19th June 2020
Dear parents and carers,
HOME LEARNING DURING CLOSURE PERIOD: Pack 6
Having recently reopened for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6, we now have children who continue to
complete all of their learning at home and we also have children who are learning both in school and at home.
The content of this learning pack will, therefore, be covered by the bubble leaders when, and if, your child is in
school then this work can be continued when your child is learning at home.
The information in this pack is from your child’s year group teachers outlining work that your child could complete
over the next two weeks: Monday 22nd June – Friday 3rd July 2020. This pack includes activities linked to RSE Day,
which is on 25th June. This annual event educates children about healthy relationships at an age appropriate
level. RSE Day encourages schools and the wider community to get involved so we encourage all of our pupils to
join in too.
We did not want the children to miss Sports Day, since for many this is an annual favourite, so we will hold our
Sports Day on Friday 3rd July. Teachers will be posting videos on Twitter throughout the day, challenging you and
your child to complete fun sports activities at home. These short films will then be available on the website at the
end of the day if you prefer to complete them all in one go, on an alternative day. For the children in school, we
will see whether guidance has changed by then, however, at the current time, we will not be able to organise for
children to do the activities in school because children cannot share PE equipment. We hope you have fun
competing against each other at home.
Our next pack will be the last before the summer holiday. This will have a focus on Arts and Culture, with each
year group learning about a specific language and the countries that speak it. The activities will cover all areas of
the curriculum and should prove to be a great way to finish our school year.
We hope that your child continues to enjoy their learning, whether in school or at home. Please stay connected
with the school, and your child’s teacher, by sharing some of your child’s home learning via the year group email
and following Branfil on Twitter (@BranfilPrimary).
Thank you as always for your support and understanding during this time.
Kind regards
Mrs Sansom, Headteacher

MATHS White Rose Maths
www.whiterosemaths.com/homelearning
We will now be using White Rose for your daily maths lessons. We use the White Rose Maths
scheme alongside Power Maths in school. The White Rose Maths Team prepares a series of five
maths lessons for each year group from Reception to Year 6 each week. Every lesson comes with
a short video showing you clearly and simply how to help your child to complete the activity
successfully. Click on the link above and follow the four steps below:
1. Click on the set of lessons for your child’s year group. 2. Watch the video (either on your own or with your child). 3. Find a calm space where your child can work for about 20-30 minutes. 4. Use the video guidance to support your child as they work through a lesson.
White Rose has set out a 12-week learning plan that means children can:
make sure they understand the main concepts they need for their work next year cover any new learning that they have not yet have done in school.
The 12-week plan
The plan shows the work that children will cover, week by week.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Although general feedback about the Bitesize activities has been positive, we have decided to subscribe to White Rose Maths. This means you will now be able to download the worksheets each week from our school website https://www.branfil.com/school-closure-home-learning/

Teacher Activities
Fraction Hunting Can you apply your knowledge of fractions to everyday life? What to do: 1. Find a recipe for something you could make (a meal, cakes, slime, whatever you can find!). 2. Write the ingredients on a piece of paper. 3. Find these fractions of the recipe and write it below the original ingredients list:
1
4 3
4 1
3 3
8
3
10
Product Hunt How many products can you make out of 4 digits? How to play: 1. You have the digits 4, 5, 7, and 8. You need to arrange them into a multiplication question like this: HTO x O = ? For example, you could make 458 x 7 =? 2. In each question, you can only use each digit once. Work out the answer to your calculation, using any method you like (but don’t use a calculator!). 3. Make a list of the different products that you have made on a piece of paper (remember, a product is the result of a multiplication). How can you make sure you have found all the possible products? Make sure you explain your reason carefully.

Perhaps you'd like to make up some of your own questions like these and send them to us.
READING Continue to read every day
You can choose any text type of your choice (e.g. newspaper, comic, book) from home, e-books
from the Havering library app or log on to Oxford Owl (see Spelling section below for log in
details) and select your colour band to read 2 to 3 e-books each week.
Ask your parents/carers to pose lots of questions to develop your understanding of the story.
Respond to the books that you read in one or more of the following ways:
Think about what other books you have are similar. How are they similar? What makes
them different?
Find a description of a character in your book. Have a go at drawing the character based
only on that description.
Try and retell the story but by changing every single detail in it.
Explain why you enjoyed this story to someone in your family.
First News
Each week we will be emailing a copy of First News to all parents which children can either read
on their tablets/devices or you can print off for them to read. There will also be a selection of
quizzes, puzzles and comprehensions in the same email which you can download and use when
needed.

gift. You could lay this out as a mind map or in a table.
Extension: Choose powerful adjectives, precise metaphors, sophisticated
similes when describing.

Friday Find an audience. Perform your poem. Try as you do so to get a reaction out of
your audience, they might laugh or be scared or any other emotion. If you have
done a really great job, please share it with us either on Twitter by tagging

SCIENCE Famous Scientists
This year we have studied a range of different scientific areas. Over the coming weeks, let’s do
some research on some of the important scientists who helped uncover the knowledge we
have been building this year.
The first scientist we are going to research is Stephen Hawking.
Find out as much interesting information as you can about this scientist and then find a
creative and interesting way to share that information. You could use PowerPoint, you might
create a poster or you might write a biography. Whatever you do, we look forward to seeing it!
Art Henri Matisse
Write 5 facts about Henri Matisse - can you share these facts with a family member? Can
you remember the facts by the end of the week?
Produce a piece of artwork inspired by Henri Matisse’s pattern and shape drawings.

PSHE Time to Talk
Discuss these questions with your families and write down your thoughts, explaining your choices
clearly
Would you rather have a magic carpet that flies or your own personal robot?
Would you rather be the worst player on a team that always wins or the best
player on a team that always loses?
Would you rather have one eye in the middle of your head or two noses?
Would you rather play in the snow in the mountains or in the sand at the beach?
Would you rather meet a superhero or a cartoon character?
On Thursday 25th June, it is RSE day. This year the theme is ‘Books I love about love’. Here are
some activity ideas to recognise this day and theme:
Read a book with your child about love and healthy relationships. Investigate what digital books are available to borrow virtually from your local library.
Take turns to choose a song or piece of music with lyrics that have a message you like about love and relationships, or play music from another era that your child may not know. Does the music bring back memories you can share?
