Home Learning - Arithmetic model question and answers

Watch the videos in this arithmetic playlist. The presenter will answer each question demonstrating a correct method. Pause the video before the answer is shown and work it out for yourself!

Home Learning - GENUIS MATHS KS2!!

This YouTube channel is FULL of reasoning problems (paper 2 and paper 3 of the SATs). The channel presenter will read the question (these questions are taken from the maths scheme we use in school, so they fit in perfectly with our curriculum), then he will demonstrate HOW to answer the question. Challenge yourself - pause the video before he explains the answer and see if you can solve the problem.
work through each playlist, completing a few problems per day. Playlists: 1) White rose Problem of the Day 2016, 2) White rose Problem of the Day 2016, 3) White rose Problem of the Day 2016. Each playlist contains 40 - 60 videos.

Home Learning - GrammarsaurusDoesSATs

Year 6 - please check out the 'Grammarsaurus' youtube channel. It is AMAZING for revising key grammar concepts. You will recap the content within the KS2 grammar curriculum, look at some examples and develop a really secure understanding. After each video, why not make you own revision poster? Use colour, bold headings, give examples and bullet point the main ideas within each grammar skill.

Home Learning - Spellings

We have put together a list of 6 super podcasts. You can listen on apple music, spotify or any other podcast service - for free!

We would like Year 6 to...

Listen to the 'Fun Kids Science Weekly' podcast (episode called 'The Poison Garden & Tutankhamun with Dr. Chris Naunton - date: 7 Dec 2019). On this episode, Dan (the presenter) is joined by an Egyptologist to hear all about Tutankhamun. From the information in the podcast, create a detailed quiz about Tutankhamun for your peers to answer. Questions must be detailed and offer multiple choice answers. Remember to include an answer sheet!
