Year 6 - Mr Mussell Homework

Homework is important as it helps your child to practise the skills they have learnt in school. Encouraging and supporting them to complete it on time will ensure they understand everything that is being taught in lessons.

We will set Maths, Comprehension and Spellings every Friday. This is a key part of your child’s learning and we expect it to be completed and handed in by the following Thursday.  We will also be offering further opportunities to extend learning with mini projects and extension activities.  These will be published under the homework tab so please look out for these. 

If your child is not sure about the homework please encourage them to speak to their teacher before Thursday.


Maths homework is set weekly. Visit www.mymaths.co.uk and login at the top of the page using your school username and password. On the next page enter your personal username and password in the My Portal box.
