If you need some ideas for new books to enjoy, please have a look at the suggested reading list for year 6 on our class page. Your reading diaries will be collected in every Tuesday so please have your diaries signed so we can see evidence of home reading - Dojos will be awarded!!
Don't forget to extend your learning by answering the questions in the cover of your reading books.
Times tables
Please continue to practise your times tables regularly and use Times Table Rock Stars and Monster Multiplication (on Purple Mash) as often as you can.
Independent learning
You may wish to do your own independent research or activities based on some of our topics in science, history or geography. You may complete some art or computing work that you would love to show us. You might even wish to share an achievement or an award you have received. Feel free to bring any work in to school to share with us and we can add it to our class floorbook.
