Y6 – Writing Activities

Year 6:

This week’s writing activities: Diary, story, letter, a chapter of an autobiography, newspaper report.

During this crazy time that we face… wouldn’t it be amazing for people to share and understand what you have been doing? Above are a few ideas of styles of writing that you can complete this week!

You could write a weekly diary including all of your weekly activities and an insight into how you have felt this week.
You could create a story, take one of your weekly events and make it as creative as possible – use your imagination!
You could write a chapter of your autobiography titled “LOCKDOWN” – you could include many things that may have happened during this crazy time!
You could write a letter to your teacher, a friend, a family member. Telling them how you’re feeling and what you have been up to! Asking them similar questions!
A newspaper report? This could be about any current event in the news or something that you have done?
These are just a few ideas to help you!

Below are ideas for your plan and language and grammatical features that you can include!

PLAN

This week, make a note of all of the activities that you complete at home, exercise, tidying up! Helping out your families, these can be in chronological order (helpful for a diary and autobiography!)

Think about your feelings? Your 5 senses? The 5 W’s? As you probably will have a mixture of emotions this week, use emotive language to help with your writing

These can then be used to create a piece of writing of your choice! Be as creative as you can! Ask your families to take photos of you working and tag us on Twitter @StOswaldsPriLiv

LANGUAGE / GRAMMATICAL FEATURES

Think back to the features that we have looked at in SPAG this year, and choose some of your favourite features to include! Semi Colons? Modal Verbs? Try and include some of the Year 5 and 6 Spellings that we have also looked at this year! Below I have attached the writing mats that we use in class and a copy of the Year 5 and 6 Spelling lists!

Good luck and enjoy!

I am looking forward to seeing all of your photos on Twitter! You can even take a photograph of your work for your teacher to see!

Most importantly… Stay safe and we hope to see you all soon

Y6 – Art Project

Hello Year 6,

We have some Art for you this week. This term, we would be looking at famous designers.

We would like you to look at the designer William Morris and do some of your own designs based on his work. On the attached power point, find out some information about who he was, what he designed and look at some examples of his work. You may recognise some of them.

Can you find out anymore information about him?

Then try and design your own William Morris tile, based on his style and technique – you can use inspiration from your homes, gardens or walks to help you.

We would love to see some of your finished designs.

Y6 – Perimeter and Area

Good morning Year 6,

Can you remember work the work we have done on Perimeter and Area?

In task 1, a child has answered questions on this topic – but are they right or are they wrong? Be teacher for the day and check their work. Can you correct their answer if they are wrong and explain the mistake they have made?

Have a go at Task 2. There are two problems on this topic for you to have a go at. You can either choose one, or have a go at both of them.

Good luck Year 6.
