Home-learning – guided reading

Posted on by

Hi everybody,

There appears to be an intermittent problem with the Bookscool website, which is frustrating as I know you need to access this to read Skellig online. We don’t know how long this website will be down for, so in the meantime, please use your reading session to focus on your home reading instead. Choose a selection of questions from the Guided Reading question cards and write them and the answers in your home-learning books. Please give detailed answers and reference the text where appropriate.

Thank you!

Good news! My home copy of The Pants Project by Cat Clarke has arrived, and this afternoon I have been learning new editing skills. I’ve had to dig deep and use a growth mindset, because it’s definitely proved to be challenging, but now it’s done, I’m pleased with the results. So, here are the next instalments, chapter 31 (parts 1 and 2).  They follow on from Ms. Moores’ reading, which can be found here, on the Year 6 Home-Learning page.  Make sure you listen to the top bar first, otherwise you’ll be listening to the story backwards, in chunks… Enjoy!

Aurora has sent in a copy of her Good News Project, which includes what looks like a delicious but really simple recipe for homemade tagliatelle.  If you would like to have a go making some at home, I’m sure that Aurora would love to know how you get on, so please leave a comment below.

If you would like to write your own newspaper article, the template can be found on Pelham’s Easter home-earning activities page).

Aurora, you have earned yourself two house points – well done!

Another piece of Good News reporting has landed on my desk since I posted this.  Thank you Mia, it sounds as if you marked Anzac Day in a very poignant manner.  As usual, please remember to comment and give constructive feedback on both the content and presentation of this piece of work.

House points

In the interests of keeping Pelham’s spirit of competition strong, I have decided that, from today, I will award house points to children who engage with their learning through the blog. I intend to publish house points at the end of every week and keep a running total.

The house with the most house points by the time we return to school will get a special prize at our end of year party!

WORK HARD AND EARN HOUSE POINTS - Keep Calm and Posters Generator ...

So, first of all, I have a confession to make… I have totally appropriated this idea from Mr. Burns…

To reward you guys for both your great effort in home-learning and your engagement with this blog, I am thinking of creating a virtual house points chart that I will share with you on a weekly basis. Perhaps the winner can have a special treat at our end of Year 6 party, whenever that may be…

What do you think?
