School Closure Homework
This week's activities 04/05/20:
Hello everyone!
I can't believe it's May already! If there was normal school, we would be doing our SATs next week. I've been getting lots of emails from your high schools which is really exciting. I'm getting to tell them all of the amazing things you can do.
Most of you picked up the home learning packs this week. I hope that you found them useful. I'd love to see some of the work you complete so either submit it online or you can return your pack to school when you collect your new one.
I will upload the work from the pack onto the school website too so if you don't collect your pack - don't worry. It will be on here.
Missing you all.

Reading
I hope you are enjoying the Curse of Cogston House. Read up to page 32.
Try the vocabulary work below. I’ve included some of the tricky words from the text.
If you don’t have a dictionary, try searching online for the meaning of the words and don’t forget to read the word in the sentences as most of the time you already know what it means! Sometimes I cover up the tricky word with my finger and think about another word that would go there in the sentence. That helps too!

Maths
In maths, we are going to look at missing angles in shapes. If you didn’t manage to get online to do last week’s homework on angles on straight lines, you can still access it here: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
This week we are looking at angles in quadrilaterals (remember a quadrilateral is a 4 sided shape!). We did this in class together so hopefully you remember some of it.
Follow this link https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/ and you will see video clips that explain each lesson activity in detail. It’s under summer term week 2. Don’t forget you can use your revision books to help you too.
I’ve also included some work on spotting angles. Don’t worry if you find something difficult just do your best.
Writing
I felt inspired from the story and really wanted to do some creative writing about Cogston house. I chose an image of a house that I think would look similar to Cogston house and thought it would be a great idea to imagine I went to visit it.
In your writing I want you to focus on describing the house and creating a really scary, tense atmosphere for your reader.
To help you with your writing, complete this writing interview first. Just like the ones we do in school!

Here are some ways you could start your writing…

- It was my second visit to Cogston house this week.
- It was early morning and the fog was like a thick blanket in the forest.
