Instant recall of all times tables up to and including 12 x 12 is the expectation by the end of Year 6. Times tables games: https://www.timestables.co.uk/

Day 1 For your writing this week we are going to be learning how to write a newspaper report. Science for the half term is based on the human body and the effects that different things have on the respiratory system. One thing that is often in the news surrounding athletes are performance enhancing drugs. Some athletes use these to help them become better at sport and outrank their competition. In many sports these are illegal, and athletes are often banned because of them. We would like you to write a newspaper report about performance enhancing drugs and what happens to the human body when they are taken. But before that, we need to look at the features of a newspaper article and learn how to write on successfully. Below is a newspaper article on performance enhancing drugs. Have a read and think about the literary techniques that are used. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/sports/russia-doping-ban.html Create a list of the different techniques used in this newspaper article. This could be paragraphs, facts, quotes, repetition, etc.

PSHE This week, we would like to talk about the Black Lives Matter campaign. As I’m sure you know, lots of protests have been going on around the world; London, Washington DC, Bristol, Australia and Germany have all had protests over the last few weeks. We want to explore what the true meaning is of BLM and what we as individuals can do to help the cause and recognise the privilege that some people have over other people from different ethnic backgrounds. What key questions can you think of that need to be asked regarding this issue?

Day 1 This week we are going to go back to our story that we were looking at before half term. We thought you might want a little break, but also would want to finish it off! https://www.worldbookday.com/stories/rumblestar-by-abielphinstone/ Start at Chapter 25.

Day 4 Today you are going to plan your newspaper article. First of all, you are going to need to research your subject. In this case, it is the effect of performance enhancing drugs on the human body. You can contextualise the work too, so you might decide to write about a case where an athlete has used performance enhancing drugs or even some research that has been done about one drug to test its ability to help or hinder someone. Spend some time looking things up online or in the newspapers. There are lots of news articles online that you can use. Activity Today you are going to plan the first part of the newspaper article. You need to plan;

• The name of the newspaper • The headline • The sub-headline • An introductory paragraph- including the 5 w’s • The first 2 paragraphs

Be sure to include facts, quotes, dates.

Day 5 Arithmetic Challenge Every Friday there will a list of 27 arithmetic questions for you to attempt. To challenge yourself make sure you time each session and keep a record of how long it took you to complete the questions. If you get stuck on a question move on and after attempting them all – research how to answer the calculation! Remember practise makes perfect and improves the score!

Day 5 Today you are going to continue planning your newspaper article. You will be writing, editing, illustrating it and producing a final piece! Activity Today you are going to be finishing off the plan. Yesterday you should have completed the headline, sub-headline, your introductory paragraph and the first few paragraphs. Today you need to complete the rest of your plan. This should include the last few paragraphs of your article and a conclusive paragraph to explain what may come of the situation next. Be sure to refer back to the example text above and even articles that you have looked at in your research. Don’t forget the checklist above too!

Art For your artwork this week, we would like you to continue with the science themed art! You have previously completed a sketch of the heart as well a 3D model. Today we would like you to continue with the sketching of the respiratory system. The lungs are a vital part of the respiratory system. Have a look at the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeDVM_nf-UE This will show you how to draw and label the lungs. Once you have drawn and labelled them, colour them using shading techniques that you looked at in the last lesson. If you do not have colours, then just shade using a pencil! If you are feeling brave, add in the heart too!

Make sure that you are reading for 15 minutes every single day and recording in your reading diary. For the final day you can choose your favourite book and write a book review about it. https://www.mensaforkids.org/teach/lesson-plans/book-review-guide/book-reviewwriting-examples/
