Year 6 Home Learning

Hello Year 6,

We hope that you are all well and enjoying the beautiful weather that we are having!

By now I am sure that you are breaking your days up by having a look at some of the tasks we set you last week (reattached at the bottom if you need another copy). It has been wonderful to see some of you creating tasks of your own too – you’re very inventive! Feel free to magpie each others’ ideas and ask if you need any help…we are here to support you.

Please make sure you are uploading messages or pictures if you can on to Seesaw – we would love to see what you are all getting up to!

Keep safe and keep smiling,

Miss Killick and Miss Walters

Year 6 Home Learning Tasks

Activities

If you are looking for extra activities to complete alongside your other tasks, why not try these:

  1. 10 Day Drawing Challenge: draw something using only your favourite colour (shading is the key) and describe it using a synopsis. Let your imagination go wild.
  2. High Five: draw around your hand, add pictures and words of things you like, to each finger of the hand. Challenge yourself to turn any negative thoughts into positive ones.
  3. Get outside: find something in your garden that you haven’t seen before (it could be an insect or a plant, etc.). Find out what it is, then create a fact book. How many new things can you discover in a week.
  4. Poetry: go on a metaphor and simile walk; this could be a walk around your garden or house. Turn these ideas into a poetry masterpiece.

Enjoy 🙂

Brain Breaks!

Each day, when you are completing your tasks, try to get up and move around every half an hour!

Feel free to add in your own and draw diagrams of what you have been up to!

Optional Extras!

  • Cooking! Can you make something delicious? Take a photograph or draw a picture!
