Home Learning Tasks - Update 28.06.20

Hello Year Six

We have had so much fun this week with den building, pond dipping and many other outdoor activities

- even in some very hot temperatures

Thank you once again for your exceptional behaviour and hard work.

For those of you who are still staying at home, we want to ensure that you keep learning, so we have continued to set some MUST DO tasks for YOU to complete each week. In addition to these, we have also included further work relating to reading, writing and maths, and some extended connected learning tasks. It would be great if you could attempt all of the tasks, but we understand that this might be difficult for some of you.

You can email or upload your completed work for us to see.

Remember, you all have access to Sumdog and GrammarBug to complete different tasks also.

Remember - complete the MUST DO tasks, try your best and stay safe.

Update 30.03.20: Home learning for Y6 children

Please find below a list of activities to complete this week for Reading,Writing, Maths and Connected Learning. Mrs Cox has also provided you with instructions for an educational game, CLICK HERE

All of the documents are read only so you will need to save them on your device to edit them. I would recommend saving them as your name and the curriculum area e.g.

Writing1Your nameandsurname. 

Once you have completed your task,you can then upload it to the Sharepoint folder. Hopefully, there will be no issues as everyone's file will be called a different name and then we will have no issues of children overwriting others work.

Do not worry if you cannot send your work, you can complete it in your pink book that you took home.

Don't forget that you still have Sumdog and Timestable Roackstar to play on-I am keeping an eye on the leader boards to see how you are all getting on.

Reading

Writing. 

 Remember to try and use a range of punctuation and Year 6 writing features-expanded noun phrases, parenthesis etc

Maths

Animal Adaptation Game

Check back every day to find out how successful your animal is in the real  world. Leave a comment below of what adaptations you have chosen and why. Leave a comment during the week to explain how your animal is doing.
