Date: 19th Jan 2022 @ 10:03am
Dear Parent/ Carer
In our Year 6 learning pack, we have included the following:
Y5 and 6 spelling list. These spellings will be tested throughout the school year and there will be an expectation that the children spell these correctly, not only when tested, but also in their independent writing in order to gain the expected standard for writing at the end of Y6.
Subordinating conjunctions list. These words will be used regularly in their speaking and listening lessons and in their writing (across the curriculum), and again, there will be an expectation to spell these correctly when used.
Arithmetic tests. Children will have weekly arithmetic sessions both in school and as part for their homework. The arithmetic skills the children need to learn in Y6 to achieve the expected standard in maths are:
- Addition and subtraction up to 6 digits
- Multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 100
- Multiplication up to a 4 digit number multiplied by a single digit or a 3 digit number multiplied by a 2 digit number.
- Division up to a 4 digit number divided by a 2 digit number
- Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions
- Finding fractions of amounts
- Finding percentages of quantities
- BODMAS
Reading challenges. Children will be expected to read at home daily and record this in their reading records which are monitored weekly. They will also have daily reading sessions in school. These cards provide some of the types of questions the children will be expected to answer in Y6 to attain the expected standard in reading.
