We hope you are enjoying the extra time that you have for reading. You could fit in some reading time after lunch as well as at bedtime.

It’s a mystery set in a seaside town which you’ll like if you’re into strange sea creatures, magical objects and feisty characters!

Writing |
** Hopefully some of you have been able to download clicker 8 on your computer or iPad to help you with your writing ** This week our writing is all about fun and games! Think of fun games that you can play at home and choose one to write the instructions to. Imagine you are writing for a younger child who has never heard of your game before. You could choose a classic like Hide & Seek or the pen and paper game Dotty Squares, or you could invent your own! You could even create your own board game using recycled materials like cereal boxes. When you write your instructions, remember to include information like the number of players and any equipment that is needed. Here is an example of some instructions to a popular board game. You could also video your own advert for your new game. Here is an example of and advert for a game called Mousetrap. Hopefully it will give you some inspiration. |

** If you do maths in a smaller group or 1:1 with an adult, scroll down for a different activity as you may find this easier to complete independently ** This week’s maths is all about shape. There are fun tasks including exploring nets of 3D shapes in your home. Open a kitchen cupboard and you will find all sorts of nets inside! There are slides, worksheets and practical tasks for you to complete. You can choose which parts of this you would like to do. We would recommend starting with the power point and then moving on to the worksheet or practical task, or both! We would like you to work your way through the Y6 Maths CGP book. In the second week, we would like you to complete sections 3 and 4. Ask an adult to mark this with you – the answers are at the back of the book. We would also like you to log on to Mathletics and complete the ten tasks which have been set for you this week. Feel free to play around on the other activities that you want to work on, too. |

We had started to explore light and shadows in our Science lessons at school. Create a poster explaining the meaning of the words transparent, translucent and opaque. Include a definition of each key word as well as some examples of different materials or items around your home which fit into each category. You can use a torch to check how to classify items if you are not sure! The following website will help you. |
