Year 6 Home Learning w\/b 11th May<\/span><\/h1>\n

Welcome back after what was an amazing Bank Holiday weekend weatherwise. Did you celebrate VE Day in style? Maybe you enjoyed a socially distanced street party or had a get together with your neighbours across the garden fence! However you celebrated, we hope you had a good time.<\/p>\n

Well done to all pupils who have managed to email in a piece of work that they are proud of – it has been great to see the variety of activities you have been undertaking whilst home-schooling. Keep them coming!<\/p>\n

We are aware that there are many different tasks and activities posted for pupils every week, and that this could be overwhelming for those who feel that every task should be completed. Please do not worry if there is some work outstanding at the end of the week. Mr Land and Mr Pratley would like children to focus on completing the reading, writing and maths work first and then\u00a0select\u00a0<\/strong>from the choice of other subject learning. Perfect!<\/p>\n

With that in mind, here are the tasks for this week:<\/p>\n

MATHS<\/span><\/h2>\n

What can you remember about angles? Different types of angles and angles in triangles and quadrilaterals? Don’t worry if you have forgotten a little – you are going to access online lessons from the Oak National Academy which will recap all this knowledge. If you complete a task that you are pleased with, you could take a photo of the screen to share, or do a ‘screen print’ – then email\u00a0 it in to either<\/p>\n

Guided Reading<\/u><\/h3>\n

Monday \u2013 <\/u>Finish Friday\u2019s learning for Guided Reading from last week.<\/h3>\n

Tuesday \u2013 <\/u>Read for enjoyment for 30 minutes.<\/h3>\n

Wednesday \u2013<\/u> Read the prologue to Moondial, by Helen Cresswell, below. It is set in the grounds of a large stately home, Belton House.<\/h3>\n

It is midnight in that most dark and secret place. If you should chance \u2013 and why should you? \u2013 to be walking there, you would be blindfolded by the night. You would hear the hooting of a lone owl from the church tower, the scuff of your own steps on the gravel. You would smell the ancient, musty scent of the yews that line the path, and the curious green odour of dew on grass. You put out a hand. It gropes to find the ungiving touch of stone. The shock of it brings an uprush of fear so strong that you can almost taste it. At that moment your fifth sense is restored. A slow silver light yawns over the garden. Shapes make themselves, statues loom. Ahead, the glass of the orangery gleams like water. You notice the shadow the moon has made at your feet as you would never notice a mere daytime shadow. You stand motionless, with all five senses sharp, alert as a fox. But if by some chance you should possess another, a sixth sense, what then? First a tingle of the spine, a sudden chill, a shudder. You are standing at a crossroads, looking up at a statue. A huge stone man seems to be locked in struggle with another figure, that of a boy. But the presence you feel is all about you now, and with a lifting of the hairs at the back of your neck you are certain, certain that you are being watched. You turn slowly, half dreading what you might see. But the path before you is empty. Your gaze moves to the great, moonwashed face of the house itself. The windows are blank and shuttered, though that strange sixth sense is insisting on hints, whispers, secrets. The scene fades and you realize that the moon is going back behind the clouds, and then you run. And as you run through the disappearing garden you feel that a mighty wind is blowing and voices are clamouring in that empty place. What you also hear, and what you will remember ever afterwards with a shudder, even in the full light of day, is the lonely sobbing of a child.<\/em><\/p>\n

Task<\/u><\/h3>\n

As you read, make notes.<\/p>\n

1) Do you have any questions? What are they?<\/p>\n

2) Is there any vocabulary you don\u2019t understand? List them. Find out what they mean by Googling the word or phrase.<\/p>\n

3) What does the text and setting remind you of?<\/p>\n

4) How does the description, setting and plot make you feel? Why does it make you feel this way?<\/p>\n

Thursday –<\/u> Read the text again before you answer the following questions:<\/h3>\n

1)What does the inclusion of the question, \u201cand why should you?\u201d suggest about the house and its grounds?<\/p>\n

2) What does the author describe as \u201cyour fifth sense\u201d?<\/p>\n

Friday – \u2018Thinking about the reading as the writer\u2019<\/u><\/h3>\n

Look at the extract from Wednesday again.<\/p>\n
