Year 6 Homework
and
Remote Learning Page
Here to help you keep learning away from school
Welcome to Year 6's Learning Page. During this period of remote learning, daily work will be set on Seesaw. Seesaw is designed to function on any PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Children can also use DB Primary via the Children's Pages on this website to find activities, post on the class forum and email other children or their teachers.
On this page we will give you some ideas of some extra activities you can do in and around the main work on your Seesaw page. These might be good if you have finished your work on Seesaw and want something else to do or of you want to have a break in between the activities your teacher has set. They are all based around not needing too much help from your parents or carers so you should be able to do them on your own!
If you need any more support with your remote learning such as your log in details, please email your teacher at year6@stthomas.org.uk, or message us through your DB Primary Email.
Thank you, Mrs Fullwood and Mr Boosey

Huddersfield Town Foundation have sent over their activity pack that we would normally be using in school. As we aren't open fully, we are making it available for you to use at home.
Download the PDF document and follow the tasks. If you'd like a printed copy from school, contact your teacher at year6@stthomas.org.uk and we can arrange that to be left in reception to be collected.
