These are some homophones that Year 6 need to learn – remember it’s not the spellings that are tricky but knowing when to use. 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 will be a spelling test on Friday 21 September. I will show a sentence with a missing word and the children will have to write down the correct spelling of the homophone in that sentence.
We’ll continue to work on the 2 times table next week on which the children will be tested on Friday 21 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
- If 24 / 2 = 12, 240 / 2 = 120
- If 12 / 2 = 6, 1.2 / 2 = 0.6
