Although this task will significantly help you later in the week, it is not particularly a reading task! On top of this, I would like you to research and read about your dream job. Create a list of requirements you would need for this job, along with some reasons as to why you think people might want to do it as a career choice.
Year 5/6 Topic

Morning!
Our home-learning posts will be continuing but KS1 staff are in school full-time now, so the amount of teacher videos will be less.
Try to keep reading for at least twenty minutes per day. If you have run out of your own books to read there is a fab online library of eBooks to read on https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/ Just register on the website, log in and choose what you want to read.
Weekly spellings :
Y1 : book look moon fool car start sort torch
Y2 : table apple bottle little middle fiddle beetle wobble muddle ankle
Times tables : If you ready, start learning x6 (link to x3) OR keep going with times 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 and divide 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10
Maths – addition
Watch the video about adding three single digit numbers : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYhO23pXWj
Challenge : Make/get a set of number cards 0-9 (just write numbers on scraps of paper or you could use playing cards). Turn them over so you can’t see the numbers. Choose 3 cards. Add them together. You could draw part whole models, a number line or bar models to help, if you need. Remember that addition is commutative (can be done in any order) so look for the first pair of numbers that you can add together easily to begin with.
Reading
This week we will be reading a non-fiction (information) text – all about sunflowers. Watch the video, read and discuss the features of non-fiction text : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYhO2ppl1S
SUNFLOWERS

Whole school ‘Quiz of the Week’
If you’re struggling to keep yourself entertained this week…why not have a go at our whole school quiz?
Half-term Home Learning
Because this week is half-term, we’re taking a break from the usual daily home learning tasks (just like we did at Easter). Instead, we’ve prepared a menu of home learning activities that you might want to dip into this week – these are optional only, but you might want to encourage your child to have a go at being a quiz master, doing some up-cycling, presenting a cookery masterclass or any of the other activities.
Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a happy and healthy half-term.
22 May 2020: Home Learning
Hi children,

Make sure that you take the time to rest and enjoy this time with your families.
Take care and stay safe,
