Year 6 Homework Projects

Now that the children have finished their SATs exams, and once the writing assessments are complete, we will be focusing on our residential trip and end of year productions, as well as catching up with computing and topic. We have included a list of activities below that you may like to do with your children instead of traditional homework. If they would like to make a presentation or bring in some photos of themselves doing some of these activities we would love to share them with the class, however there is no expectation from us for them to do this.

Kind regards

The Year 6 Team J
