using the Y6 cohort leader board format as seen below. The winning class each week will receive MVP certificates to take home as well as extra reward time at some point during the week. The class who has the most wins by the end of next term will receive a TT Rockstar trophy to stay in their class until another class challenges them for the title.

Remember, keep your accuracy and the speed will improve over time. Keep up the good work.

Children are expected to know their tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of Year 4. This knowledge needs to be retained and applied in a variety of mathematical contexts as they continue learning. Please ensure that tables knowledge is retained using Times Table Rockstars each week.

In addition to these: Reading

Please encourage your child to read with an adult at least 3 times per week for around 15 minutes. At this age, the time may be spent chatting about the text and the content of what they are reading rather than spending time decoding the text – you will know your child best in this respect.
