From October half term onwards, optional extended home learning challenges will be set half termly on the Year 6 class page on the school website. 

Each half term, children will be given a photo, picture or maybe an open-ended question or specific topic related to our WAC or Science unit. Children can then be as creative as they like to create a piece (or pieces) of work in any style that they want related to the task set. There is no right or wrong answer - we are just hoping to encourage and develop creativity and independence. 

Examples of work could be: a poem, a piece of art work, a 3D model, a report, a story, a fact file, a video, a song, interview someone of relevance...the possibilities are endless! 

In the last week of each half term, time will be given to celebrate the work created by the children who take part. 

*Check back here after half term for the first challenge!

Autumn 2 

Our Geography topic this term is all around Our Earth, focusing in particular on the key question: Do we always appreciate what we've got? The picture below is what we would like you to base your optional homework on. You could create a poem, a board game, a song, a piece of art, or literally anything else you can think of that links to the picture and our WAC topic. You will have until Wednesday the 18th of December to hand it in if you wish. Have fun
