Writing task (Y5,6)
Our learning is expanded noun phrases.
Your task today is to write an email to a loved one – perhaps a family member, friend or teacher. Your email can consist of anything you wish – it could be full of things that you have been doing at home to stay active and healthy, for example.
In this email, you must include expanded noun phrases. Here is a short example of an email.
Dear Jane,
I hope you are enjoying the roasting sunshine! My sister and I have been playing in the garden with our fluffy dog, Rosie. We have also been joining in with Joe Wicks PE sessions every morning. Thanks for sending me a beautiful birthday card – it really made me smile.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Reading task (Y5,6)
Your learning today is a little bit different to normal. Today, we’d like you to just enjoy reading. Your task is to read the FirstNews newspaper (it will open as a separate page in your browser when you click the link). You should spend about 30 – 40 minutes reading it.
We’re not expecting you to do any learning in your exercise books today as the main thing we want you to do is to enjoy reading. However, if you like, you could complete one (or more) of the following tasks…
- Read the paper with someone in your house and discuss the articles you’ve read.
- Do the same as above but with a friend from school over the phone.
- Respond creatively to one of the articles you’ve read (a bit like a creative homework).
- Interview someone in your house, or someone over the phone, and write your own news article about what you find out.
