Y5&6 Reading – LO: raise queries about texts
Your task today is to spend 20 minutes reading FirstNews (or longer if you’d like) and create some questions based on what you’ve read.
Your questions must help to improve your understanding of something within the newspaper!
Your questions could include:
– asking for the meaning of a word
– asking where a place is
– how to pronounce a word
– what an article is about
– they could even be about the appearance of the newspaper (why are some articles presented the way they are?)…
Or anything that you would like to better your understanding of within the newspaper!
We would like you to come up with five different questions and find out their answers.
Challenge
Find five pieces of vocabulary that you are unfamiliar with inside the copy of FirstNews. Define each word and as an extra challenge, use it in a sentence or silly sentence!
We would love you to email us with your questions! Alternatively, you could ask someone in your home to answer them or safely use the internet to improve your understanding!
Y5&6 Computing – LO: What makes a good computer game?
Your task today is to use this BBC Bitesize article to find out what makes a good computer game and have a go at making your own.

Half-term Home Learning
Because this week is half-term, we’re taking a break from the usual daily home learning tasks (just like we did at Easter). Instead, we’ve prepared a menu of home learning activities that you might want to dip into this week – these are optional only, but you might want to encourage your child to have a go at being a quiz master, doing some up-cycling, presenting a cookery masterclass or any of the other activities.
Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a happy and healthy half-term.
