Year 6 Spellings and Home Learning 4.5.20

We would like to say a massive well done to all the children in Year 6 who are actively completing the online work that is being set on Google Classroom. This week, we would like to challenge you to complete at least two core subjects a day (for example, Maths and Literacy or Guided Reading and Maths). 

If you are yet to join us, we are reading an emotional and turbulent book in Literacy and Guided Reading - Can you see me now? In Maths, we are recapping skills that we have learnt in school and applying these to various styles of reasoning questions. We have a range of creative and topic lessons that you can complete as well as this, the Year 5 and 6 teachers are uploading videos of them reading Cosmic.

We have enjoyed receiving images of the creative activities you've been completing!

This week there are two new, exciting tasks for you to complete:

1. Enter a competition to tell the story of VE Day to mark the special 75th anniversary on Friday 8th May. Find out more here: https://ve-vjday75.gov.uk/dan-snows-ve-day-challenge/
