Dear 6HT and 6JJ,
This week may not initially mean anything to you, however it has been etched in our brains and in
our diaries all year … SATs week. Obviously, these are now not going ahead, which may be a
relief to some of you! However, for others there may be a feeling of disappointment. This may feel
or sound strange, but when you have worked towards something and that doesn’t happen it can
understandably bring a sense of disappointment. Having said that, we also want to remind you that
you haven’t just been working towards SATs – your hard work and effort throughout your time at
Gorsey, but especially in Year Six, is about so much more.
Over the time that we have taught you in Year 6, you have all grown in confidence, self-esteem,
resilience and maturity. You have become more efficient and determined learners who have
pushed yourselves to do the best that you can. None of this is because of SATs tests, this is
because you have risen to the challenges of ‘being a Year 6’. You have made us, and the wider
team, incredibly proud.
Although we have kept the structure and content of this week’s Learning from Home pack similar
to previous versions, we wanted to acknowledge SATs with you in some way. So, on Friday, which
would have been the day with no test paper – the day we would have ‘celebrated’ that they were
over – we would have planned in some time for a treat. We’d have maybe even given out some
goodies (possibly not healthy ones!) and chilled out together! With this in mind, on the last page of
this pack (Friday) we have shared some suggestions as to how you may wish to spend your Friday
afternoon and potentially even get other members of your family involved too!
Keep up the hard work Year 6, we know learning from home is different, but you have already
proven how well you have adapted to it! Make sure you are being good for your parents, being
kind to all and are helping out at home too.
We are missing you all and look forward to seeing you soon,
Mrs Thompson, Mr Johnson and the wider Year 6 team.

The Good Thieves – Class Novel
Now that you are all up and running with Microsoft Teams we have uploaded
recordings of us reading our Class Novel to Microsoft Teams.
You will find them in Class Materials Class Novel – The Good Thieves.
This week, you will find Chapter 15-19 uploaded to Microsoft Teams.
Please make sure you are listening. If you have your own copies, please read along.
Summarise each chapter as you go
As a way of keeping track of what is happening in the story, after each chapter why don’t you
summarise it on a post-it-note / piece of paper and then keep all of these together. You could
even draw little images to go with each one if it helps to remember.
Remember, when summarising you need just the key points – it shouldn’t be too long or too
detailed.

Monday – Reading Comprehension
LO: To understand texts
The Good Thieves – an extract from Chapter 18
Please read the whole extract carefully, then answer the questions.
You can listen to Chapter 18 on Microsoft Teams.
The extract is on the next page of this Learning from Home pack.
Remember some questions may need you to justify your answers and/or use evidence from the text
1. Using a dictionary, define these words:
lingered ‘where the colour still lingered.’
scuffle - ‘There was a brief scuffle over who should row.’
Seize (seizing) - ‘by seizing an oar and brandishing it like a sword.’
brandishing
haplessly - ‘both splashed haplessly in the water.’
stern - ‘Samuel sat in the stern of the boat.’
2. What made Vita say “That’ll be the guard dogs” ?
3. Where was the boat?
4. What does Arkady tell the others about the dogs – give two different things.
5. What time of day did this happen? How do you know? Use evidence to support your answer.
6. Why was the boat not bright green anymore? What colour is it now?
7. Why is the word ‘think’ in italics in the below sentence?
Silk glanced over her shoulder. “And you’re sure there’s no night-watchman?”
Vita shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
“You don’t think?”
8. Find and copy a metaphor about the lake.
9. Tick one box in each row to show whether each statement is true or false.
10. Thinking about the whole extract, please number these events in the order they happened:
fought over who would row
gathered around the boat
moved silently across the lake
Vita crawled through shrubby trees
ran silently across the muddy sand

17Wednesday – English (Plan Adventure Story – ‘The Heist’)
LO: To organise writing appropriately/To write with purpose
This week we would like you to write a short adventure story
about when the children break into Hudson Castle (Chapter 18/19)

Activity 3:

detail, try reading through the events so you
become familiar with what is happening. The
better you know the story, the better you can
write it.
As you are doing this, add in any other
vocabulary, details or speech that you think will
add to your story, remember you need to engage
and hook your reader (think about the language
features listed above).

Grandpa had always talked about how the canoe was as green as an emerald – the colour of Grandma Lizzy’s eyes, but after all these years it was now
more brown than green. Vita ran her hand over the peeled paint, the corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled one of her six smiles. The others
ran, their feet completely silent, across the muddy sand to join Vita. They gathered around the boat and began to push it to the water.
“It’s so quiet. I’ve never been anywhere so quiet in my life.” whispered Silk, who had never left New York City and wasn’t used to the peaceful hums that
were outside just outside of the city.
A noise pierced the silence, it was rough, high and angry. Samuel stood bolt upright and looked around, “Are you sure we are safe doing this?” he
whispered.
“Yes,” Vita replied, “There’s the guard, but he sleeps in the cottage on the other side of the lake. At night they’re just the dogs.”
There was a brief scuffle over who would row, Vita and Silk managed to grab the oars before the boys and began splashing them, as if the oars were
weapons.
“Shhhhhhh” whispered Arkady who had a look of disappointment on his face which made both Vita and Silk instantly stop and bow their heads in an 27
apologetic manner, Arkady gestured to the boat, “Let’s get going.”Thursday – Maths Arithmetic
