Dear Year 6,

 

Our science topic for this half term is 'Darwin's Delights'. To introduce the topic this week, you will be researching Charles Darwin and creating a mind map with the information.

 

Thank you to those of you who responded to our emails last week, and sent your yearbook entries. We hope you have been practicing, singing and dancing to, your Leavers' Song too - Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' 

 

The following two YouTube links will help you and give you some ideas for dance moves!

We have split the song in to 4 equal parts: part 1 (lines 1-14), part 2 lines (15-33), part 3 lines (34-55) and part 4 (lines 56-70). Each of you will sing 1 part out of the 4 parts - see attached list for further explanation. Each part is approximately one minute long and we will provide more information next week about how to record your part of the song. 

 

Stay safe & keep dancing!

Last week we started to read 'Cogheart' by Peter Bunzl in class. There is the link to read the prologue and Chapter 1 on last week's home learning page. This week we would like you to complete some activities based on what you should have read. Please complete the word analysis, fact retrieval and inference questions in your home learning books.

You can self-mark these as the answers are also below. Don't cheat! 

Spelling

No new tasks have been assigned this week. Please ensure that you are up-to-date with all your spelling tasks and continue on your own spelling pathway.
