Ideas on how to support your child with their reading: - Your child could read the text aloud - You or your child could take it in turns to read. - You could read aloud to your child - Don’t underestimate the power of re-reading. You could read a page and your child reads it back to you. See below for an overview this week’s sessions.

Your vocabulary task this week is to find as many antonyms for each word as possible. What’s the longest antonym you can find for one of the words; what’s the shortest antonym you can find? Which word has the most antonyms? Which word has the least antonyms? Do any of the words not have any antonyms at all?

PERSONAL CHALLENGE: each week we will focus on a new skill. This week’s skill is FOOTWORK SKILLS

Personal Challenge for this week: Fast Feet. How many times can you dribble a ball around a marker and back in 60 seconds? Place down a starting marker and then a second marker 5 steps away. Each time you dribble the ball around the marker and back you score 1 point. To make it harder create a slalom, like last week, but dribbling a ball around the markers. Equipment: A ball and two markers (for the slalom you might want to use more markers.)

Bonus challenge: Give some of these football freestyles a go! Some of them a tricky! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSpvUfTBWx8

REFLECTION LEARNING

Memories Last week we asked you to start thinking about your memories of your time at Holy Trinity and to reflect on what you have learnt and how you have changed, particularly in terms of our five school values: Love, Integrity, Dignity, Confidence and Learning. This week we would like you to present a selection of your thoughts along with illustrations and even photographs, if you would like to. On the school website are some templates that you can use to present your thoughts on paper or you can do it on a computer and send it to school via email. Make sure you write your memories, reflections and thoughts in an interesting way and try to make them entertaining to read – this is a memento for you to have of your time at Holy Trinity. Try to write a paragraph or two, maybe by combining more than one thought or memory, rather than single sentences with not very much detail. You may want to write your memories in the form of a poem, or as a comic strip or in some other imaginative way. Please make sure you have mentioned our school values somewhere in your writing. For e-safety reasons, if you include photographs, please make sure you have your parent’s permission for any pictures featuring you and make sure there are no identifying features in the photo (such as home addresses or names) as these will be included in the collection of memories we send out to all the children in Year 6.

TOPIC BASED LEARNING – HISTORY – WORLD WAR 2

Task 1: Look at the different food groups in the rations. What do you notice? Why do you think these foods were chosen? Vegetables and fruit were not rationed, why? Bread was not part of the weekly ration, why? Plan a week-long menu using foods that were rationed in World War II. You will plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for a seven-day period. Meals should be nutritious. Any unrationed foods can freely be added to the menu, such as fresh fruits or vegetables that are homegrown in a victory garden. Put your family’s rations in this box to help you:

Butter: Bacon and ham: Margarine:

Sugar: Meat: Milk:

Cheese: Eggs: Tea:

Jam: Dried eggs 1 packet every four

weeks.

Sweets:

Task 2: You are going to create a newspaper article on a key event that happened during WW2. You can choose one from the examples given, or if you think of another one, you can use that. The start of WW2, Evacuation day, The Blitz, VE Day. You can us the newspaper template or create your own. Remember the features of a newspaper article! Name of the newspaper, title, catchy headline, orientation, information about the main events, written in third person, eyewitness account, reorientation.

Task 3: Colossus was the world's first programmable electronic digital computer. British codebreakers used Colossus to help to read German coded radio messages during World War II. These messages were sent between the German High Command, and Adolf Hitler's top army commanders. Codebreaker Max Newman worked at the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park. His problem was how to get a machine that would help turn German coded radio teleprinter messages into ordinary language. A group of Post Office engineers led by Tommy Flowers worked out how to do this. Their design, which was called "Colossus" used many vacuum tubes. Your task is to crack the codes and then create two of your own. The answers to the codes are at the bottom of the foundation learning (upside down).

1) Message from 1941:

2) Message from 1942:

Make up 2 of your own and see if an adult in your house can crack your code. Answers:

1941. Operation ULTRA has been set up at Bletchley Park to break German codes and locate their U Boats.

1942. The situation is critical. U Boats are hunting our ships in groups called wolf packs

ADDITIONAL LEARNING - TRANSITION LEARNING – BEING ORGANISED

This week’s learning project focuses on building your independence for your transition to secondary school. It will give you the opportunity to plan for the different lessons you will have next year and organise the time you use at home for your studies.

Monday- Next year, you will have to be more responsible for things such as managing your homework. Can you come up with a timetable for when you will complete your homes, how much screen time (reasonable) you can have and when you need to have a break from. Create a screen time agreement that you can discuss with your adult in terms of how often/ how long you will be on your device.

Tuesday – As you move into secondary school you will begin to learn lots of new things and develop new interests. What kinds of new skills might you want to learn? This could be something that you might always wanted to try – cooking or gardening or it could be a new skill you and your adults at home can explore together like learning first aid or DIY around the home. After working on or researching the new skill, can you write an information poster encouraging others to try the same?

Wednesday- As you transition into secondary school, you will begin to grow more independent, it might be useful for you to start looking at a key message/messages you want to stick by. Could you create your own affirmation, quote or slogan that you will stick by when you are struggling with something and will offer you some emotional support and encouragement as you develop your independence.

Thursday- You will often be faced with scenarios that you will have to solve independently. Some of these will involve communicating effectively with your parents/carers. Look at the different scenarios provided and with your adults, decide the best way to solve them. Think about different ways you could approach these scenarios and come up with the best solution.

Friday- How can you grow independence? Can you create an independence plant or tree – on it label all the things you need to be independent. What skills and attributes do you need? Hang it in your room/ in a prominent place as a a motivational reminder.
