Daily Essentials

Times Tables and Mental Maths -  Please practise your times tables and other mental maths skills using a preferred method. We will have a x tables test on a Wednesday morning every two weeks.

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.
