Year 6 Learning Tasks

Grammar

Spelling

Focus this week on writing multi clause sentences. Using the image below, practise writing simple and complex sentences, try:

1. Adding a relative clause.

2. Adding a subordinating clause.

3. Joining two simple sentences with a FANBOY or even replacing the conjunction with a semi colon.

Try to use a range of punctuation: brackets, dashes and commas.

Continue to use the Year 5/6 spelling list (the words we had on our walls).

Get yourself a pen or pencil, a piece of paper, the spelling list and a timer.

Quick Write: How many words can you write in one minute?

Word families:

How many ways can you find to group the

spellings? Look at prefixes or suffixes eg.

Words ending in -ious or –itial. Words that

are all adjectives or all nouns.

Please read daily. Encourage your parents to read with you. Read a range of fiction and non-fiction!
