6th July home learning
Welcome the final week of home learning!
This week there are English and maths lessons as usual and a selection of afternoon lessons. There are only 4 English lessons this week, to give you time to practise the song and to get ready to join us on Friday at noon (see below). However, there is an optional writing task: to enter a writing competition, run by the UEA, which can be completed any time up to 26th July (see the afternoon activities, below, for more detail).

You are all
invited to join us in school on Friday and 12 noon, for a year 6 picnic and
sing-song. You’ll need to bring your own picnic (it’s advisable to bring your
own hand sanitizer as well), and come directly to the playground, without going
through the school. You’ll have time to eat your picnic, along with the other
year 6 children then we’ll all sing the song we’ve been learning. High HighHopes by Panic at the disco - all at a social distance, of course. We hope to see you all there.
Please do get in
touch to let us know how you are getting on this week, or with any questions or
problems about the learning. This week please contact on this email: Snowleopard@mulbartonprimary.norfolk.sch.uk

these words correctly by writing each one into a sentence that makes good sense;
you may need to check the definition first.
triumph epilogue intent

3) from the year 5&6 word list that you find difficult to spell –
personally. Use your preferred method to practise them.

Tuesday 7th July

English:
Can I predict what will happen in a story?
|
The next chapter in The
Adventures of Odysseus only tells the story from directly after the
competition ends to a few hours later. What do you think will happen in this
chapter?
Try to predict using 5 to 8
bullet points. Spend a little time thinking about what each character might
do next. Remember: the suitors are all dead. Odysseus, Penelope, Tiresias and
Eurycleia survive.
Now listen to the chapter The Olive Tree and hear how accurate your prediction was.
Now listen to the final
part of the story epilogue.

Wednesday 8th July

angles in special quadrilaterals

Use this link and follow the reading lesson. You only need to complete
the first and second activities. Activity 3 is the extension task – optional.
This
lesson was submitted by BBC Bitesize
last Friday – so will have the wrong date. We are using it as today’s reading
lesson, as I think you will enjoy the text about The Extraordinary Life of Katherine
Johnson – an important person in the history
of space travel.

Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Quiz
|
You will need a pen/pencil
and paper. When you are ready, click here to hear the Spellings. You can
listen as many times as you need to.
Now have a look at the Quiz,
which has the spelling answers on the third slide. Once you’ve
checked your spelling and given yourself a score, continue with the grammar
and punctuation part of the quiz. Good luck!

Friday 10th July
Maths:
creating with triangles
|
|
Try to make this origami
horse (all you need is a square of paper). Some children in school tried it
last week and found it quite a challenge. You may need to watch the video
more than once and to pause it as you go. Have fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuU6EyL5BGA

Afternoon lessons
History: What did the Ancient Greeks introduce that we still
use today?

still in use today that were introduced by the Ancient Greeks. You might like
to research this topic further or just use the information in the video.

Other interesting
information about tings introduced by the Ancient Greeks:

SRE: What makes a
healthy relationship?
draw or write what
you think a healthy relationship looks like. It doesn’t
have to be a romantic relationship; relationships with friends or family
members are still relationships.
Now write or draw
what you think an unhealthy relationship might be like.
Now go through
this presentation which contains a link to a video about relationships as
well as information about where to look for further information.
