Year 6 Home Learning- Week beginning 4th May 2020. Hello Year 6. We hope you are making the most of your time at home and most importantly staying safe. This week we have added a full PowerPoint with all of the activities and sheets needed for the week’s home learning. It may be easier for you to download just the PowerPoint as opposed to lots of separate sheets.

BBC Bitesize are now offering independent work online for children to tackle during this home learning period. Please feel free to follow their scheme and lessons if this is the best option and relieves some of the pressure of home schooling.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zncsscw/year-6-lessons/1 GET ACTIVE: You can continue with Joe Wicks workouts if that is something you are enjoying. Alternatively, Mr Byrne has set up an at home fitness challenge; he has emailed parents the details and instructions. Please give this a go, we would love to see and hear about your results. MATHS: Have a go at the arithmetic test we have sent (time yourself for 30 mins and then go back after with a different pen and mark- edit any answers you got wrong).

There are also 4 x 10 minute challenges that focus on different areas of the Y6 curriculum. Don’t panic- you don’t have to be strict with the 10 minutes, take as long as you need. Also, please continue to use sumdog and times table rockstars. GDS: we have attached an activity if you want an extension or fancy a super challenge! ENGLISH: This week you have a week long project to work on. We would like you to research, plan and present a detailed biography about a famous sportsperson. Step 1: Read the WAGOLL and then choose a sportsperson that you would like and spend some time researching information about them. Make notes. Step 2: Think about what sections you are going to need and plan these in a way that suits you (you could use the planning sheet attached). Step 3: Either using a computer/handwritten, begin to write out your biography. NO copy and pasting!

Toolkit for writing: - Capital letters and full stops- A range of conjunctions (FANBOYS +
