Home Learning Tasks

Welcome to the Home Learning Area for Year 6. Below is a list of activities for your children to complete throughout the week, at their own leisure. 

The Home Learning Area will be updated for the start of every Monday and feedback will be provided on the tasks completed by the children (remember to check pupil Hwbmail).

Feel free to send any pictures or videos of the work and I will display them below.

Thank you very much for your co-operation during this time.

Mr Williams.  

Class Connectivity

To keep our class connected and to see what we all have been doing during these unprecedented times, I would like you to send me either a picture or small video of something you have been up to. This could include a walk, exercise routines, painting, etc - anything you have been up to and want to share. I will then put all of these moments into a video montage to share with you at the end of each week.  

These are the photos and videos I have received this week. Also, if you haven't seen the LPS Staff video then click here!

MyMaths

I have set you four tasks this week. If you do not have time to complete them all, then only complete what you can. They will be available from Monday 11th May until Sunday 17th May. 

Make sure you select the 'Lesson' first, this will help you understand the topic, before completing the 'Online Homework' task.

Remember - You can retry the questions as many times as you want to try and improve your score. This is important as it will tell me if you have understood the task.

1. Place Value Beyond 10,000
2. Negative Numbers 1
3. Negative Numbers 2
4. Negative Numbers in Context
