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.
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
