Happy Monday, everybody!
As you may know, there have been changes to the home learning (such as the time it is posted and the amount of writing tasks) as we have gone along and this is thanks to your feedback – we greatly appreciate any feedback you may have so please don’t hesitate to let us know!
Moving forward, there will be instances of lessons from BBC bitesize and other similar websites. Also, there will be lessons which simply feature a video of your teacher teaching some of the different home learning subjects, too!
Before we crack on with today’s learning, here are the answers for the learning that took place on Friday.

Y5&6 Reading – LO: explore and evaluate
Your task today is simple: read!
Download First News and enjoy reading it! Check out
Ancient Amphibians on page 8 – it reminds me of our science learning when we discovered that wood frogs freeze their bodies to survive winter!
Your challenge is to email me with a picture of you reading it in the most unusual place or to the most unusual object!
Y5&Y6 Science – LO: I know how shadows are formed.
Today’s science learning recaps some learning that we did in the second half of the autumn term!
Our topic at this point was all about Light, and today’s task focuses on this.
Your task today is to complete the following:
1) Find a shadow in or around your house (one that is already there without you having to move anything) and in your home learning book, draw a diagram of it!
2) Label your diagram (including the object creating the shadow, the light source, shadow…)
3) Make your own shadow! You will need an opaque object and a light source!
4) Write an explanation as to how shadows are formed using as many of the following words as you can:
opaque
light
shadow
light ray
straight
block
Challenge:
Email me a picture of the shadow you’ve made whilst explaining what happens to it when you move the object closer/further away to the light source.
Good luck!
Remember, if you have any questions, please email me and I will be more than happy to help.
