Good day Year 6! We hope that you are all safe and have had quite a productive week. It was lovely to see some of you on Microsoft Teams during the week and we were so impressed with how you are dealing with these uncertain times with such maturity. We were also impressed by the PowerPoint quiz that Connor had emailed to us and also the Scratch Projects by Max H and Sophie – you were certainly showing your creative sides. If you have still not received your personal login details to access Microsoft Teams or you are having problems logging in, please email us. We would be more than happy to help. Below, you will see the various tasks set for your Home Learning, for this week. We would love to see more examples of the work you have been doing at home.

For some guided reading activities, click on the link below to access the BBC Bitesize website. The text is The London Eye Mystery by the author Siobhan Dowd. Listen to the extracts, followed by some of the activities that you can do throughout the week. Let us know what you think about the book. The extracts in this lesson will help you consider and explain why the writer chooses specific language.
During the Microsoft Teams chat, it was wonderful to see that a group of you are accessing this website. You are all reading different books from a range of genres although the book Mystery At Moon Base One by Alex Wolf, appears to be quite popular. Remember to email your book reviews and opinions on the books that you read 🙂 Great to see quizzes have been completed.
As well as the reading focus from the Oak National Academy lessons and BBC Bitesize, there are also some reading comprehension tasks that you could also do. Below you will find a text on the poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Decide whether you would like to do Clouds, Moons or Stars. Read the text and then answer the questions in your exercise book. Answers have been provided so that you can check. Remember to read the questions carefully.
For spellings this week, read through each sentence and identify the word which has been spelt incorrectly and then correct it. Afterwards, look through the answer sheet and check to see if you have identified all the misspelt words correctly. If you are looking for a further challenge then have a go on the Spelling Crossword. There is also a wordsearch too.
