In school, we have been creating a non-chronological report. Below here you will find the ppt slides that we will begin our topic with. There are also some examples of n;on-chronological reports of various animals for you to have a look over. Please pay attention to how the reports are set out and presented - there are common structures in all of the reports and how they are layed out.
Following on from this, we will be choosing our own African animal to research and write a non-chronological report about. You will need to research and find out information about your chosen animal so that you can either email in to school or bring in yourself, when you return to school. There is a planning template that you could use in the documents attached below to help you.
Your research should include information including the following:
Appearance/Features;
Habitat/Environment;
Diet;
Threats
Interesting Facts.

Here are a few maths tasks for you to tackle. For these tasks you will need to apply your fluency, reasoning and problem solving skills to successfully complete them. They are linked to the objectives and steps that we are currently following in class. There are are links to the White Rose videos for each day, which we highly recommend you watch too. They will not only support your learning, but give you some good reminders/revision of topics that you may have missed out on previously.
Maths Challenge by Choice Yr6
Below here you will find a variety of maths challenges to occupy you, should you choose. They vary in challenge, but should be accessible to everybody in Yr6.
We hope you enjoy trying to attempt, solve and answer them as much as I did finding them!
We'll post the answers to these on a Thursday afternoon so that you can check your solutions. There may be some different solutions to ours too, so we'd love to see them!
