Year 6 Home Learning – Wednesday 1st April

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Just a quick reminder of your home learning tasks for today.

English

• Read your reading book for at least 15 minutes. This could be done at any point in the day to help you relax. If you want any recommendations, email us!
• KS2 English SAT buster. Complete the next reading text in the set.
• Punctuation book, pages 36 -37 on use of colons.
  Don’t forget, colons can be used to introduce a list or to separate two independent but linked clauses (colons are used to stress that both clauses in the sentence are closely linked and the second clause emphasises, adds clarification, or adds further detail to the first clause).  For more information and to see examples, click here.

Maths

• Power Maths, pages 27-28 on vertically opposite angles.
  Remember, the angles opposite each other when two lines cross are always equal. For more information and examples, click here.
  

Geography

• Research and write about a North American country of your choice (not USA, we’ve already done this in class). Include information about physical geographical features (such as lakes, national parks, mountains etc.); human geographical features (such as bridges, buildings etc.); climate; cultural practices; religions; landmarks and any other interesting facts.Think carefully about how to present this using headings, subheadings, diagrams, captions, language to draw the reader in.
  
  (a good example of presentation and content)

Extras:

• As usual Timestable Rockstars will help you maintain the speed of your timestable recall.
• Practise your coding skills for free on Hour of Code . There are many games on here to help you practise coding and creating algorithms through games such as Minecraft, Flappy Bird etc.
• If you have access to seeds, why not plant some and observe how they grow. Could you put them in different conditions and see which grows fastest?
• Keep your eyes peeled for the International Space Station over the next few nights. It’s the space station where astronaut, Tim Peake, was located on some of his expeditions. Look at the time table below to see when it will appear, read the NASA site to find out how to spot it and hope for a clear night sky!
  

Let us know how you get on with the activities and, as usual, parents/carers can email us for help at any time.
