Homework

Year 6 have homework every day. Children are responsible for recording homework tasks and due dates in their homework diaries. Homework will be marked as it is returned, where possible, but must be returned on the day it is due.

Children in Year 6 are expected to read daily. Children should complete their reading records each time they read as these show preferences in literature and progress. Parents and carers are asked to hear their children read at least twice a week unless advised otherwise by the teacher. Please record your comments in the reading record.
