HERONS HOME LEARNING WEEK 6
Good morning Lovely Herons! I hope you had a good half term – it didn’t really feel like a half term did it?
I am back in school with some of the Year 6s from today but don’t worry, there will still be activities for
those of you not in school to do each day.
I will check the Dojo and my email every day, so get in touch if you’d like to. I do enjoy seeing your work
and hearing about what you are up to. [email protected]
It has been a long time now since we were all together in class, I hope everyone is doing ok. As always, just do what you can from this week’s activities – your best effort is all anyone ask. Whatever else you are up to, please make time for a little reading each day. Keep smiling, have a lovely week!

Reading
I recently enjoyed reading The Explorer by Katherine Rundell with my children. If you follow this link, you can watch videos of Katherine sharing an extract from her latest book and taking about how to write stories, you can also download the first chapter of her latest book, Rooftoppers, to read. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpdtsbk/articles/zrxxgwx Please make sure you spend some time reading today – if the weather is good you could head outside and read in the sunshine, I have been doing that A LOT lately!
I have been meeting with my bookclub friends via Zoom to talk about what we have been reading. Maybe you and a friend could choose a book to both read which you could then talk about? Or you could just challenge a friend to read a book which you have enjoyed.
Writing
Have you found out what each of your spellings mean? Spend some time looking at any that
you are finding tricky.
For this week’s creative writing challenge, I am giving you a picture to look at. Can you write
the story?
How are you going to create strong feelings in your writing? Consider using the following: I saw… I heard… I touched… I tasted… I could smell… I wondered… Similes and/ or metaphors to develop description. Ellipsis to create pause and effect. Short, snappy sentences to change the pace.

My Maisie has been using the chalk pens that I usually use to write our up our weekly spellings to decorate our front windows with rainbows and hearts. She changes the design each week and has enjoyed being creative. I recently saw this challenge that I thought some of you might like to get involved with. It should appeal to the football fans as well as the artists amongst you. The competition involves sending in paintings and drawings on the theme of the NHS and community spirit. Prizes include football shirts and matchday tickets.
