We’re very sorry that we aren’t all in school together and that it looks like we’ll be learning from home for a while.
This half term we have lots of fun and exciting lessons planned and we’re looking forward to jumping into our new topics! We know that learning from home can be tricky at times but we would really like you to follow the plans that we post on here. Each lesson will build on the one that came before it and so it is important that you try not to miss out any.
We love to see the work that you complete at home! As well as having assignments to do on Teams, you can send us pictures and messages using our Year 6 e-mail address: year6@abbeyroadprimary.co.uk. As a practice at logging into Teams and completing an assignment, we have set you a simple task to complete this week. Login to find out more!
Top tips for home learning:
Make sure you have a designated workspace that has all the equipment you’ll need “your office”. It doesn’t matter where it is so long as you are comfortable to work there. There’s nothing more distracting than having to get up every two minutes to find something else so, just as we do at school, make sure you have your pencil sharpened, a rubber, a ruler, a drink and whatever else you can think of. Try to keep to a similar routine each day – starting school at the same time. Routines help us feel calm and so do your best to stick to a daily timetable. You could use the one below if you want, or you could design your own.
Before 9:00 – Wake up, have breakfast and tidy your room
9:00 – PE with Joe Wicks
9:30 – Maths
10:15 – Take a break
10:45 – English task
11:30 – Reading your own book
12:00 – Break for lunch
1:00 – Time for more school work
2:00- Creative play or mindfulness (lego, colouring, craft, cooking, music, get some exercise)

P.S.H.E.
We are starting our new topic this half term: dreams and goals. Use this booklet to explore your strengths and begin setting your own goals for yourself. PSHE lessons often lend themselves to lots of discussion – if you are able to, discuss the questions shown in the PowerPoint with a family member.
