The main purpose of this Mathematics Homework is to make your life, as a teacher of Year 6 pupils, as easy as possible. All of the homework activities are based on the renewed Primary Framework for mathematics; however, as they assess specific learning objectives they can be used in conjunction with other planned teaching schemes. Each homework activity sheet addresses a whole, or part of, a learning objective. The questions are written to test the understanding of your pupils once they have worked on a topic in the lesson. This in turn, will provide you with the information required to assess the pupils’ learning, and will enable you to plan your lessons effectively. With a full set of answers included you can be confident that your students are getting regular, relevant homework that tests their understanding across the Year 6 objectives and all seven core strands. This easy-to-use CD will reduce the time spent preparing and marking homework enabling you use your time as efficiently as possible. The Year 6 curriculum is structured into five blocks, reflecting the same structure as the other primary year groups. Each block is made up of three units, and each unit represents two or three weeks of teaching. The blocks are: • Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculating • Block B: Securing number facts, understanding shape • Block C: Handling data and measures • Block D: Calculating, measuring and understanding shape • Block E: Securing number facts, relationships and calculating

The LCP Science Homework Activities are divided into three sections: Biological processes, Materials and Physical processes. There are 22 homework sheets in each section. There is also a teacher’s answer section, which provides answers to questions posed on the homework sheets and suggests the sort of responses you can expect from children. The LCP Science Homework Activities contain 66 colourful, printable homework sheets which give your children the opportunity to practise scientific skills, encourage their curiosity and improve their understanding of science. Each homework activity sheet is divided into two parts. The first part provides an opportunity for children to consolidate scientific skills, such as predicting, planning, observing, analysing data through tables and graphs, drawing conclusions and evaluating. The second part of each sheet consists of practical challenges. Some are quick while others can take place over a few days. The challenges are varied, to suit different learning styles. They are also designed to be fun, in order to develop curiosity and inspire children to think and work like scientists. Because learning is always best shared, it is a good idea for children to carry out the challenges as a group; this could be with classmates or at home with a responsible adult. This download is packed with homework sheets featuring written activities and practical challenges – all supported by a teacher’s answer section that suggests the sort of responses you should expect. All of the homework sheets are in Microsoft® Word. Answers included! Leave us a review.

Taken from: Grammar and Creativity for Year 5 Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination. Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules. Leave a review

Many of the qualities that are developed in PSHE and Citizenship are embraced within these particular subjects. They are fundamental to the Early Years curriculum. Timing In this unit most of the activities would take 10-15 minutes.

6 lessons includes plans and resources The children will be encouraged to use reading journals to record their thoughts, predictions, questions and notes. To widen their experience they will be given opportunities to read extracts aloud and to watch excerpts from television or film adaptations. They will explore the relationships between characters and the language and techniques used to present these relationships and develop the plot. The children will work in pairs or groups, as well as a whole class and will discuss the techniques they use to help them understand the text, such as prediction, empathy and visualisation, using a story mountain. Finally, they will be supported in writing in the style of the author to rewrite a chapter or write a new one. These lessons use Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) as the focus text. It will be helpful to have begun reading it as a class before starting this unit and to have finished it before the third lesson. This will enable children to delve more deeply into the plot, characterisation, language and structure. 1 Treasure!• To use technical vocabulary to talk about pirates Notes on ‘the old sea dog’ • To draw picture notes of the main parts of the story 3.Long John Silver • To study dialogue between main characters to recognise how character can affect their behaviour.

Lesson 7:Tomas and the librarian- LO: To use empathy to explore the character of Tomas About this unit There are six units on fiction in this file for years 5 and 6. The second unit focuses on the work of modern authors of children’s fiction. We have chosen to focus on Colin Thompson and Michael Morpurgo, but it is possible to repeat some of the activities using books by other authors with whom the children may be familiar, such as Roald Dahl and David Walliams. The children will examine the story structures and aspects of each author’s style and will have opportunities to write short stories of their own. They will be encouraged to explore various characters and situations through role play and will work towards writing and staging their own short plays. They will develop the habit of keeping a reading journal (on paper or screen) as a way of supporting and extending reading. The Michael Morpurgo lessons are more challenging and you may wish to use them later in Upper KS2 than those on Colin Thompson’s books. The unit focuses on Books by Colin Thompson, for example The Paradise Garden, The Paperbag Prince, Falling Angels, Sid the Mosquito and other wild stories and I Believe in Unicorns and Why the Whales Came by Michael Morpurgo.
