Year 6 Spring Term 1 Home learning 18/01/2021
Dear Parent / Carers
Mr Thomas has put together a weekly ‘pack’ of learning activities that coincides with the
learning that the children will be doing in school. Below are some ideas and links to follow
at home. Our theme for the next few weeks will to be ‘World War 1’.
Please email the school at enquiries@fairfieldsprimary.co.uk should you have any
questions.
To ensure that the children are motivated to complete as many of these suggested
activities as possible whilst at home – we would encourage them to email us, or drop off
into school (following social distancing guidelines) any work they would like to share with
us at the end of each week.
Thank You
Mr Thomas

English – Writing
This week in English we will be finishing off our independent write of a traditional
Inuit tale. Our tale is set in a hot, dry desert environment. Our two brave
characters will journey to find a magical beast that will cure one of the children.
We will end the tale with feasting and celebrations. Below is a summary of the 5
plot points we will cover:
1. We start with the setting, introducing the characters and saying
what disability the main character is going to have.
2. The characters have heard about a mythical beast and journey
across the desert to find it.
3. They arrive to the lake and see the magical animal – here there
will be lots of description of your magical beast.
4. The main character rides the animal to the bottom of the lake
and is then cured.
5. The character emerges from the oasis, his sibling nearly faints and
then both of them go home. In the village, there are celebrations and
feasting.
Maths This week in Maths, will continue with our revision of the four operations, fractions, decimals and percentages on Monday before beginning our new topic of ratio. On Tuesday, we will look at what a ratio is and how to represent groups of objects as a ratio. On Wednesday, we will simplify ratios using our knowledge of how to simplify fractions. The theme of fractions continues on Thursday, when we will be representing ratios as fractions and creating visual representations using bar models. Finally, to end the week, we will look at simple ratio words problems. Lesson 1
Lesson 2 Lesson 3
Lesson 4 Lesson 5 Weekend Challenge: Can you create a ratio to represent your family? You could use hair colour, eye colour, boys/girls. English - Reading In class we will be continuing to focus on the reading skill of prediction. In order to predict, you need to look for all the clues in the text or picture, then link it to your current knoweldge of the world and make a sensible guess about what will happen. We have predicted from pictures and sentences, now we are going to predict from longer pieces of texts.
Y6 SPaG – Prefixes dis-, de-, mis-, over- and re- This week we will be looking at the prefixes ‘dis-, de-, mis-, over- and re-‘
Y5 - Spelling This week’s spelling rule is silent letters Please practice the spellings from the below activity using the strategy – ‘Look, Say, Write, Cover, Check’. Then you can complete the table below, substituting vowels and consonants with dashes or stars.

ILP – WW1 This week will be continuing our joint Year 5 and Year 6 ‘World War 1’ topic. We will be learning about one of the most famous and enduring moments of the war: the Christmas Truce. Research Questions: What is a “truce”? Who was the Christmas Truce between? When did the it happen? Where did it happen? Why did it happen? What happened during the truce? Was there another truce the following year? If not, why not? https://kids.britannica.com/kids/article/The-Christmas-Truce/607325 https://www.ducksters.com/history/world_war_i/christmas_truce.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk-LjY16zdM
Y5 and Y6 – Science – Properties and Changes of materials In our science lesson this week, we will be exploring whether materials are conductors or insulators. What do these terms mean? Use the websites below to write a definition of a conductor and an insulator! Remember conductors and insulators can be related to both heat or electricity. Heat and insulation - KS2 Science - BBC Bitesize insulators and conductors - Kids | Britannica Kids | Homework Help What are conductors and insulators? - BBC Bitesize Watch the lesson below for an in-depth lesson on conductors and insulators. This is a fantastic resource that explains what conductors and insulators are and investigates which materials are the best insulators and conductors. Do not worry if you do not understand the recap as we will explore this in later lessons! This investigation will be really helpful to explore electric conductor and insulators as we won’t be able to test at home. Create a prediction, method and complete the results table to check your understanding. There is also a quiz at the end to see what you remember about conductors and insulators! What are insulators and conductors? (thenational.academy) For your home learning this week, we would like you to create your own experiment to explore conduction and insulation. Make sure you create a fair test by only changing one variable. For this experiment you will need ice cubes, 3 glasses, various materials (for example foil, paper, bubble wrap etc.) and optionally a thermometer. Cover each of your glasses with a different material. For example, you may cover one glass in foil and another glass in paper. You will then place an ice cube in each glass. After every 30 seconds, test the temperature of the ice, if you have a thermometer, and make a comment about what has happened. Record your comments in the table below. Watch the video below to see how to see how to create this experiment at home. RP 2 Thermal Insulation Material Practical - YouTube

Alternatively, you could try this experiment with hot water to see how quickly the water
cools down. Please DO NOT try this experiment without adult supervision. The boiling
water is extremely hot and we do not want to burn yourself! You can of course try this
experiment at home but please make sure your parent or carer is supporting you and
making it safe.
Write a conclusion to explain which material is the best conductor and insulator after
your experiment.Spanish Please write a paragraph to include the following details. This can be made up: - Name - How you are feeling - The town you live in - Your age - Your birthday - Family (As you might not feel comfortable talking about your own family, you can make this up) - What pets you have/had or would like to have. To help you do this, please use the examples and vocabulary below. Example Me llamo Isabella. ¿Qué tal? Estoy fenomenal. Vivo en Fairfields. Tengo ocho años. Mi cumpleaños es el treinta de julio. En mi familia tengo mi madre, mi padrastro y mi hermano. No tengo mascotas pero me gustaría tener una serpiente roja. Spanish Challenge Try to also spend some time each day learning a section of vocabulary (around 5-10 words). This is one of the best things you can do when learning a language. Tip: - Read the Spanish word several times - Cover it up and try to say it from memory - Then try to write it from memory - You could ask someone you live with to test you. They can read the English, you need to say the Spanish word back to them.
