READING

Getepic is a fabulous website that you should all be logged on to now. Check the Y6 blog post dated 8.1.21 for instructions. Aim for 10 - 15 minutes of reading each day. Choose one book of the 3, I assigned to Y6 last week. If you have completed that, you have free choice to read whatever you like. I know Y5 as a class have read 100 books. We have read 20... So, there it LOTS of catching up to do. Log on and get reading.

Good luck with all your learning! Let's get going with today's 3 activities...

Below are your tasks for today. Remember if you need to ask any questions go to the class blog and add a comment to 18-1-21 TODAY'S WORK. Keep checking the comments on this BLOG because that is where we will post our replies to you.

ENGLISH

There are 2 tasks to complete today.

TASK 1

LO: To develop knowledge of determiners

Click on the link below to take this Oak Academy lesson with Ms Chu. This lesson starts by reminding you about pronouns - they stand in place of a noun. Personal pronouns are: I, you, she, he or they. Possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his or hers.

Then she will explain what determiners are. It is quite tricky. But just remember: DETERMINERS COME BEFORE A NOUN. For example, THE pen, HER book, SOME tables or THAT desk.  Have your pen and exercise book ready as there are 2 tasks to complete.

TASK 2

LO: To understand a text

Go to your orange work folder from school and take out the KS2 English Comprehension Year 6 Targeted Question Book. Turn to pages 12 and 13. There is a short extract to CAREFULLY read from a famous book called David Copperfield. Can you remember the author of this book? Then there are 7 questions to answer in the book.
