Class 6
Welcome to the Class 6 School Closure page
For this final week, we have a change to our normal home learning. You will not find the usual booklets on the class webpage.
Instead we have put together a summer holiday home learning booklet for you and a reflection booklet ready for moving to your new class.
The summer home learning booklet contains a range of activities to help keep you occupied over the next six weeks. You will find a variety of tasks linked to spellings, handwriting, reading, writing, maths and times tables. The reflection booklet is a great way for you to think about what you have achieved this year and goals to set yourself for next year.
Of course, there are no expectations for you to complete all of these tasks or try to follow a normal school routine during the summer holiday. If you have some spare time and are not sure what to do, we are here to help you with some suggestions. It is an extra resource for you to have at hand if needed. It will though be a great way to keep your skills up ready for a new start in September!

Fun Science Ideas Around The Home!
Reading
The most important thing you can do at home is to read as much as possible, every single day.
Try to aim for at least 30 minutes every day, but you can of course read more than that. This could be one of your own books, or your school library book, or an eBook online.
Check out this fantastic website for eBooks

Here are 5 maths lessons you could have a go at all to do with ratio. Try to follow one lesson each day this week. There are some questions you can download as well. You could print the worksheet or do them straight in your workbook.

Some parts might be challenging so ask an adult at home to help you if you are not sure.
Staying fit and healthy
During this time at home, it is really important for you to stay fit and healthy. Try doing some daily exercise. You could even get some family members to join in with you!
