In English, we are reading and writing character and setting descriptions linked to significant authors.

In maths, we are further developing our understanding of fractions, recognising unit and non-unit fractions and finding equivalents (Year 6 simplifying fractions).

 

Homework books will be given out each Friday and the tasks need to be completed and handed in by the following Tuesday. Please see the guidance in the front cover of the homework book. Individual words to read, write and spell are on the first page of the homework book. Key facts to learn and revisit are included in the back of the homework book, Each week additional homework information is included on our class page below.
