Y6 spellings for Week 4

The words this week are the following:

caught
century
busy
decide
difficult
centre

Encourage your children not to use capital letters inappropriately as this will impact on assessments later on in the year. Unless a word requires a capital letter it should always be in lower case.

Spellings for Wednesday 19th

To support with understanding definitions for spellings, the ‘Collins children’s cobuild dictionary’ is a very useful tool.

Due to the changes in the Literacy curriculum children in Year 6 are expected to be secure with all KS2 spellings. There will be no choice of spellings, in terms of degree of difficulty. All children, of all abilities, need to learn the following for next week:
actual learn
early group
heard circle
often build
eight eighth

Y6 homework due on Wednesday 19th September

1.Read at least 3 times and ask an adult to sign your reading diary to confirm.
2. Learn your spellings. Complete detailed sentences and definitions in your homework book.
3. Complete the blank times tables grid
4. Complete the science activity – this has a literacy focus also, so writing should be of a high standard. We have started to look at classification and children are asked to create a poster (not a Powerpoint presentation) to describe what each of the groups are like. Complete in homework book, not on a separate piece of paper please.
With the science activity it is important that children demonstrate their understanding of the different classifications that have already been introduced to them in class. They may want to focus on 2 different kingdoms and present factual information about each one or they could present all the different kingdoms in one piece of work.
