Daily Essentials
Times Tables and Mental Maths - Please practise your times tables and other mental maths skills using a preferred method.
Square and Cube Numbers - A big part of Year 6 is being able to recall Square and Cube numbers up to 12 quickly and accurately. See how many you can learn by practising some each day. (For Example: 22 = 2x2 = 4 53 = 5 x 5 x5 = 125)
Reading - Please read your school reading book every day. Should you finish it you could create a book review to tell other children about the book.
We encourage children to read for pleasure every day. Please see below in the documents section for a list of recommended texts for Year 6.
Spelling - Please learn your school spellings which you will be tested on in school. Below there is a document including the Year 5 and 6 National Curriculum words. Each day you could choose a few these words and make a poster, acrostic poem or other mnemonic device to help you to remember the spellings. Try to choose what you would consider the trickier words from the list.
