Going for Great Our Impact On Our World

Going for Great! – Our Impact On Our World At home, the children are expected to do the following daily tasks: ● ● Practise ‘Learn-Its’ using Times Tables Rock Stars (at least one ‘garage’ session a day) Practise the weekly spelling words and the Year 5 and Year 6 word list words Read and learn the facts on this term’s Knowledge Organisers. Read for 30 minutes! Designed in collaboration with Year Six pupils. Going for Great Activities If they want to, children can also work with an adult at home and projects from our list below, which are all based on curriculum areas that we’ll be covering this half-term. They will earn house-point Dojos for this when they bring them into school. Those children going ‘above and beyond’ will be recognised in our regular Friday ASPIRE assemblies. Remember, these projects are designed to improve parental engagement with children’s education through the platform of home-learning, so we hope that you enjoy doing lots of these jobs together, but being led by the children!
