Week Commencing 11th May

Welcome to Summer Term - Week 4

Well done Year 6 - You are all smashing this home learning 'lark' and we are all so proud of you. Keep it going! 

On this page you will find the Maths, English and Topic tasks for you to complete this week. The tasks will also be available on the Year 6 Google Classroom pages so that you can share your work with us. You can share the completed tasks in a number of ways. Either complete them in a Google Doc and share it with your class teacher or complete it in your home learning book and take a photograph of your work and attach it to the assignment on Google Classroom - or get an adult to email it to the Year 6 email address - year6@sholing-jun.co.uk. Either way, the tasks set out on here need to shared with us in some way by the end of each week.

Daily Tasks include:

• Maths using the White Rose Hub (click here) https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/
• English: These will either be a reading comprehension task, skills based task or a Big Write two day task.
• Reading aloud to an adult.

Weekly Task include:

• One topic based investigation or project per week.
• Sumdog competition and challenge for Maths, Spelling and Reading.
• Timestable Rockstar practice

This Week's Topic

UNITED KINGDOM

This week’s topic is named ‘United Kingdom’. There are many activities for you to look at, from kings and queens to flags, mountains to monuments and from festivals to the Olympics.

Talking of the Olympics, I know a lot of you were either not around then or were watching if from your prams and push chairs, but you could always watch a video I have put on the resource centre. It’s called ‘A Golden Games’. I’ll challenge any parent to watch that without getting a bit teary eyed in places.

It really is a great watch if you love sport and PE so have a look! 

It has also been requested that I set a challenge for this week so here it is:

One of the topic tasks set has been to design a flag. If I am sent 20 excellent examples of this by Friday (obviously from 20 different people) to: deputyhead@sholing-jun.co.uk  I will endure a three ice bucket misery. Fortunately, I will be judging if they are excellent or not! As usual, I will not be partaking in any water based punishments if the challenge is not met!

Good Luck!
