Year 6 English Week Beginning 1st June

Date: 28th May 2020 @ 11:01am

Welcome back Year 6,

We hope you have had a lovely break and are well rested. Below is an outline of the week. You will start the week be learning how to write formally using the subjunctive form in job applications. Later in the week you will move on to poetry where you will practise your performance skills, answer questions and make recommendations. 

 

Please open each day for further details of the tasks and resources.

Monday

Aim:  Learn subjunctive, practise in sentences and extended writing.  

You will start the week off by learning all about the subjunctive form. There is a PowerPoint attached with audio, this will help you to be independent in your learning.

Just for fun – Watch the video on the subjunctive form in songs. Which celebrities use the subjunctive form correctly? Listen carefully for those who say ‘If I was’ (perhaps they need to go back and learn the subjunctive form).

Tuesday

Aim: Revisit subjunctive, practise identifying and using in extended writing.

Today you will continue learning the subjunctive form. Can you identify the subjunctive form in the president application information? Have a go at writing a president application, don’t forget the subjunctive form.

Wednesday

Aim: Read a poem, learn by heart and write additional verses.    

The subjunctive form can even appear in poetry. Read the poem carefully, can you identify the subjunctive form? Can you add some extra verses to the poem using the subjunctive form?  You should be an expert by now.

Thursday

Aim: Read a poem, learn about performance and prepare a performance.   

Today we will continue with poetry. You will focus on poetry performance. Film your poetry performance (if possible) and share it with a friend or family member.

Friday

Aim: Read two poems, answer questions and write a recommendation.    

You will read two poems today which both come from a very popular fairy tale. Which do you prefer? Which would you recommend to a friend?

We have also attached the spellings for the this half term (please start at list 4). 

We hope you enjoy this week’s English lessons.
