South Ascot Village School
Year Six
Year 6 (Friday 17th April – Friday 24th April 2026):
Talk Homework:
Your question to discuss with your peers, parents and other adults over the next week is as follows:
What’s the difference between living and existing?
Reading:
Remember: we have now moved to PageTicker for logging our reading. We are seeing lots of great books popping up on the system and many pages being read (by most!) each day. Continue to put your reading progress through the app and rate the books when you finish them. By the end of the year, we will have a great bank of books to recommend to future children!
Spellings:
There is going to be slightly more writing to do this week. I have provided the definitions of 20 words that are commonly used but not necessarily always understood. You still need to write 10 sentences, but each one needs to have TWO of these words. Think about how you can pair words up to create cohesive, logical sentences:

Number:
Attached are 2 arithmetic papers to complete. You need to do BOTH of them (as they are 'half' papers). Mark schemes are attached so you can then add your scores together to get a full score. Who can be like ZD, BA, GC and AO by getting 40/40?!
