Advice for New Y6 Pupils
At our Zoom meeting on 3rd July, I asked if our Leavers could think of some good advice to give to Y5 pupils coming into Y6 in September. Can you provide some helpful tips to help Y5s have a happy and successful Year 6?
Record yourself (or ask someone to video you) giving your advice and then either upload onto Tapestry or email the video to me at year6@ferringceschool.co.uk. |

All classes are now using Tapestry Learning Journals to keep a record of all your brilliant home learning achievements. Parent should have log in details to your journal to upload photos, documents and videos of your activities across the curriculum. I will use the comment boxes to feedback on how you are doing. I will try to respond as soon as I can. :) Contact me or the school office if you do not have a Tapestry log in. |

I will update this page as often as I can now that I am back working full-time in school and also respond to your emails and any Tapestry posts. Please keep sending in your work and your photos and I will post them on this page under the 'Excellent Job' and 'Extra Curricular' zones below. :) |
For Daily English and Maths Lessons, choose one of these two online learning websites.
I strongly recommend selecting and following just one of these options consistently over the week to ensure a coherent learning progression. Please do send in any work - or upload onto Tapestry - whatever programme of home learning you choose. I will feedback on all work you send in, no matter what it is! :)
Oak National Academy schedule consists of a daily video lesson on English, Maths and a foundation subject with follow up activities that can be completed online. This is an excellent resource and offers a straightforward and streamlined curriculum ideal for busy parents.
BBC Bitesize home learning schedule also provides daily lessons in English, Maths and foundation subjects supported by videos and follow-up activities that can be downloaded/printed to be completed at home. This is also an excellent resource.

HISTORY:

THE TITANIC On 15th April 1912, a cruise ship called 'The Titanic' sank with great loss of life. Although this happened more than 100 years ago, it remains a famously fascinating and tragic historical event - and it would have been our topic this half term. I have collected together some videos, documents, useful websites and photographs for you to research the facts about this notorious disaster. If you feel inspired to create some work of your own in response to your findings about 'The Titanic', that would be awesome! You could choose to focus your English activities on these resources instead of lessons through Bitesize or Oak Academy this week - it's totally up to you.
Ideas for Titanic response work:

PSHCE Focus:
TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL
With just 4 weeks left of primary school, you all now have your sights set on your new schools and on the secondary phase of your education. I know that your high schools have been keeping in touch with you and sending transition ideas, videos and work for you to complete at home. Although we at Ferring are sad to wave you goodbye, your high schools are really looking forward to welcoming you!
Mr Ryan has found (and created) some additional transition booklets for you to download and complete as part of your preparation for your next big step. If you would like to take a look at these and use the questions and activities to help you get ready for September, please feel free - and let us know if they have been helpful. :)

Click for link to the UK Space Agency webpages
NPL (National Metrology Institute) has teamed up with the UK Space Agency to set this year's Rocket Science competitions. Usually, these are water rocket challenges open to all school age children (primary and secondary) with a focus on engineering and measuring skills. This year the challenges are virtual, the competition online. |

Go to the NPL webpage to find out how to enter the above competition and click on the image above for a video link to get your ideas going for this challenge! |

COMPUTING
 |
Try out these home learning activities from Barefoot Computing. On their website it says: 'Computational thinking is about learning to solve problems, with or without a computer. These problem solving skills not only support the computing curriculum in primary school, but also play a part in other subjects, from maths to PE, and can even be applied in everyday life!' Sounds like a must for anyone missing Mr Ryan's Computing lessons! :) Click on the image on the left for a link to the Barefoot Home Learning page. |

Ocean Hero is a search engine to use when browsing the internet, like Google, but this browser pledges to help clean the world's oceans of plastic rubbish every time you use it. Ocean Hero works with other eco-organisations to pay people living in some of the poorest regions for plastic waste they have picked from their local shores and taken to a recycling centre. For more information about the Ocean Hero search engine, click on their webpage and on the link to a video explaining how Ocean Hero works. Thank you Chloe for suggesting this as a way we can use home learning to create a cleaner, greener world. |
