Holiday Homework suggestions.
As promised, here are some suggestions of what you could do if you are bored and fancy a challenge in the holidays.
All of the learning during lockdown is in each section, in a word document labelled with that weeks date on i.e.- Monday 29th June- Friday 3rd July. This word document will then be in the section labelled 3rd July. Please look back at any previous learning that you think you may have missed.
The Art and Music which was here is in the 6th July folder.

Friday 17th July
Good Morning Cameron Class.
You know what to do now…here are your suggestions for the day!
9.00am -Find an old Joe Wicks work out to do- or make up your own.
9.30- 10.30am Literacy - Have you?
- Written your story/ poem/ descriptive piece of the picture ‘A Dangerous Pet’? You could have also written a persuasive piece of writing, persuading your parent to let you keep a dangerous pet!
- Written a letter to someone in our class/school saying goodbye, if so, have you emailed it to me? Or could you write another one.
- Did you complete your comic strip?
- Did you compete your writing comparing the two plays that we have looked at?
- I would then like you to write a page of a diary entry reflecting your time during lockdown. Include comments about the work that you have competed, work that you have particularly enjoyed. What other things you have done. Thoughts feelings. Everything! It can be longer than a page.
Just make sure that you reflect your journey over the last few months.
- Write a goodbye letter to somebody in the class/school. It could be to a friend or member of staff. Remember how to set out a letter correctly. And remember to sign your name at the end (something which we keep forgetting!! ) I would really like it if you could email it to me, and then I can forward it onto the person.
When you have completed all of your pieces of writing:
Proofread your writing from the week. You can use a dictionary to check the spelling of any words that you found challenging. This will also enable you to check that the meaning of the word is suitable for the sentence.
Spellings:
- Organise these synonyms from slowest to fastest: quickly, speedily, swiftly, hurriedly & in a flash .
- Create a word bank about an animal of their choice which includes verbs, adverbs and expanded noun phrases. They can use this for their poetry writing.
- Choose 5 more Y5/6 spellings ( list is on our webpage) . Then write a synonym, antonym, the meaning and an example of how to use the word in a sentence.

WALT: create suspense in our writing.
A Large Dangerous Pet
Question time!
Why has the King given his children a dragon?
Do you think it’s a wise decision?
What do you think the children will try and train their dragon to do?
Can you think of any strategies that the children might use to train their dragon?
Where do the children live?
Can you think of a good name for their kingdom?
Why do you think the children will need ‘all the help they can get’ when they come to rule?
Can you think of names for the children?
What is the boy feeding the dragon?
What do you think the girl is carrying?
What dangerous pet would you have???
Possible story start:
The King had known that the gift he presented to his children on their 5th birthday was dangerous. He was prepared to take the risk of letting them own a pet dragon, however. One day, the twins would rule the kingdom together, and they would need all the help they could get. No-one could deny that a dragon was a powerful ally!
Before that day, though, the children had much work to do. They had to train their dragon!
TASK:
You could use the above story starter to write a story. You could use your own if you wanted to.
You could invent your own dangerous pet and write a story about that.
You could write a narrative poem.
In your writing make sure that you include;
- Plan your writing first
- Organise and shape paragraphs effectively.
- Include adverbials
- Use persuasive language if applicable
- Use the full range of ks2 punctuation, including colons, semi-colons and dashes, to mark the boundary between clauses.
- Include similes, metaphors and personification
- Write and control a range of sentence structures including those which contain multiple clauses.
Shakespeare and Twelfth Night https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zqhn7yc
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhw9vwx
I would then like you to write a detailed piece of writing, comparing the two Shakespeare stories that we have looked at this term. (Twelfth Night and The Tempest)
If you would like to revisit the animations for The Tempest here is the link
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/english-ks2-the-tempest-index/zfdshbk
Here is another link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z87dg7h
What are the similarities/ differences? Which do you prefer? Why?
Before you start your writing read through the following prompts and then MAP OUT YOUR IDEAS FIRST.
You could start by comparing and contrasting features, such as:
- setting - when and where is each text set?
- genre - is it a comedy, something else?
- characterisation - the character’s behaviour, appearance, beliefs, experiences, dialogue
- narrative perspective - who is telling the story?
- language choices - the writer’s choice of words, phrases, imagery
- narrative structure - the order of events in the text
Structuring your comparison;
It can sometimes be tricky to structure your writing when making a comparison. It’s helpful to have some sentence starters and linking words that compare:
- Similarly
- Likewise
- Equally
There are also helpful sentence starters and linking words that contrast:
- In comparison
- However
Why are we doing this? Comparing texts can help to extend and deepen your understanding and analysis of texts

