Week beginning 15th June 2020
Welcome to Virtual Sports Week
As this week is Virtual Sports Week, we have decided to theme our learning (where possible) around sports. For links to the activities (and video tutorials), please click here (https://www.howard.croydon.sch.uk/classrooms/virtual-sports-week-2020/) .
We have put together videos of Mr Sinclair showing how to do each activity, and there is a pdf document also explaining the activities and different scores to aim to get etc. which are on the Virtual Sports Week blog page.
There are 10 activities, children are to chose 5 activities out of the 10 activities and put these into the tracker (or they can create their own tracker) which is attached (pdf and word).

Sports-week-activity-tracker.docx-1 (PDF)
For each activity, the children have 60 seconds to complete as many reps of the activity as they can. The aim of the week is to beat their personal best, so we would like to see an improvement on their tracking sheet throughout the week. The PDF documents that explain the activities have Bronze, Silver and Gold targets for them to get. So there is also a section on the tracking sheet for them to tick if they achieve the Bronze, Silver and Gold. The tracking sheet also includes extra daily challenges for them to complete – they can chose which one they want to do each day – on Thursday there is an opportunity to dress up as their favourite character whilst practising.

This week, we shall be focusing on biographies. We have been lucky to welcome Donna Fraser as one of our new school governors this year, so we thought it would be an excellent idea to get to know more about this sporting icon within our school community.
Day 1 – What makes a good biography?
Go through the PDF slides and evaluate the existing biography. Mind map what you think the key features of a biography may be. Annotate the biography example on the slides below.
Day 2 – L.O. I can use condensed notes to plan a biography.
Using the research provided, write some useful, condensed notes. Don’t copy out whole passages! You may want to create a time line of Donna Fraser’s life and plot key events.

Day 3 – L.O. I can write a biography.
Using the key features, start to write your biography. Remember to use the Year 6 expectations.
Day 4 – L.O. – I can write and edit a biography.
