There is a Shakespeare theme to all our English learning this week – Mrs Benson will provide further updates….

I have separated the tasks for Monday and Tuesday, but you may wish to start the writing task on Tuesday after you have completed the comprehension then edit and create a Word, Publisher, Powerpoint or PicCollage version on Tuesday. 

Monday

We have a reading comprehension to begin the week This is available in a printable version or there is an online “mark as you go” version. There are differentiated versions of both. Read it carefully as you will need the information for tomorrow’s activity as well as to answer today’s comprehension.

Today we are going to practise the skill of summarising. The idea is to read a text and pull out the key facts. The tricky part is including the key points with losing the meaning and without rewriting the whole of the the original text.

You need to produce a fact file of the Life and works of William Shakespeare.

You should include:

• headings and subheadings
• bullet points
• complete sentences

You could collect your information from this video: BBC Class Clip

(You can do your own research online – remember to ask permission and keep safe  if you do this).

You might also use the text you read on Monday. A key technique would be to highlight key points to include in your summary.

These posters may help you to remember how to use bullet points properly:

This clip from the BBC might be useful but is very easy watching – just for fun! Watch it when you have completed your writing and are ready for a rest: CBBC

Welcome to a new half term. We have some changes as year 6 are now able to come into school. We are still providing guidance and materials online for those of you learning from home. These posts will give you the opportunity to study the same objectives as those year 6 who are in school – we may adapt materials and the way we learn for those in school as that is what we teachers do. (We assess and respond to you!)

This week we have a mixture of materials including some videos from Oak Academy rather than WhiteRose as we have been discussing the areas of Maths that you have covered so far this year and feel that Position and Direction including co-ordinates is a useful area for you to look at before you move on to secondary school.

If you have forgotten some of the co-ordinates learning from year 4 and 5 (or you are just feeling a bit rusty) this video lesson should help you to revise and reactivate that knowledge: Co-ordinates in four quadrants
