6D home learning

By Miss Rebecca Snowdon19th January 2018

This week we have been concentrating on the inference skill in reading. For home learning please complete the questions, using the extract of The Jungle Book.

You should also complete the assigned tasks on mathletics, ensure that you are reading for at least 15 minutes every day and continue your close the gap spellings. Remember, that all tasks completed in school for self-study and at home should be recorded in your close the gap planner.

We have been introduced to a fun new website for spelling this week: spellingframe.co.uk

This website provides tests and practise games for all of the spellings rules for KS2 (from year 3 to year 6). Please do continue to use this at home but please make sure that you are practising the appropriate spelling rules. You could continue with our homophones spellings or do your own close the gap practise, using the gaps you have recorded for yourself in your planner. Try not to pick a rule at random and avoid spelling rules you are already a master of.

 

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Snowdon

Countess Way Year 6 home learning, due for Monday 27th November.

By Miss Rebecca Snowdon23rd November 2017

Last week, we began learning about recount writing for Project, to produce a recount piece about the ignite day we had on Fen Street back in September.

Please write your first draft of your ignite recount for home learning, to be in school for Monday. It is very important that everyone has a first draft in school for Monday morning, as we will be re-drafting these in class on Monday and Tuesday, to then hot task on Wednesday. This writing is going to be part of your SATs writing evidence. It is crucial that you can use lessons on Monday and Tuesday for re-drafting, rather than writing a first draft!

Please do use some time over lunch time today and tomorrow to make a start. This is highly recommended, as you will be able to see the working wall and all of the learning we have done so far. We also lots of recount examples in class to help you!

SC – Your recount needs:
– to be able to the events of the Codebreakers ignite day on Fen Street
– written in the past tense
– written in the first person
-interesting details of the day
– to include direct (speech marks) and indirect quotes
– clear paragraphs:
1) introduction: who? what? where? when? why?
2) Main body paragraphs (max of 3): detailed descriptions of events and tasks. Concentrate on how everyone felt doing it.
3) Conclusion: refer back to the introduction and the overall impression of the day.

You can either type your recount and email it to me or you can write it in your home learning book.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend. See you on Monday.

Next week is Sports Week!

Please be reminded that you will need to wear clothes suitable for sports and lots of activity (no jeans) all week – Sports Day colours on Tuesday please.

As part of Sports Week next week, you will be learning about why athletes’ careers typically end a lot sooner than most other careers. In preparation for this, please collect research about a well-known athlete. You will need to include:

  • What sport(s) they play professionally,
  • Any information about their fitness and training regime that you can find,
  • Information about the length of the athlete’s career.

You may present your research in a form of your choice, as long as it is presented clearly and to the year group standard.

Sports Week begins on Monday but you have until Wednesday to complete this task. Don’t forget that you need to aim for 60 mins of daily reading and at least 20 mins of Mathletics.

Have a lovely weekend.
