Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
We cannot believe that there is only 2 weeks left of the Summer term - how quickly time has passed.
Well done to those of you who have continued to do your home learning during these tricky times. We know that it hasn't been easy.
Several of you have already had your welcome meeting / assembly at your secondary school and we hope that this went well - if you have any questions surrounding your transition, please either contact your class teacher - we will try to do our best to help you - or contact your secondary school directly.
We would like you to continue to refer to the BBC Bitesize pages for Literacy and Numeracy every day. You should also be using your Timestable Rockstars to practise your tables and using Bug Club, where we have set you all some books to read and answer questions on. You can continue to use My Maths and Purple Mash to play games and practise other skills. If you would like further work (or any MyMaths), please email your class teacher. You are also welcome to use the Year 5 home learning packs on this website.

Physical Education at Home
Below are some helpful internet links to help guide and educate your children with physical education activities at home.
PE has proven to be as important as ever within children with huge physical and mental health benefits.
A high percentage of children around the country have been taking part in the Joe Wicks fitness workouts during the lockdown period, which has been an excellent learning tool to staying active!
The links below have more of a focus on developing the children’s physical literacy and fundamental skills. This covers the children’s ABC’s. Agility, Balance and Co-ordination.
Physical literacy is a gateway for your children to learn and develop a wide range of movement skills like running, jumping, throwing and catching. These skills aim to develop the confidence and motivation to engage in and enjoy physical activity.
Fundamental movement skills are the building blocks required to form more generalised, specific sports skills. They are the physical equivalent of spelling in English, or multiplication in Maths.
In very simple terms, different combinations of these skills (running, jumping, kicking, striking etc…) can be combined to form more sports specific skills.
The links below can be done independently by the child or with a sibling/parent in the garden or somewhere safe in the house. You can use a variety of equipment from footballs, tennis balls, bats, and rackets or bunched up socks? Use your imagination to change and adapt these activities to what equipment you have at home.
**Please send the school any videos of your children taking part in different PE activities at home**

You can add, change and adapt any of these activities to your child’s needs. Just use your imagination!
Any skill activity shouldn’t last longer than 30 minutes. 15-20 minutes is long enough.
If you have any questions or want to discuss any ideas, please contact Mr Proudfoot at Upton Junior School.
