Good morning! We hope you are all well and keeping safe. We have been sending out invites to Class Dojo recently for you to share any pictures of work, yourself or videos of your home learning. The site has been a little temperamental with invites, so please be patient with us if yours has not come through yet (please check your junk mail in case your invite has arrived there).

Guidance for parents – 

 

Please feel free to use our Howard home learning timetable in whichever way you see best. Don’t worry if you cannot follow it strictly due to your own work commitments. If you cannot manage all of these activities, encouraging your child to read to you and for you to read to your child would be great.

 

Maths –

We have set some more Mathletics tasks for you. If you fancy a challenge, have a go at these ones below:

Writing – 

Hopefully you have been ticking along with your writing. If you can, we would love to see some pictures of your writing on class dojo! Make sure you’re including those Year 6 expectations and, if hand writing your work, make sure that it is your neatest. Please see below your writing challenges for the week…

Write a letter from Lord Capulet to Juliet (in response to her letter)

Create a travel guide to Verona – use some of these links to help you.

Write a diary entry as Friar Lawrence after learning of the deaths of Romeo and Juliet .

Have a fun debate with your parents: Were Romeo and Juliet good role models? Discuss. (Watch this clip before starting)

 

SPAG support for parents – a useful booklet that provides ideas on how to support you child at home. 

Please click this link to take you to a fantastic website which provides a detailed grammar glossary. If you click each highlighted word on the website, for example ‘modal verbs’ it will take you to a page with specific examples (and some videos) to help support your child at home.

Ongoing Spelling Frame activities will be set throughout the week.
