Supporting Your Y6 Child at Home

The most purposeful way of supporting your child at home would be to read with them as often as you can. This will mostly take the form of reading their school book with them, but does not have to be limited to this. Sharing a novel that you have at home is also a great way of developing that love of reading.  

Weekly Spellings:

Throughout the year, the weekly spelling lists will be given out in class. If your child does not get them for any reason please direct them back to their class teacher
