Home learning for Year: Six

Week Beginning: Monday 11th May

SpellingYou’ve done a lot of work on prefixes over the last couple of weeks. Why not now create a word search of your own using the words you have been investigating? How to create a word search:

Squared paper is easier but if you don’t have any just draw a grid on your plain paper, so it looks like squared paper.

Put the words that you want to be found in your grid on letter per sqaure- don't forget they can go diagonal, forwards and backwards!

Then, fill the rest of the squares with random letters! Don’t forget to make a list of the words that you have hidden in the grid, so the

person knows what words to find Get someone to complete it!

%2Fbbc.com%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzbm8scwMaths:It is time to.....tell the time!!!Telling the time is a vital life skill that you will need for the rest of your life so now is a good time (get it?) to master that skill. We know many of you find it hard so it will need lots of patience and determination but imagine how great you will feel going to secondary school being able to go telling the time.We want you to:

Be able to tell the time on an analogue clock (this is the one with hands like the one in the classroom)

Be able to tell the time on a digital clock (like the one on your phones and tablets) Use language such as “quarter to...” “five minutes past....” “twenty-five to...”

I think adults at home will be able to help you out with this, but we have put some links to

some videos and resources to help you out!Remember practice does makes perfect- this will be something that you need to

keep practicing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrxZWNu72WI (a good introduction to using analogue clock)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3icBxO6Wjz0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1AavpvRLvo (using past and to)https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-timehttps://www.helpfulgames.com/subjects/mathematics/tell-time.html

Why not even make your own clock at home to help you learn?!I will also add some worksheets for you to have a go at (remember you don’t need to print

these out just have a go at them!)PE/Active lesson

10 top tips for staying safe on the internet

1)      Don’t post any personal information online – like your full name, email address, mobile number,

etc.

2)      Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself.  Once you’ve put a picture of

yourself online, most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.

3)      Keep your privacy settings as high as possible!

4)      Never give out your passwords.

5)      Don’t befriend people you don’t know.

6)      Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online.  Speak to your parent or carer about people

suggesting you do.

7)      Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are.

8)      Think carefully about what you say before you post something online.

9)      Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean

you need to be rude.

10)   If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the

website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately.
