For more information on what will be covered this in all lessons this term please see the Spring Term Curriculum Overview attached below.
Homework and supporting schoolwork at home is more important than ever. Our homework will continue the focus on spellings required for your child (Y3-6 words) and fluency of arithmetic skills. This will switch to a revision focus later in the year. Reading remains the most important thing to do to support your child's learning. See the list of Recommended Y6 reads for ideas for good books at the right level.
Thank you,
