With just 2 weeks until the end of year assessments, we have ramped up learning in class. The children are very clear about what they need to do and the areas that they need to develop. Please look at the ‘How to Help Your Child’ button on the link below. There are lots of resources for the children to access as well as the revision boxes that are in the classroom.
GPS
I have prepared a revision map word class sheet for you to have a go at. Once you have completed this, you will soon see any areas that you need to work on at identifying certain word classes. Once you have found the areas you found difficult, why not go to IXL to practise this!
Maths
Please complete the example reasoning SAT’s style word problems.
Keep practising your long divisions at home. I have left the video on to remind you.
Spellings
SPELLING FOCUS - i before e, except after c. This is a really tricky rule! Focus on it.
What other spelling rules do you need to revise?
cashier, priest, mischief, deceive, receipt, mischief, believe, brief, niece, diesel, hygiene, fierce, siege, grief, receive, perceive, inconceivable, yield, efficient, conscience
2) Below is a list of the Year 5 and 6 word list that children are expected to be able to spell by the end of Year 6. Why not take a look at them and see how many you know how to spell? How many do you know you need to work on?

OPTIONAL IXL STRANDS TO REINFORCE THIS WEEK’S LEARNING
HALF TERMLY OPTIONAL HOME LEARNING
In line with our new homework policy, each class will now have some optional tasks in addition to the set reading, spelling and Maths. Year 6 homework will look slightly different to other classes, as the need for reinforcement and revision is crucial on the run up to SAT’s, but then in Summer 2 term will follow the structure outlined on Mrs Gregan’s blog last week. The optional tasks below are for the whole term, some will build on previous learning and others will enrich this half term’s learning. Please click on the link below to view the tasks for this term. You can do these in homework books, as photos, powerpoints or however you like.
