Happy Friday, everyone!
It’s the last day of term and what a crazy year this has been!
Finally, now we’ve all seen it at school, here is the Y6 Leavers video. Hopefully you can keep it and look back on it in years to come and be reminded of how awesome we think you are. Enjoy!
Mr Wain and I would just like to thank you all, both adults and children, for all your hard work – not just over this tricky lockdown period – but the entire year. It’s been a pleasure to work with each and every one of you.
Today is the final part to our Dragon’s Den task!
First up, your first task is to present your sales pitch to someone else at home or video it and send it to me. You’re presenting your product to the Dragons so really go for it! You’ve worked so hard!
R2s:
- volume
- expression
- steady speed
- confidence
- really sell your product
The final part to your Dragon’s Den is to make a prototype – a small model to show what it would really look like.
You can make your prototype out of any materials: play doh, newspaper, card… anything at all!
As always, send a picture of your finished article!

Well, it’s the last day of the summer term. Sadly, the school year has ended in a very unexpected way. All the staff in Year 2 are incredibly proud of each and everyone of you. 
Today, I have given you some tasks about continuing to stay safe online. We have been using technology an awful lot over the last few months and it is very important to stay safe online just as you do in the real world.
Task 1
Staying safe online
Watch Episode 3 – Playing games
https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends-videos/
Talk about how to stay safe when playing games online.
Task 2
Choose an activity to complete.
T2-I-050-Internet-Safety-Wordsearch_ver_1
T-I-025-Internet-Safety-Things-to-Keep-Safe-Activity-Sheet
Task 3
It is important to understand that sometimes things don’t appear quite ‘right’ online and can be dangerous or distressing.
When should you ask an adult for help or advice?
Who are personal ‘safe’ adults who children can trust about online worries?
Can you sort these scenarios into two groups?
- Does it feel right?
- Does it feel wrong?

Hello children
First of all, I’d like to share a poem I wrote for you. I hope you enjoy it!
Task 1
Who was Roald Dahl?
I’d like you to take a look around the Roald Dahl Museum. There is so much to see and lots of online activities. Have fun on your visit and note down anything you find very interesting.
https://www.roalddahl.com/museum/visit/virtual-museum-tour
Task 2
LO: I can predict
Look at these closely at these pictures.
Now, answer these questions.
Who is the main character?
What do you think is in the box that’s on the seat in the van? Explain your answer.
Where could the van be going?
True or false? This story is set in a hot place. You need to give reasons for your answer.
Do you think this story will make you laugh?
Now, you can enjoy the film.
Were your predictions correct?

Task 3
Reading
Sing along with this song. Read the words as you go.
So long, farewell (from the Sound of Music)
There’s a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)
coo-coo Regretfully they tell us
coo-coo But firmly they compel us
coo-coo To say goodbye
To you
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen
I’d like to stay
And taste my first champagne
Yes?
No!
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye
I’m glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly
The sun has gone
To bed and so must I
So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Now, write a list of any words that are new to you. Can you find out what they mean?

Hello Year 1! Nearly there 🙂
Here are your tasks for today:
Writing
I’ve posted some photos of some the things we did before lockdown. I miss those days and can’t wait to have everyone back in school. I want you to have a look at them and talk about them with someone in your house.
Then, click on this sheet and write about your favourite memories. You can also write about other things that you can remember even if there isn’t a picture of it.

Week 14: 16 July 2020: Home learning
Morning, everyone!
Today, we’re carrying on with your Dragon’s Den task.
The first part is market research. You need to have a discussion with someone else about your product design. Speak to someone face to face, call someone on the phone or chat over video call. You might ask the following questions or add your own.
- What do you think to the product’s look?
- What would you improve?
- What are the best features?
- Can any be improved?
- Do you think the price is reasonable?
- Would you buy this product?
- What are the overall strengths?
- What are overall areas to improve?
The more people you ask, the better your product will be.
The second part of today’s task is computing.
After taking on board feedback and making any necessary changes, you need to create a sales pitch to present to the Dragons tomorrow. You could do this on multiple posters, on PowerPoint or KeyNote. You might need to do some online research so make sure you’re making safe choices! You should present:
- the best features
- why your product is better than your rivals
- who it’s aimed at
- your market research results
- what it’s made of and why
- how much it would cost
- why you decided to make this product
Your presentation should last 5-10 minutes so you could prepare some flash cards with your speech on it, too.
As always, we’d love to see your inventions and products! Send us an email and we might even want to buy one!
Week 14: 15 July 2020: Home learning
Happy Wednesday, Y6!
It’s nearly time to say goodbye to Moortown forever.
I was originally going to put a link for a farewell video I’ve made on the website tonight but I think I’ll save it so that we can watch it as a class together for the first time on Thursday. So the new “release date” will be this Thursday evening at 7pm instead. Thanks for understanding!
Today’s task is a little bit different – the first part of a three day series of Dragon’s Den!
There are several stages that you need to go through covering a wide range of subjects and skills.
The first stage is Design and Technology.
You need to design a product. It can be anything – hover boots, a chair, jewellery, headphones… whatever you like! There are lots of sheets online that can help you structure this design process if you need one. Think about the following questions:
- What is your product for?
- Does it solve a problem?
- Who is it aimed at?
- What are its features?
- What is it made of?
- What size is it?
Send in an email of your design.
Week 14: 15 July 2020: Home learning
Good morning!
Today, you have the usual 3 tasks.
Task 1
Listen to this story about a cautious caterpillar.
Now, answer the questions.
Task 2
Now, it’s your turn to be a butterfly. Soon, you will be spreading your wings and moving from Year 2 to Year 3.
Who is this man?
Yes, it’s Mr Wain! He is going to be your new class teacher. If you look on our Class News page, you will see a short video he has made for you all.
You know a few things about Mr Wain but he doesn’t know much about you!
I’d like you to do one of the following activities to help Mr Wain get to know more about you.
- write a letter/postcard all about yourself
- draw and label a picture of yourself
- complete this booklet

Let’s get creative. Use your imagination to make and decorate a butterfly.

You can use whatever materials you like to create your butterfly. Here are a few more ideas to help.
Here is the outline of a butterfly. You don’t have to use it!
