Year 6 04.04.25

English

This week Year 6 have completed their English work on the circulatory system. These incredible explanation texts have taken time and effort and we are really proud of them. The children chose to aim their writing at younger children – see if you can spot some character voices and some brilliant(ly bad) ‘punny’ jokes.

Revision

First and foremost over the Easter holidays, we want the children to have a well-earned rest and a fun-filled break. However, we cannot escape the fact that our SATS will be a mere three school weeks after we return. We have sent home a pack of revision for the children to complete along with their usual homework and suggest little and often – 30 minutes a day max.

If you have completed this and still want work to do we suggest these videos / websites.

Vocabulary Ninja – vocabulary ninja has created ’16 weeks to SATs’ a selection of short (20-25 minute) videos which cover some key maths concepts. They are worth watching!

Corbett maths – full of videos and example questions and answers to practise key maths skills. Fractions would be a good one to focus on!

Mathsbot – all children have this linked but mathsbot is great for arithmetic practice.

Defenders of Mathematica – brilliant for maths revision

This rollama pdf has links to lots of free games which cover the domains of the grammar paper in ks2.
