Home Learning Year 6 From Tuesday 5th January 2021
Each day your child will have an English and Maths task to do and will follow the lessons on Oak Academy. In the afternoon, there will be a task to complete based on one of the other subjects in the curriculum.
To access the instructions and complete the activities that are suitable for your child, you need to log onto your child’s Google Classroom account. This will also allow the children to be able to attach responses to the tasks so that we can monitor their learning closely and assist if they need it.
Thank you, Miss Knowles and Mrs Gibson

English
This term we will be looking at a range of texts based on War, such as Rose Blanche and Letters from the Lighthouse. We will also be reading extracts from a selection of well-known books to help us develop of comprehension skills. We will also be reading other texts; both fiction and non-fiction. Every week, we will be creating different pieces of writing based on various genres. As a class we will continue to practice using our reciprocal reading skills to help us understand texts better and learn new vocabulary.
Keep reading when you can- at home and at school!
