Having a focus on enjoyment and family time as well as learning will be invaluable: if you get caught up in a project or task feel free

to spend more time on it. If learning is fun and interesting, children will be more engaged.

English

Personification is often used in poetry and narratives. Make a list of 10 nouns (you could chose abstract or concrete nouns) and 10 verbs. Can you think of a sentence where each noun is doing an action? e.g. The candle flame danced in the darkness. Shadows and silence crept into the empty room. This lesson could help if you’re stuck: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbd7mfr

This week you are going to write a Brain Swap poem by imagining you are someone else. To generate some ideas, think of a job (e.g. astronaut), famous person (e.g. Usain Bolt) or character from a book (Little Red Riding Hood) and write a riddle for someone to guess who they are. Follow these rules:

At least 6 clues

Use the present tense

Use lots of description

Try to trick the reader

Have a clever title

Finish with a question (who am I?)

Today you will plan your poem. Things to think about: Who is your poem about? Some ideas are: Key worker, superhero, a historical figure, a sports person, a character from a book, a person you admire, your best friend, a family member, an explorer, an astronaut or a scientist. Try out some poetry techniques you will use. E.g. Similes, metaphors, personification, onomatopoeia or alliteration What type of poem will you write? E.g. Free verse, rhyme, acrostic, narrative or a riddle. Draw a picture of the subject of your poem.

Write your poem. It may take several drafts to get it just right (all the best writers make several drafts and edit their work).

Year 6 Practise converting fractions into percentages. If you need help, look at this lesson:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zvcny9q 23/25 = 46/50 = 12/75 = 98/1000 = 75/500 = 123/1000 = 67/200 = 987/2000 =

Year 6 Practise comparing and ordering fractions, decimals and percentages. If you’re stuck, look at this lesson:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrkw2fr 0.1, 11%, 12/20, 0.11 32%, 0.3, 31/100, 0.03 0.99, 98%, 46/50, 0.09 1/5, 50%, 5/20, 0.23 0.67, 33%, 1/3, 3/6 72%, 31/50, 12/25, 0.9

Science – Changing Materials

Crystals are a special kind of solid material where the molecules fit together in a repeating pattern. This pattern causes the material to form all sorts of unique shapes. Watch this video of Mexico’s giant crystal cave!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7yfx0ejELg

The process of crystal forming is called crystallization. Crystals often form in nature when liquids cool and start to harden. Certain molecules in the liquid gather together as they attempt to become stable. They do this in a uniform and repeating pattern that forms the crystal.

Try making your own at home! Equipment: two jars, a string of wool, water, two paper clips, a small plate and bi-carbonate of soda

Method: 1. Fill the two jars with hot water. Stir in about six teaspoons of bicarbonate soda,

until no more will dissolve (this is when even after stirring a layer of bicarbonate forms at the bottom of the jars). The water will fizz but this is ok!

2. Tie a paper clip to each end of the piece of wool and place each end in each jar. Place the plate under than hanging string to catch any falling crystals.

3. Leave the jars for a week. Crystals will grow along the wool and hang down over the plate.

What is happening? The bicarbonate solution is soaked up by the wool and moves along it. When the water evaporates, all that is left are the bicarbonate soda crystals . The hanging crystals are formed when the mixture starts to drip from the wool and evaporate.

Afternoon Project Work – ‘Africa’ Each fortnight we make a suggestion for an afternoon project. These suggested afternoon projects are reflective of what children in school are doing

Activity

Suggestions

There are

plenty of

ideas here

to keep you

occupied

over the

next two

weeks.

Fairtrade How much do you know about where our food and drink is grown and produced? Is it grown in this country or another country? Are the people who grow, harvest and package our food and drink treated fairly. Use the internet and books to research Fairtrade. You could try these websites: https://www.theschoolrun.com/ homework-help/fair-trade https://kids.britannica.com/kids/ article/fair-trade/476256 https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/ resource/fairtrade-story-a-fair-tale/ Now make a Fairtrade poster to inform people about Fairtrade. You could design a new Fairtrade logo.

African Masks

Traditional masks are part of many

African cultures. These amazing pieces

of art have influenced European and

Western art. All African masks are

unique and show the diversity of

cultures and traditions.

Use the internet and books to research

African masks.

https://kids.britannica.com/

kids/article/African-mask/602131

Now you try designing your own

Tribal Patterns and Prints Watch this video to find out how to make a picture inspired by African patterns and fabric prints. The video uses paints, but it would look just as good using colouring pencils or pens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhytqHqc63I

A Kenyan Holiday

Using the information you have already found, and by doing further research,

make a holiday brochure for a holiday in Kenya.

What can people do in Kenya? Which places could they visit? Where could

they stay? What is the weather like at different times of the year?

Include lots of persuasive language and pictures!

Spelling Each year group / phase has a list of 200 or so spellings. Work through these at your own pace. Challenge yourself to learn 5, 10 or 20 a week. Write them out, write sentences using them (use a dictionary to check you know exactly what they mean) make crossword grids fitting all the words together. Try to use these words in any writing that you do. There are lots of online resources to help. For spellings lists see: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/239784/English_Appendix_1_-_Spelling.pdf
