Dear Parents/ Carers and all year 6 pupils,
We will update this page daily with lessons that your child can complete whilst the school is closed. Some of the work we set will need to be completed in the exercise book provided. Other pieces of work can be completed in the work books provided or online. Each day, we will provide work for the core subjects : Maths and English. In addition to this, we will set topic work which can be completed over the course of the week.
When children return to school all work completed should be returned to school so that teachers can see what your child has been able to do.
1: Core Subjects
Maths
Please can your child aim to complete a good chunk of maths (approx 1 hour) each school day from the options below:

English - Reading:
We have included some comprehension sheets and a 10 minute Reading test book that the children have been using in school. Children should aim to read for 20 minutes (or more if you choose) a day, either from their reading book, comprehension booklet or online.
