23/3/20 to 27/3/20
Friday 27 March
We have got through the week!
Today is a finishing off/checking day.
Below you will find the answers for the TYM work. Please mark it. If you don't have the pack and have been doing My Maths, please check that too, and go over any questions you got wrong.
If you didn't complete the comprehension, do that, and then mark it.
Please go back into your Just So stories and diary entries and finish those off/edit them.
Ensure that you have been on both TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed, and that you have read pages from your book. If we have not given you a book to read then find something else to read - anything at all will do!
Have a WONDERFUL Easter!
Creative Children!

Don't forget - PE with Joe at 9am for some exercise and Helen is singing again at 10am.

Please share your Just So stories if you have done them in Google Docs. We're really enjoying reading them - great work! If you've written on paper and want to share, just email us a photo!
Your diary entries can be done on docs (share with us) or on paper. They don't have to be long.

Wednesday 25 March
Good morning Year 6 - Day 3 of #coronaclosure!
Below you will find the mark schemes for the Going the Distance comprehension and also some of the L6 P&G papers you have in your pack.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THE P&G PAPERS TODAY!
We are just supplying the answers for those who have completed them already.
If you do not have the Going The Distance comprehension, the reading and question booklets are attached below. You don't need to print them out- you could answer the questions on paper.
We will provide the mark schemes for the L6 maths papers after the holidays. If you need them in the meantime, here's a link to a website that has them: http://www.satspapers.org/mathsKS2SATS.htm
We will post the answers for the TYM work you have been doing on Friday so you can mark your whole week's work in one go and do any corrections.
The Just So stories you started today are BRILLIANT!
Have a lovely day!
Tuesday 24 March - Writing!
Well Year 6, this will be interesting!
Please find links below to the slides for today's lesson. Read them!
Then click on the links, which will take you to some Just So stories to use for inspiration.
What we are expecting today is
1. familiarisation with the genre
2. a first paragraph (the first paragraphs are always pretty similar, as you will see)
3. The beginnings of an idea for a story. A fully-formed story does not come quickly! We will spend a lot longer than we have today making these stories brilliant!

Most of you took home a 'corona pack' on Friday.
This contains Maths for you to do every day this week. We will post photos of the answers later in the week so you can check how you did. **The TYM P139 C1b - the green sector is the one labelled '5% Percussion'
You should also be doing at least 10 minutes on TT Rockstars and at least 10 minutes on Spelling Shed per day.
Your English work will be from your CGP book. 6S, please go upto Page 6. 6T (you are week ahead due to homework), please do 3-5 pages.
You also have the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 statutory spellings for revision. Please look at some of these every day.
