Click on the link above to access the ‘Talk for Writing’ pack. It has been specifically designed to allow the
children to follow the same T4W approach we do in school whilst they are learning at home. This unit of
work should last for 2 weeks if you complete a few pages a day. We advise that that you spend around 30
minutes each day on a writing task.

Topic:
Friday 8th May 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of VE day. As we studied World War II in the Autumn
term, we would like you to celebrate this special occasion at home and reflect on your learning about this
historic event.
Task 1: Read the sheet on VE day (at the bottom of the newsletter) for links to websites with information
e.g. Royal British Legion. Why not make some bunting and plan a picnic in your garden or living room for
your family? You could make sandwiches or cakes to enjoy. You could even try and make a wartime
recipe to share together? Make sure you join in the singalong of ‘We’ll meet again’.
Task 2: Create a newspaper report about VE day as if you were reporting about the celebrations to mark
the end of World War II in 1945. Include details about the street parties and Winston Churchill’s speech.
Remember to structure the report clearly and to include facts and quotes.
Challenge: Write your own poem or song to commemorate VE day.

the gadgets and secret passages you
would like to have in it! (remember to start
off by drawing very lightly, and then when
you are happy with your design, make the
outlines darker)
3. Add colour to your drawing with coloured
pencils and pens, and add surrounding
scenery: trees, clouds, other buildings and
aeroplanes etc.
Whether working alone or with family
members, have fun! Record the results?

Year 6: La Ciudad (The City)
Week 1: Download the lyrics to the song and listen to it a few times: https://rockalingua.com/songs/city
Try to join in! You might want to print the lyrics and colour them in while you join in with the song.
Underline words you already know and use the pictures as clues to guess the words you aren’t sure of
yet. Now watch this video: https://rockalingua.com/videos/city Don’t worry if you can’t work out every
single word.
- Can you find out how to say these words: farm, cows, town? Hint: the words are written above the
pictures on the song lyrics sheet.
Task: https://rockalingua.com/worksheets/la-ciudad-worksheet Work through this worksheet at your own
pace. You may choose to break it up into smaller chunks. If you don’t have a printer, you can always
write your answers down on a piece of paper or say them out loud.
The Rockalingua website are also offering free online lessons every other weekday that you may be
interested in here:https://rockalingua.com/themes/spanish-classes
Additional Resource: Duolingo is a fun way to stay engaged with the language using simple games and
activities that suit your own personal level. In order to save your progress in the program you must ask
your adults if they can set up an account linked to their emails. Please remember to get adult supervision
for this step. Here is a link to the web address: https://www.duolingo.com/learn Enjoy!
Dear Children
We all hope that you are staying safe and keeping well. Hopefully the new home learning is keeping you
busy and you are also enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. Next week would have been SATs week and
even though you will not be sitting the assessments, we want you to know how proud we all are of the
hard work you put in throughout year 6. You have all been amazing! We are really looking forward to
seeing your creative work when we return to school. Have you checked out the staff videos on the
school website? Remember to take care of your wellbeing and ensure that you get a good night’s sleep,
eat healthily and exercise regularly. Continue to enjoy this family time and keep a diary of your time at
home. It will be lovely to reflect back on in the future.
We all continue to keep you in our thoughts and miss you so much.
Keep safe, keep healthy, keep positive.
