Dear Year Six Well done on completing Key Stage 2! We know that you have worked hard and need to enjoy your summer holiday before starting secondary school in September, but we want to make sure that you are fresh for Key Stage 3. This booklet has a few simple activities to work through each week and keep your brain active. All the answers are included in the back of the booklet for your parent/carer to check your work. There is also a reading list in the booklet to help you choose some books to read over the break. Additionally, it would be fantastic if you complete the reading log so we can see what you’ve read over the holiday. We look forward to meeting you!

CYCLES & INTERACTIONS INTERDEPENDENCE & PLANT REPRODUCTION Building on from Key Stage 2, you will start to understand how living things interact with one another and how energy travels from one organism to the next. This is important so we can make informed choices about things like conservation, farming and the food we eat. We will also learn about how plants reproduce; something really important to human survival on Earth.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

At KS2 you will have looked at the life cycles of mammals, birds, insects and amphibians.

You should be able to classify organisms and recognise how organism s are adapted to live in their environments.

Building on from year 7, you will start to understand how living things are dependant on one another and the importance of this. As we lose species from our planet each day it is vital that we see the importance of protecting them. Understanding how we use out food to release energy is fundamental in developing our understanding out our bodies and what they are capable of. As plants don’t eat it is important to understand photosynthesis and why plants do it to survive.

Your topic on ecology allows you to have a wide and developed understanding of the living world around you. This gives you the opportunity to see how things would function without our interference and, as a result, to developing opinions about how we as humans are disrupting this functioning and whether or not we need to do something to stop it before it is too late and there is nothing left to save.

Dear Student In order to understand a poem, first of all you need to understand its story. A poem is just a story in another form. Once you have figured out the story, you can begin to understand what the writer is trying to tell you about the world through that poem.

We know that you have worked hard and need to enjoy your summer holiday before starting secondary school in September, but we want to make sure that you are fresh for Key Stage 3.

Dear Student The Tempest is a story of betrayal and forgiveness. It is set on an island where Prospero, the one-time Duke of Milan, plots his revenge on those who usurped him.

Using magic, and a sprite he rescued on the island, he shipwrecks his enemies on the island, and torments them until he is ready to forgive them. The play provides an unforgettable adventure full of magic, love and excitement.

Literacy Strategy Delta Academies Trust uses the Vocabulary Acquisition Strategy to support students’ ability to communicate and strengthen their knowledge of vocabulary.

We have a systematic approach to the teaching of vocabulary.

To develop students’ ability to identify technical errors in their writing

To expose students to a wide range of challenging vocabulary

Structure The Vocabulary Acquisition Strategy is a systematic approach to building vocabulary.

Dear Student and Parent We know that reading is an essential skill that must be developed for children to be successful at school and in later life. With this in mind, we are committed to help your child be the best reader they can be. Reading at home is an important part of this and this guide will help you maximise its potential.

The English Team at Delta

It is through Lorem Ipsum this struggle with the

meaning of the word students embed the word and how to use it.

To ensure that students are retaining the words, students complete a readiness test to see how many words they know and how many words they remember at the end of each term.

Students are introduced to one word each week. Students says the word, they are introduced to the meaning of the word, then they wrestle with the meaning of the word by discussing some challenging questions

In addition, students then hear the word being used across their academy over the term in as many subjects as is suitable for the word encouraging them to use it in their written work and oral contributions.

Seven Deadly Sins

Our Ethos

Support At Home

Seven Deadly Sins focuses on seven common and repeated errors that have been identified to be addressed and corrected in systematic and robust way. The Seven Deadly Sins are:

As a Trust, we believe every member of staff is a literacy teacher and it a collective responsibility to support students with building their vocabulary and communication skills as well as helping them to write accurately.

Encouragement outside school with vocabulary and technical accuracy can have a huge impact on students.

•Correct use of capital letters •Correct use of your/you’re •Correct use of was/were •Correct use of their/there/they’re •Correct use of it’s/its •Correct use of apostrophe for contraction •Correct use of apostrophe for possession

Through the Knowledge Organiser, you can see the vocabulary that will be covered each term and the Seven Deadly Sin focus for the term.

Discussing words, using words, talking about words helps to build students’ vocabulary.

The Oak tree is native to the Northern Hemisphere.

North America has the largest number of oak species.

How old

ll?

The average life span is 100 - 300 years, but they can live up to 1000 years!

How ta

It takes an Oak tree 30 to 40 years to grow to full size. They can reach up to 45 metres high!

Acorns In Spring, Oak trees produce acorns which carry one seed.

If these are planted, a new Oak tree can grow!

Yorkshire Puddings

Ingredients 140g plain flour

200ml milk

4 eggs

sunflower oil

Method STEP 1 Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8.

beating until the mix is completely lumpfree. Season with salt and pepper.

STEP 2 Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or two 12-hole non-stick muffin tins and place in the oven to heat through.

STEP 5 Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes.

STEP 3 To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in 4 eggs until smooth.

STEP 4 Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on

STEP 6 Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned.

STEP 7 Serve immediately or cool them and freeze for up to 1 month.

Top Tip!

The secret to getting gloriously puffedup Yorkshire puddings is to have the fat sizzling hot and don’t open the oven door!
