Home Learning week of 19th October 2020
The home learning is based on the teaching and learning that the children would be receiving in class with many of the activities being the same wherever possible. Over the course of the week, we ask that the children complete as many of the home learning tasks as possible. Home learning will be placed on the school website weekly and is for those children who are having to self-isolate at home. (There will also
If you have any questions or would like log in information, then please email the year 6 team at year6@grafton.bardaglea.org.uk

Lesson 1 - Moral Dilemma
Click here and listen to the next part of Friend or Foe. (If you have missed the previous episodes then listen to episode 4 before).
Stop at 5.23 mins.
David and Tucky are faced with a moral dilemma.
What is a moral dilemma?
What should David and Tucky do?
Activity
Give David and Tucky some advice.
- What should they do with the German soldiers?
- Should they help them?
- Or should they go back and tell Mr Reynolds that they are there?
- What do you think is the right thing to do?
Write to David and Tucky and tell them what you think they should do in this situation. Make sure you explain why you think this!
Lesson 2 – Write a postcard
What is a postcard? A card for sending a message by post without an envelope. They usually have an illustration or photo on one side. Postcards played a key role in the lives of soldiers during WW2
Activity
Today, you are going to plan and write a postcard from the German soldier to his family at home in Germany.
Think about:
- What key events he might mention?
- What might he tell his family about?
- Does he enjoy being a German soldier?
Organise your ideas using the following ideas:
- Greeting (e.g say hello, how are you? I miss you)
- Explain what happened to you ( e.g the plane crash and describe where you ended up)
- Explain what could happen now (e.g You met the boys and they might help)
- Say goodbye ( e.g Goodbye - hope to get home safe and see you soon).

Watch this video to learn how to plot coordinates in the four quadrants
Activity
Challenge 1

Challenge 2
Plot the points and join them in order with a straight line.
- (4, 6)
- (1, 1)
- (6, 4)
- (4, 0)
- (6, -4)
- (1, -1)
- (4, -6)

Today you will be using the grid below to answer the following questions.
Question 1
Plot the following co-ordinates on your grid. (Remember to use a ruler!)
- A (5, 2)
- B (4, 4)
- C (-1, 2)
- D (-2, -3)
- E (2. -5) join E back to A
What is the name of this shape?
Question 2

- B (0, 6)
- C (-3, 5)
- D (0, -5) Join D back to A
- What is the name of this quadrilateral? _______________
Question 3
Plot the following co-ordinates on your grid. (remember to use a ruler!)

- C (4, 3) D (4, -1)
- E (2,-5) F (-2, -5)
- G (-4, -1) H (-4, 3)
- Join H to A

Reading
You should still make sure that you are reading at least 3 times a week. To help make this a little easier, we have set up an Epic! Reading account for each Year 6 class. By following your class's unique log in details, you will have access to hundreds of books that you can explore for free!
- Between the hours of 7am - 4pm Monday - Friday, you can log in to Epic School using your individual class code.
- If you would like some extra time to read, you can access a selection of books on Epic Free for up to 2 hours/week, after parents sign up with an email address.
All class codes will be sent home to children with details about how you can log in. This information will also be sent to parents and carers via the Weduc app.
Follow this link to take you straight to the Get Epic log in page and start exploring!
