One of the main objectives in Year 6 is to help all of our children achieve their best in maths. Part of this effort will be to ask pupils to complete some short, arithmetic-focused homework which will help to consolidate their learning in class and help prevent avoidable errors in the various calculating methods.
The homework, which will be weekly, will be set on the Monday of each week and we will ask it to be returned to school by the Friday of the same week.
Whilst our homework procedures state a ‘no homework policy’, it does allow for Year 6 to complete some calculating practice, which this is a part of. The homework tasks are not compulsory, and there will be no expectation to complete it, nor sanctions applied for not completing it. However, we would strongly encourage all children to complete it, as it will be of great benefit to them in the long term.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Mr Edwards and Mrs Morgan
