Lesson 5. Reading comprehension – A Pocket Full of Stars by Aisha Bushby  
In the 2nd extract of this reading session the main character is called to go to hospital and is very worried about her Mum. If you think this will be too upsetting for you (because of any personal experience) then you could go to active learn and choose a book to read from Bug Club instead - do the comprehension task for the book you read.

Science
Organism means living thing (including plants). Animals are a type of organism and humans are a type of animal.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRidGna-V4E  Watch this video: an introduction to classification of animals; you may already know some of the information, but it will help with the task.
Have you ever played a game of “Guess Who?” Branching databases are a bit like that! Have a look at this presentation about branching databases. It shows you one way in which scientists classify things (You may need to go back and look at some of it a second time to fully understand it.) 
 https://drive.google.com/file/d/18zXonYaxSBJs8nkErTHDdQFs5siw3wXV/view?usp=sharing .
Make your own branching database to classify some organisms of your choice. You will need to know a little bit about the organisms you choose.  (Perhaps you could research some unusual ones to give yourself a challenge.) You need to choose which questions to ask to classify the organisms you choose. Choose only 4 organism to make the task easy or up to 10 to make it more challenging.
Extra challenge: Now make a branching database of your family! You can include as many family members as you like (they don’t have to be at your house). Make your classifying questions as interesting as you like – you could even have some fun with this!
D&T
Make a design board for an ideal space in which you would love to spend time. Cut out and stick magazine images or copy, paste and format images sourced from the web, of the designs, furniture, technology and gadgets you would choose to decorate your own space.
Think about:
·        The colours and patterns you would like around you.
·        Your style and taste: how would your ideal space reflect your personality?
·        How would you spend your time there?
·        How would the space make you feel?
P.E.
Monday 18th May would have been our school’s sports day. Create your own sports day events/activities/competitions at home. Share the details of these on our padlet page: https://padlet.com/cargyle/y6homelearning


Don't forget to reply to the email sent to your adults from your teacher. Also, we'd love to see some of the work you are doing – either by email (to your teacher) or upload to padlet https://padlet.com/cargyle/y6homelearning to share with year 6 adults and students.

Revision time

Year 6 have had a busy week completing practice papers. We have been delighted with the progress the children have made since October. All of the children have shown a really positive attitude this week and have wanted to show us all the new things they have learnt over the last few months. We will be sharing this information with the children over the next few weeks. We are preparing to start our revision for the SATs and in the next couple of weeks there will be some slight timetable changes. We will prepare the children for this. We are also planning to run after-school booster sessions for some children. If your child has been selected to take part in these sessions, a letter will be coming home next week. Several parents have asked if there are any revision guides they can use at home. The photos below show a couple of examples. They are good for short bursts of revision. You can get books focussing on subject guidance and also practise questions. The books cover reading, SP...

Enjoying learning!

This week, we have continued to read our mystery book. We had to do a roll on the wall about the main character, Alex. A roll on the wall is when you describe a character; using feelings on the inside and description on the outside. We have also been doing some end of KS2 tests, preparing us for our SATs later in the year. In PE, we have been dancing and had a taste tester of tennis. As mathematicians, we have been learning about converting FDP (fractions,decimals and percentages). We are all enjoying learning new things and working hard.
