Highlights From Home – Y5&6 Wednesday 10th June 2020

Good evening,

Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to respond as quick as I’d like to any questions or work that has been sent to me today, due to being with a larger group of key worker children in school. As many of them are a younger age group, they’ve needed quite a lot of support and guidance during the day.

Anyway, I’ve finally caught up now and so here’s the Highlights From Home today.

Wednesday’s 10.6.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

If anybody missed out on Newsround today, here it is….https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/news/watch_newsround

Tomorrow, you shall hopefully all be taking part in a Zoom chat with Mrs Millward at Corbet School at 11:30am. I shall send you all the link later tonight on the Class Dojo page.

Rhino Daily Challenge – Writing

Acrostic Poetry

An acrostic poem can be fun to create but also quite thought provoking.

To create an acrostic, follow these four easy steps:
  1. Decide what to write about
  2. Write your chosen word vertically down your page
  3. Write a word or a sentence that starts with one of the vertical letters
  4. Repeat for the rest of the vertical letters until your poem is complete

For today’s challenge, I would like you to have a go at writing an acrostic poem for a sport or sports person of your choice. Try and write sentences for each letter rather just choosing one word. Be creative!

Here is an example for one of my favourite sports:

Basketball
B ounce the ball with your head up
A ccuracy is key to scoring a basket
S hoot if you’re open
K eep your mind on the game
E njoy it while you can
T ake it to the basket
B end knees to shoot with power
A lways use the backboard
L ay up shots should never be missed
L earn to play as a team
Don’t forget to send in your work on dojo. I have lots of merits to give out!!!

Panda Class learning w/c 8th June 2020

Overview of learning w/c 8th June 2020

Hi Pandas, I hope you are all well.

We are working on self-esteem and being kind to ourselves this week. The following link is to a story about a bear that doesn’t know who or what he is. This is a good opportunity to think positively and convert any worries in to positives.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hmd8q7n10

In maths we are adding 2 small numbers – there is a worksheet/game for this.               space-add-and-colour-addition-activity-sheet

There are some reading sentences for your child to read – the dots and dashes are for the different phonemes.    space-simple-sentence-cards

There is a worksheet for phonics too looking at finding and circling the correct word.  cvcc-phase-four-circle-that-word-worksheet

Have fun and have a good week.
