Elm Week 4 Timetable

Make sure each day you are still completing the Joe Wicks 30-minute PE session, even if you want to keep doing it in

fancy dress, or, keeping fit and active through making up a dance routine, going on walks or even out on your bike-

that’s what I’ve been trying to do each day. Also don’t forget to be doing your daily reading of 30 pages; it keeps our

adventures alive! You can keep going with the revision books, but this is just to make it a little more exciting.

Keep playing Sumdog, 15 minutes a day is a nice addition to the maths task each day, like our daily arithmetic at school

This week our topic is going to be Magic. If you can read Harry Potter, if you have the book at home, this week, it is a

good book linking to magic! I know some of you have already read Harry Potter and I know how fun magic and the

unknown is so lets make this week a fun and creative week!

P4C- Watch the clip and then think about what

Voldemort says…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocgLSwK6sY8 Here are some of the things that Voldemort says: “Don’t be a fool. Why suffer a horrific death when you can join me and live?” “That’s it Harry. There is no good and evil. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it.” “Together we will do extraordinary things. Just give me the stone!” Talk to your family about what Voldemort says- is there no good or evil? Is power all there is?

Thursday Maths Week 5 Lesson 4 https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/

Friday

Maths Week 5 Lesson 5 https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/

English: We are going to try writing, as a character,

going through a magic door. How must Alice have been feeling as she fell through the never-ending tunnel into Wonderland? First, think of your character – it’s easier if you base this on someone you know. • What are they called? • What do they look like? • What sort of a person are they(miserable/friendly/kind/aggressive)? • What do they say? • What do they do? Compose a short piece of descriptive writing based on seeing a mysterious door through the eyes of your character. See below.

Magic: Today I want you to finish off the week by learning some magic tricks. Have a go and see if you can perfect on so you’re your family members are left baffled! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl_Mr_4JZwk

Friday’s writing task:

To do this, we will use a simple opener to drop the reader straight into the action:

Samantha stared. …

Ali hesitated. … We will also try to use some of the tools we explored in The Snow Walker’s

Son. Look at this example:

Samantha stared. There, rising out of the cliff, was an unfamiliar door; its metallic panels

were tarnished in rust. Paint flaked off the brittle walls that made up its frame and the door

handle rattled in the bitter breeze. Slowly, Samantha gazed all around her, took a deep

breath and stepped forward.
