Reading gives us somewhere to go when we have to stay where we are.
Welcome to the Y6B Class Page
Please find below home learning instructions for Year 6.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me: joanne.boyle@greave.stockport.sch.uk
One thing I'd like you all to continue with throughout the school being closed is reading. You all know how much I love reading, and it makes such a huge difference to our ability to write, think, experience the world and build upon our creativity among lots of other things, too! There are lots of free audio stories that you can find and listen to if you're stuck for books - I know lots of you prefer to listen to a book being read to you rather than reading it yourself.
Keep smiling. We will get through this together.

Topic
Read through the PowerPoint. It starts off by getting you thinking about your local area and then moves on to discuss human and physical geography, before beginning to compare your area with a region in North America. Look through the different pictures of regions of North America and consider whet their culture is like, what the terrain is like, what the climate is like and what their population is like.
Your task is to choose one of the location cards (see the resources) and then use the question cards (also in resource document) to research your chosen area to then compare it with your own region.
Mild – Focus on two questions and record your research on worksheet 6A.
Medium – Focus on three questions and record your research on worksheet 6B.
Hot - Focus on four questions and record your research on worksheet 6C.
You can present your research however you like – an oral presentation; a PowerPoint; an information booklet or a poster.

Today's activities need you to think about your decisions. You need to make the answer by finding all the numbers that total (add up to) a given number. I want all possibilities found and a question I will be asking is: how do you know you've found all possibilities?

Art
Today's North American Artist is the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Have a look through the PowerPoint at some of his famous buildings that he made.
Your activity is to then make a Building Block House using any resources that you can find. It needs to be 3D and needs to be able to stand on its own without support of you (or a wall) to hold it upright. Make sure you take the ideas from Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings and maybe even choose one to base your design on.
I cannot wait to see how creative you are with your designs (an extra 10 points if cake is involved in your building block house!).
