Good morning Year 6!
We will update the blog every day from Monday - Thursday this week with daily learning activities. Please check the blog every day and complete the learning that you can.

Literacy
This week, we are going to be writing a story. The idea for your story is the word "Stuck"
Be as creative as you want - who or what could get stuck somewhere, and why could this happen? How could this problem get solved, and what lessons could the characters learn?
Your task today is to plan a story with the title "Stuck", and to write the first (opening) paragraph.
Remember to use this structure to help you plan your story:
Opening (Where is the story set? Who are the main characters? What are they doing at the beginning?)
Build up (What happens next? How does this lead towards what will go wrong?)
Problem (What goes wrong? Someone or something gets stuck somewhere...)
Resolution (How does the problem get sorted out? The person or thing gets unstuck...)
Ending (How does the story end? Does it end happily? Are lessons learned? Is there a twist?)
Then just write the opening paragraph today. We will write the next part tomorrow. If anyone wants to share your opening paragraph, you could type it as a comment on this blog post - we would love to read it!
Reading
Please remember that it is really important to try to keep reading every day. As well as any books, magazines or other reading materials you might have at home, here is a reminder of some of the activities you can be doing each day:
1. If you haven't done Ms Davies's brilliant fluency lesson from last week yet, then you can see the video for it here. I really like this story (but it has quite a nasty ending...)
2. There are loads of fantastic books available to read online on the GetEpic website - we can see that some of you have been using this (well done!) but we would really like to see more of you reading on there. To log on and see how many great books they have, go to www.getepic.com/students and type in our class code: qav6098
3. There are also some brilliant dual language books available at https://uk.mantralingua.com/homereading. These are written both in English and another language, which makes them great to read with families who don't only speak English - the list includes Somali, Arabic, Urdu and many other languages. You may need an adult to help you fill in the form to get to the books.
Word Aware - 'Alison is an acrobat in Asia' game.
Can you complete this game for every member of your family? If you have a lot of people whose names start with the same letter, then try doing it for your friends instead! Here's what we came up with for ourselves: Amy is an artist is Azerbaijan. James is a juggler in Japan. Can you think of any alternatives?
Maths
This week we will be reviewing fractions. If there is anything you need help with, please leave us a comment!

Ok so we have to complete the maths every single day and there will be one for every day
ReplyDeleteYes, there will be a blog post every day from now on (except this Friday because it's a Bank Holiday). Because we've been out of school for so long, we'd like you to be taking part in learning activities every day.
DeleteWe've tried to (roughly) follow your normal timetable, so Topic tomorrow will be PSHE and RE, and on Wednesday it will be French and History.
I hope that makes sense and let us know if you need any help!
