Reading
In Year 6, the children will continue to choose their own books to read where they can pick from the book corner, the school's library or a book of their own. Not only does this promote independence but the children pick books that interest them and therefore get more enjoyment from their reading. The children should be reading 5 times a week and this should also include reading with an adult, where an adult can extend their understanding by asking questions about the text.
Homework
The children will be set weekly homework on a Friday which will then be due the following Thursday. This will include reading, maths and spellings. Thank you for all of your support with the homework last term.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me either through the school office or email me at imogen.goldsmith@more-park-westmalling.kcsp.org.uk
