Home learning – Tuesday 2nd February

SPAG

Choose 6 words from the Year 5/6 statutory word list. You could choose 6 words that you have never heard of before or 6 that you know you find difficult to spell (see list attached below). If you can, get someone to test you on your spelling of your chosen words and then work together to come up with ways to help you to spell these words accurately. If you have time, choose other words and practise spelling them by using pyramid words, writing them in rainbow colours or tracing around the words to familiarise yourself with the shape of the letters.

 

Reading

Read chapter 8 of Journey to the river sea and answer the comprehension questions.

 

English

Today you will be re-reading the lagoon section of chapter 7. You will be making notes on the sights and sounds passed on the way to lagoon. You will also be writing a short audio guide. One of the Year 6 teachers will guide you through the lesson – see the video PowerPoint. Also, have a listen to an example audio guide from the British Library here.
