How is your reading going this week? Make sure you find time to fit in at least 30 minutes of reading each day.
Have a read of chapter 12 and click below for your challenges.
How are you getting on with your maths? Keep up with the great work.
I wonder what Mrs Curtis has planned for you this week, go and have a look to see.
Welcome to Thursday’s home learning activities. Have a lovely day.
Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.
Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.
Day 4:
Watch and listen to the story ‘Stuck’ by clicking the front cover below:
Marvel and gasp at all the things Floyd threw into the tree that got stuck! Can you remember them all at the end of the story? Look back/listen again to check.
Today you are going to write your own version of Stuck. Think about: Who will your main character be? What items will he/she throw into the tree that will get stuck? (Remember to start with everyday things, before your list becomes more imaginative! You can make your list as funny and as quirky as you like!) What will be the last item thrown that will mean the kite comes unstuck? Make a list or series of pictures to act as a plan.
You may choose to use some of Oliver Jeffers’ sentence starters, e.g.
It all began when …
The trouble REALLY began when …
In order to knock down …
You could also use or make comments as he does too, e.g.
This was getting ridiculous!
Unbelievably, that got stuck too!
I’m sure you can guess what happened!
Write your story, checking each sentence as you write. Keep going back and reading your story out loud to check you are happy with it.
Share your story with your family!
Choose a spelling rule to focus on today.
Watch the learning video and then complete the activities below.
Which sections do you have left to complete? Have a look and see how many you can get through.
I have set two games on Purple Mash for you to play this week:
Bond Bubbles and Sequence Snake
Unfortunately at the end of this week, our SumDog subscription will come to an end. Therefore this week, you can just simply enjoy playing the games that you have loved using in your learning throughout your time at home.
Enjoy your day,
Miss Woodend

Listen to the story: Paddington Goes for Gold by Michael Bond
Can you make a list of sports events that you and your teddy bears/toys can join in with at your picnic?
You could draw some pictures and label them so that your teddy bears/toys know what the events will look like and what they have to do.
You could even make some medals for the winners of each event. What will you write on the medal? What did Paddington’s medal say?

There’s lots of wonderful things to eat’. This is a line from the Teddy Bears’ Picnic song. Talk about the wonderful things will you eat at your picnic. Make a list of the things that you will eat. You might even need to make a shopping list of things that you need to buy.
What do teddy bears like to eat? Do you know what Winnie the Pooh likes to eat? Can you remember what Paddington likes to eat? You might like to include some of these in your picnic, but don’t forget to include your favourites too! You might need to look at some recipes.
Listen to and enjoy the 1950 Bing Crosby recording of Teddy Bears’ Picnic again:
Look at the images and spot all the ideas for picnic treats.

Day 3:
Read and enjoy the opening extract from ‘The Day the Crayons Came Home’ by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers by clicking the front cover below:
You can listen and enjoy the whole book here:
Imagine you are another item in Duncan’s pencil case, e.g. a ruler, pencil sharpener, highlighter pen, biro. Write a postcard to Duncan to add to the collection sent to him.
Think about: What job did you originally have in the pencil case? Did you enjoy your job? Might you have any memorable stories to remind Duncan of? What has happened to you since you were last with Duncan? E.g. Have you been travelling to any exciting places? What might you like to ask Duncan now?
As if you are the ruler, pencil sharpener, highlighter etc. write your postcard to Duncan.
Rehearse each sentence out loud before you write to check it makes sense. Keep reading your work as you write to check for spelling and punctuation too.
If you can, send your finished postcard to me! I could then end up with a class set of postcards from various pencil case items! I can’t wait!
Choose a spelling rule to focus on today.
Watch the learning video and then complete the activities below.

Day 2:
Watch and listen to ‘Here We Are’ by clicking the front cover below: (please note, this version contains some American spellings)
Talk about the book. Ask your child: Who do you think Oliver Jeffers wrote this book for? Why do you think he wrote the book? (He wrote it for his baby son to help him make sense of the world).
It is full of key advice. Listen to the clip again and pause at key points to make a note of the advice Oliver Jeffers gives throughout the book, e.g. You have a body. Look after it, as most bits don’t grow back. Some pieces of advice are given to you; others you will have to read between the lines and discuss! Do you agree with the advice he gives? Can you think of any other advice you would like to add?
Create a poster with the book title: Here We Are in the middle. Around the outside in boxes or bubbles, write down the advice that Oliver Jeffers gives.
Colour and decorate your poster to make it as attractive as possible. Display your poster in your house – somewhere where everyone can see!
Choose a spelling rule to focus on today.
Watch the learning video and then complete the activities below.

English
Welcome to your first Viking myth. It would be really good if you could read it aloud to a grown up. You need to read up to and including page 9 then answer the first sheet of questions.
WE ARE FOCUSING ON INFERRING CHARACTERS’ THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS in this comprehension
Then continue to read the rest and answer the second sheet.
I have included the answers so you can self-mark. Your answer might not be in exactly the same words as mine. Use your best judgement to see if you are saying the same/similar thing but in different words!
Maths
Today I have done you a revision video of all the things you have learned about decimals. I want you to have your maths book in front of you and take part in all the guided practice screens I do with you.
It is a bit long - so you may want to do half then have a little break. But you must focus and follow the progression.
Then you have a nice bit of Art.

Please look at the Art page to see what Mrs Curtis wants you to do today!
Good morning Year 6. I hope that you had a lovely day of learning yesterday. Thank you to those children who sent me their memories, I have updated the website with their names now. I will be sending a text today to the parents of the children whose memories I have not received yet.