Residential Trip 2019
Friday Update
The children had great fun - soaking Mrs Sheraton... she was wetter than the children when they went raft building and swimming in the pond!
They all slept soundly last night ~ I think everyone was asleep by 11! This is a first for a school trip... and they all had to be woken up this morning. They are now enjoying archery and abseiling before burgers for lunch and the bus ride home!
The children have been an absolute pleasure- the best group of children I have ever taken. We have absolutely loved being their leaders and are so proud of each and everyone. Every child has had a go at everything... in or out of their comfort zone!
Thursday Update
We had a great afternoon yesterday, with giant swing and fencing ( think we have a couple of champions amongst us!) chicken curry or meatballs, salad, bread, apple crumble, yoghurt and fruit - we all had a good feed. Evening activity was capture the flag..,, good job they had stocked up on sweets ( vegetables in bags as they call it!) to give them energy as they continued to run around for an hour and a half.. continuously!
Then bed time... more sweets... lots of chat!!
After a relatively good nights sleep, we have had breakfast of scrambled egg, baked beans, bacon, porridge, cereals, fruit we are now taking part in canoeing and Jacobs ladder.
What amazing children we have with us- to say I am proud is an understatement!
Gaveston Hall Day 3 Update
We’re coming home.... Cameron’s coming home! .....in a couple of hours. Everybody slept a bit better last night so the general mood is happy and excited. This morning's activities include field zorbing and tree climbing!!!
Gaveston Hall Day 3
Gaveston Hall Day 2
We all had a lovely lunch of sandwiches and we have been learning how to set the table and clear up after lunch.
This morning we have been body-zorbing and karting. This afternoon we have enjopyed the delights of canoeing and buggy building - then racing our vehicles. Great fun!
Gaveston Hall Day 2
Not a lot of sleep was had by some people (!) but the children were in good spirits this morning regardless. They had a hearty breakfast and set off for an exciting morning of activities.
Zorbing, assault courses and problem solving challenges have been the order of the day so far....
Gaveston Hall Day 2
Gaveston Hall Day 1
if you look in the distance you can see the coach arriving... the calm before the storm!!! Everyone has had a really enjoyable afternoon; the children have all learned how to make their own beds - one more skill to add to their repertoire and no excuses at home now! At 5.00pm they were playing on the play area before tea and evening activities!

Day Three
We all had a good (ish) nights sleep, and are now packing before breakfast (what a task!!) Earlier on yesterday, one of the instructors said that her group could throw some water on her as it was so hot. The children asked me if they could 'get' me too. I said (because it was hot, a little water would have been refreshing) that they could sprinkle me a little later. The afternoon was jam-packed with activities and fun and then by evening I thought they had forgotten.... oh no.... so, a promise is a promise. At 9.15pm I was expecting a little bit of water from their water bottles - how naive! (I'm still not sure where they got them from but most of the children suddenly produced 2 full bottles of water, and obviously it was both groups by then, ready and waiting!) thankfully, Ms Corlett (my saviour) said only one bottle could be deployed!
We are now about to go off to breakfast, then it is our turn for the zip wire and aeroball! We are looking forward to seeing everyone later xx
Day Two
After a reasonably good night's sleep the children were all bright and breezy with a good game of football going on before breakfast. Then on to the activities.....
Mrs Sheraton said, "We have all had a great morning. We have been rafting and playing on the giant swing and are right now in the middle of abseiling and archery. The children are being an absolute pleasure to be with. I am very proud of their support, manners and spirit."
Quotes from the children:
Ellie, "It's been absolutely fantastic."
Amy-Louise and Amy T, "It's amazing here and the staff are really friendly."
Amy T, "This has been the best experience of my life."
All children, "It's better than Bushcraft!" "I love the giant swing." "The cabins were nice and clean (until the boys arrived)!" "The food is great!"
Day one
Everyone arrived safely and it is, of course, very hot, but plenty of water has been consumed! Here is a taste of where the children have been this afternoon....
Quotes of the day from the children...
"It's better than I thought it would be."
"Loving it."
"So proud of Amy-Louise- her target was to get half way up the pole.... and she smashed it to the top!"
"Amy, Amy, Ellie and Millie- all made it to the top with support from each other."
"Harvey exceeded his target of half way to get to the top rung, just not quite on the pole- but so, so proud of him!"
"Jonathan exceeded his target- he struggled, but he got to the very top..... he's in one of the photos!"
Mrs Sheraton has said, " I'm impressed already with the teamwork and support the children are giving each other - without any prompting. Let's hope it stays that way! They are all looking forward to finding out what's for tea!"
