English

This week, our focus is going to be on writing ‘A guide to Year 6’. In preparation for next year, we would like our lovely Year 6s to create a poster or leaflet detailing what you think the Year 5s should know as they move to their new year group.

Day 1 – L.O. I can plan an information text. 

What do you think are the key pieces of information that the Year 5s should know as they enter QE2 and Tower Class? What would you like to have been told before you came in to Year 6? Top tips and useful information?

Use the template below to record your notes.

English – Day 1

Days 2 + 3 – L.O. I can write an information text. 

On lined paper, create a first draft. Edit and correct so that it meets the Year 6 writing expectations.

 

Day 4 – L.O. I can publish an information text. 

Design and create your final piece. Make it eye-catching and informative and appealing to your target audience (the Year 5s).

 

RE/Art

This week we will create a piece of artwork for entry into the Spirited Arts competition based on the planning we have done over the last two weeks and the theme “inspiring”.

Artwork should be accompanied by a short written commentary of no more than 400 words written on one side of A4. There are prompts available in the document attached, together with further details of the competition.

If you are entering the competition from home we would love to see photographs of your work. This can be posted on Class Dojo or e-mailed to Mrs Fallon on howardyear3@gmail.com

History

Did you know that it was the NHS’ birthday on 5th July? To celebrate this occasion our History lessons this week will focus on the creation of the NHS and how it helped to rebuild Britain.

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”5″ border_color=”#3a95f7″ ]This year has been the most challenging in NHS history, with staff displaying extraordinary dedication, skill and compassion to care for the 100,000 patients with COVID-19 who needed specialist hospital treatment and many others besides. During this testing time our nurses, doctors, physios, pharmacists and countless more colleagues were sustained by the support of the public, not least through the weekly applause for key workers. No health service, not even the NHS, could have coped alone with this coronavirus pandemic. From bus drivers and teachers to care staff and food retailers and, of course, the public who took action to stay at home to stop infection spreading, everyone played their part. The NHS’s birthday this year not only offers the opportunity for us to say thank you to the nation, but for us all to come together … to pause and recognise all the work which has taken place in the last months and say a heartfelt thank you.
