Monday 8^th February 2021

Good morning Year 6. I hope you all have had a super weekend! The weather was not too bad on Sunday so I hope you managed to get out and be active for a while. This is the last week of the half term meaning we only have 5 days left of learning to do (4 days if you finish it all by Thursday) so keep going Year 6 as you have all been brilliant so far!

Here are the tasks for today:

Reading

Read for 30 minutes. Keep building up that speed and stamina.

Reading activity for today:

• Write a note to your friend telling him or her a bit about the book. Explain why you think he or she should read it.

English (split into three parts: Handwriting, Spellings and Writing)

Handwriting

The handwriting poems this week are based on old nursery rhymes. This week focus on having the descenders hanging low and the ascenders tall.

Ring-a-Rng o’Roses

Ring-a-ring o’roses,

A pocket full of posies,

A-tishoo! A-tishoo!

We all fall down.

Ring-a-ring o’roses,

A pocket full of posies.

One for you, and one for me,

And one for little Moses.

A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down.

Spellings

The spellings for this week, -sure / -ture

• • Have a look at this BBC Bitesize clip, -sure or -ture? to try out which would the correct spelling be for ture/sure or even er (in some words)
  • Sumdog spelling challenge starts today. 

Writing task

Can I write a letter as Peter to Tom?

Read chapter 23 and 24

PE

As mentioned on Friday, this week is our Dance Week with no better way to celebrate it than to learn a new dance routine that the whole school can perform in.

Follow this link, Dance Week, and practise it as much as you want. It would be great if you could send a short 10 second clip through Seesaw of you dancing any part of the song. Then we will put everyone’s clips together to create a whole school video.
