Coronavirus Home Learning

Blwyddyn 6 - Year 6

Whilst school is closed, you can continue your learning by completing your home learning pack and/or by using the websites and activities below.

 

 

 

 

Thema/Context 

 This term, our context theme is 'Global Challenges'. We will focus on natural disasters that have occurred around the world and the causes of these!

Below are a list of tasks that can be completed at home. 

 

1. Use KWL grid to identify facts that you already know about natural disasters and what you would like to find out. Research different types of natural disasters.  You can use the internet, books, videos. Display the information in a short presentation using any media you wish - ICT, writing, drawing, making models. Have fun!
2. Write a diary entry about experiencing a hurricane or tornado. Write about the build up, the actual event and the aftermath.
3. Write a set of instructions on how to stay safe in a hurricane. Use the Hurricane 8 Tip Advice poster in "Global Natural Disasters" to give you some ideas.
