Spellings

Use Spellodrome to practise this half-term's spellings - at least 10 minutes each day in addition to practising writing them out in your 'Spelling Book' ready for this week's spelling test. Remember- if you are struggling to get all of your minutes in, you now have some dedicated 'Spellodrome' time in school during your lunchtimes (or for a few of you, during 'Spelling' time in class. If this homework is not completed, you will be expected to make up the time - during your lunchtimes and playtimes - next week.

Maths

One of the Year Six Expected maths outcomes is to have a secure recall of certain fraction families and their equivalent decimals and percentages. We have spent a lot of time practising these in class but I have attached the sheet with all those on that you need to know. You will be tested on your recall of these next Monday. Just like times tables, having a secure recall of these will help you in many areas of maths over the rest of this year and in to secondary school.

The target time to spend, as usual, is 30 minutes by Friday morning.
