These are some homophones that Year 6 need to learn – remember it’s not the spellings that are tricky but knowing when to use them. This means you need to practise using them in sentences correctly.

Here are some homophones that we should be using correctly already (but don’t). Practise using these correctly too.

There’ll be no test next week. Instead we’ll see how our homophone learning is going, identify some we’re finding more difficult and then we’ll be tested on them the following week.
We will be working on the 2 times table next week which the children will be tested on on Friday 14 September. Because we should know our two times tables inside out, we’ll be working on known facts, such as:
- If 4 x 2 = 8, 4 x 20 = 80
- If 6 x 2 = 12, 6 x 0.2 = 1.2
