Writing Task Your TWO WEEK unit of work
My spy name would Dirk Moonraker; I'm wondering what yours would be! Good luck!
Spellings: Year 5 and 6 statutory spellings
Using the spelling sheet handed out in your home pack (or find it here Statutory words Years 5/6), choose 10 that you find tricky and practise them (pyramid words; words within words; picture words; mnemonics; rainbow words etc.).
Next write them in complex sentences - remember that these must have two clauses, a main clause and a subordinate clause in any order and they must be properly punctuated.
CHALLENGE: use each of your ten words in a meaningful sentence - correctly spelled and punctuated of course!
If you prefer to work on some of the Year 3 and 4 statutory spellings, please do so (Statutory words Years 3/4).

Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks
Read, the information, then complete TWO of these THREE activities:
3. Have you heard of 'Stamford Bridge', or have you visited there? Where is it and what can you find out about this key battle in British history?
Science -
1. Share your understanding of
‘Danegeld’ in an illustrated paragraph.
2. Draw your own storyboard to show the
life of Edward the Confessor (Edward 1st), annotated with
information written in your own words.
(Remember, each storyboard frame should be fully
illustrated and shaded)3. Have you heard of 'Stamford Bridge', or have you visited there? Where is it and what can you find out about this key battle in British history?

The final aspect of our learning about animals including humans is regarding how nutrients and water are transported in our bodies. Go through this PowerPoint carefully:
Transporting nutrients
Now, copy and complete the sheet below. Check your answers by looking back on the ppt.
Next show your understanding of how nutrients and water are transported around the body - include your earlier learning about the circulatory system and your new learning today - in a format of your choice, for example a poster, an explanation, a well labelled diagram. Remember that all scientific drawings should be clearly labelled, again using scientific terminology.
DT - Four week project
We are going to embark upon a DT project; if you think back to our Mongolian Yurt project, you will remember that this involves several stages: research and designing, testing, building, evaluating and improving. First of all think about what you would like to construct. Following on from the earlier Forest Schools project, you could design and build a home for an animal or group of animals - check out Samantha and Jessica's post for inspiration! Or you might like to link this to the RE work below and design and build a new church for your area, something modern or futuristic. Another idea may be to make a desk tidy for all of your writing equipment or perhaps make a game. The choice is yours but you need to remember the principle of Design Technology being fixing together different materials in different ways, along with the stages listed above.
So, this week plan and design your idea, for example, if you have chosen to do the Forest Schools theme this would mean choosing your home, taking into account the size of the animal(s), its habitat, suitable materials, where you plan to install it. Whatever your choice, your plan should be annotated with the materials you intend to use and how you plan to fix them together. I am looking forward to seeing your ideas as I know how inventive you all are!
If you do not feel you have the tools or materials to actually build your project, you can still design it this week, as all this needs is a pencil, some paper and your super ideas.
RE - Christianity
Over the next few weeks, we would like you to research Christianity in your area. There are three churches in the village of Carlton alone which follow the Christian faith as well as churches in surrounding villages not to mention the wonderful Selby Abbey just a short drive away.
Investigate what the Christian faith represents; what its symbols are; how its followers celebrate their faith; what the buildings look like. Or, you may prefer to focus on one church that is of interest to you and learn everything you can about it by visiting it and answering the questions above. You may like to link this to your DT work and construct it! Your learning could be shared by means of a poster, a leaflet, an explanation, a PowerPoint or any other format you choose to use.
