Writing: All About Me
What makes you unique? Who are you now? Who do you want to
become?
Plan a piece of writing that tells your secondary school teachers
about what you are like as a person.
Here are some ideas:
A factfile: You could include your birthday, hobbies, interests, likes and dislikes, favourite
films, books, foods, animals etc.
A letter: Write a letter to your new teachers. What do you want to tell them about
yourself? Do you have any questions?
My ideal day: What would you do on your perfect day? Have you ever had an amazing day
that you would like to tell people about?
My family: Introduce and describe your family. You could
include a family tree.
My friends: Describe your friends and some fun memories
you have shared.
My passions: Write about something that you love. What do
you like so much about this?
My hopes and dreams: What do you want to achieve in your life? How would you change the
world if you could? What do you love about what people do today?
You do not need to complete all of these. Just choose one or two that you like the look of.
This week you just need to produce your first draft. Next week, you will write it up in best.
This writing is part of your “All About Me” project. When this is finished, we can send your work to
your secondary school so that they can start to get to know you.
Reading
What is your favourite book? Where is it set?
Write a setting description for your favourite setting from a book. Alternatively, you could make a
tourist guide for this setting or draw a map to help readers find their way.
Can we guess the book from your writing or map?
Spelling
Learn to spell the words on the Look-Say-Cover-Write-Check list towards the back of this pack by
completing one spelling activity from the “Spelling Menu” each day.
Remember to practise a few of the Statutory Spellings every day too.
Science It’s Electrifying
This week’s science is about circuit symbols. Complete the activities in the Circuit
Symbols document (on the website). If you have a Snap Circuit set or another type of
circuit building set at home, try building different types of electrical circuits and
drawing them using circuit symbols.
Topic Transition to Secondary School
Use the link below to access some lessons and resources to help
support you with moving onto secondary school. There is a booklet
that can be downloaded and completed, or you can answer the
questions in the slides on paper.

Art “All About Me”: Self-Portraits
Task: Draw yourself. You will need a mirror or a photo. This video may help:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/art-and-design-draw-self-portrait/z6ytscw
You can use pencil, crayon, colouring pencil, pen, paint or any other
art materials you have at home.
How can you show your personality? What else could you draw that
represents you?
This artwork will be part of an “All About Me” project that you will
continue next week. Email your pictures to us. We can eventually send your work to your secondary
school so that they can start to get to know you.
PSHE Showing Empathy
What does it mean to understand someone? Understanding how people feel is
sometimes called ‘empathy’ – this means you can imagine how they feel.
Watch the following Sesame Street clip about empathy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_1Rt1R4xbM
(Always ask an adult's permission before using YouTube and make sure you are supervised.)
Why is it kind to show empathy and understand how people feel?
Imagine someone is calling your friend names and other people are laughing.
Imagine how your friend might feel. Have you ever felt this way?
What could you do to show that you understand your friend’s feelings (show empathy)?
Task: Imagine that empathy is a seed, which can grow into a tree. Draw a seed on a piece of paper.
Below this, draw the roots. Inside each root write five kind things you can do to build empathy and
understanding with others. Draw the rest of the tree with branches and leaves. On each leaf,
write a positive thing that can come from understanding others and showing empathy.
Music
How does music make you feel?
Songs can make you feel different emotions. A song can make you feel
happy or sad, scared or excited. Watch the following BBC Bitesize clip
– Feel & Emotion Feat. Nina Simone.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zcbkcj6/articles/zc7m7p3
You do not need to watch the clip in order to do the activities.
Listen to some music. Try to listen to some songs that you know well and some that you have not
heard before. Write down of draw how each song makes you feel. Explain why the song made you
feel the way it did. Did any song make you feel different emotions at different parts? Choose one
song. Draw a picture to show how the song made you feel.
R.E. Do you have brothers or sisters? Or cousins? What do you like about having a
brother, a sister or a cousin? How do you look after them? What do you do to
show them that you love them?
This week, we will look at the festival of Rakshbandhan that is celebrated by
Hindus. It focuses on looking after others. It celebrates the relationship and
love between family members especially brothers and sisters. It is sometimes
celebrated by other family members who may have a similar relationship, such
as cousins or close friends. The sisters tie a Rakhi (bracelet) made from
coloured cotton or silk around their brother’s wrist, it symbolises protection
from evil. It is normally celebrated in August and this year it’s on 3rd August.
Have a look at this video to learn more about it.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/religious-studies-ks2-my-
life-my-religion-hinduism-celebrating-raksha-bandan/zjkygwx
Task: Can you draw a rakhi or make a rakhi using threads and beads? Maybe you want to tie it to
your brother or cousin’s wrist.
P.E. Try “Quick Shuffle” (coordination) challenge from the Virtual Surrey School Games.

Spelling Menu Choose how you want to practise your weekly spelling rule/words.
Try to choose a different activity each day.
Look-Say-Cover-Write-Check Look at the words on your spelling list and say
each one aloud. Copy each of the words. Cover the
word then write the word. Repeat for each word
in your list. Check that you have spelled the
words correctly. If incorrect, write out the
words correctly.
Book Search How many of your spelling words or
words that follow the spelling rule
can you find in your reading book?
Write out each word that you find.
Word Parts – Syl-la-bles Write out your spelling words in pencil. Use
different colours to divide each word into
syllables. Remember to count the syllables in a
word, count the number of “jaw drops” or tap the
beat of the word.

Spelling Pyramid Write out each of your spelling words one letter
at a time in the style of a pyramid.

Blue Vowels and Red Consonants Vowels are the letters: a e i o u
Consonants are all the other letters of the
alphabet.
Write out each of your spelling words using blue
for vowels and red for consonants.
Words on Back This is an activity for two. Ask an adult at home
to sit with their back to you. Now use your
finger to ‘write’ one of your spelling words on
their back. If you spell it correctly, you get a
point. If it is incorrect, write out the word
three times correctly. Swap roles. 😊
Spelling Artist Draw a very simple scene or a series of 2D
shapes. Now use coloured pencils to ‘colour’ the
scene or shapes with your spelling words. To do
this, simply fill up each image you have drawn with
your spelling words written over and over again.
Silly Sentences/Write a Story Have a go with using each of your spelling words
in a silly sentence. Alternatively, can you write
a 100 word or less story using words from your
spelling list? Underline each of your spelling
words.
Cut-out Words (Ask for permission before using any magazines
or newspapers.) Cut out letters from an old
newspaper or magazine and use them to spell your
words by gluing them onto a piece of paper.
Rainbow Spelling First write each of your spelling
words in pencil. Then trace over
each word using a different
coloured pencil or felt tip for each
word.
Alternative: Trace over each individual letter
using a different coloured pencil or felt tip.
Mirror Image Write out each of your spelling words correctly.
Next to each word, write the word again, but this
time in reverse.
measure erusaem
Beat the Clock Set a timer for 2 minutes. How many
times can you neatly write each spelling
word within that time?
Look – Say – Cover – Write - Check
Look at the words. Say the words aloud. Copy the words. Cover the words.
Write the words. Check the words. Correct the words.
Spelling Rule
A root word cannot be broken down into smaller words. Root words can be extended with
affixes (prefixes and suffixes).
A prefix is added to the start of a word and a suffix to the end to make another word.
Syllables are the beats in words: ‘do’ = one beat; ‘do-ing’ = two beats; ‘un-do-ing' = 3 beats
Word list Copy your spelling
words.
Cover the words and
write them without
looking.
Check and correct.
