Reading at home |
Children are expected to read to an adult at home for at least 10 minutes daily. In Sycamore, children are responsible for changing their own reading books from the correct bookshelf and checking in with Mrs Robinson once they have done so. Reading books and homework diaries need to be in school every day. I am more than happy for children to also read their own books from home which are appropriate for their age. |
|
Weekly Homework |
Maths and English Homework are set weekly. Homework is set on Thursday and due in on Tuesday. |
|
Spelling |
Please see attached list of words below. These are the spellings that children are expected to learn to spell by the end of Year 6. |
