Home Learning: Week beginning Monday 11th May
Hello Year 6.
From this week on all home learning is now on the Google Classroom. If you haven’t yet signed up, it would be great if you could try to do so this week as all our communication is happening there.
Hope to hear from lots of you this week on our GC.
Take care,
Miss White & Ms Fulton
Home Learning, Summer Term. Week beginning Monday 4th May
Hello Year 6!
Here we are in Week 3 of this term and we hope that you and all your families are still safe and well. It was lovely catching up with your adults last week on the phone and hearing that you’re all coping so admirably with the situation we find ourselves in. You are all so resilient and we really admire your steadfast and positive attitudes.
Below you will find our suggestions for some home learning tasks for this week. Remember to do only what is manageable for you and your family situation. As this Friday is a bank holiday, you will only see daily English and Maths up until Thursday.
We are hoping that today our Google Classroom platform will be up and running, so when your adults receive a message about this, it would be great if you could sign up.
For now, keep taking care of yourselves and your loved ones. You all remain in our thoughts.
Miss White and Ms Fulton

Home Learning, Summer Term. Week beginning Monday 20th April
Dear Year 6,
Hello! We hope you are all well, keeping safe and managing to keep yourselves busy in these very strange times. Know that we are missing you all enormously and hope that we will all be back in the classroom as soon as it is safe to do so.
Today would be the start of the Summer Term and we have been working on putting together online learning activities for you. Our number one priority is that you and your families are in good health and coping with being at home, away from school. The activities are designed to keep your brains active and minds occupied – please do not worry or stress about them.
Going forward, we will make sure activities for the week are uploaded onto our Year 6 page by 10am each Monday morning. There are daily tasks for English and Maths, some grammar exercises and a weekly topic lesson. Please work though the tasks at your own pace and create your own daily timetable. The first set of lessons for English are based on Harry Potter – we hope you enjoy them. The Maths covers areas learned in class; there is one topic per day and it should take around an hour. These are in addition to the online activities already set on The Spelling Shed and MyMaths.
You will also find some RE work. Each time we upload a unit, we will suggest how long you have to work through this before we post a new activity.
We thought you would like to do some Geography so have chosen ‘The Amazing Americas’ as your topic. Each week we will upload a PowerPoint with linked worksheet activities. The activities are on a PDF and for some of them you can choose your challenge. Be aware that we have also included the answers so it might be an idea for an adult to look through the challenges with you and you can complete them from the screen or print off the relevant sheet if you have access to a printer.
You should also be making sure you are keeping physically active, aiming for at least thirty minutes of exercise every day. Refer back to the list of online links for ideas – there is so much out there online and we thought you all probably know far more than we do! We have come across a yoga teacher offering free lessons for children twice a week via Facebook and recommended by The Independent newspaper: http://www.lvyoga.co.uk If your parents have a Facebook account you could give it a go. Also, Steve Backshall is doing a live Q&A every Wednesday at 9:30am on his YouTube channel followed by a live lesson: https://www.youtube.com/c/SteveBackshallOfficial
We hope you are keeping in touch with your friends on the phone and via social media. It is more important than ever for us to feel connected so do reach out to one another and of course, remember to be kind in your words and actions.
Please keep checking the website as we may add other links throughout the week.
We send our best wishes to you and your families; you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We miss you and hope to see you all very soon.
Warmest Wishes,
Ms Fulton and Miss White

RE – Pentecost:
Learning at Home Pentecost
We think you can do this work over the next two weeks so next week we won’t be posting a new task.
On page 1 of the document there is a link to a YouTube video where Margaret (the author of the RE scheme that we use in school) explains what the learning is all about. We would strongly recommend that you watch the video as this will really help you make sense of the activities.
Remember that you should be looking at the content for ‘older pupils’.
