Autumn 2 Homework Pack

1. Autumn 2 Homework
Weekend homework will involve longer tasks but will take just under two weeks to complete. The aim of
this homework is to encourage you to think ‘outside the box’ – to develop your ability to think creatively. It
may seem strange to start with, but after a while we think you will enjoy the tasks and that the skills you
develop will help you to work more independently at high school.
If you want to complete your homework on the computer and either:
email it in, create a Prezi, use slide-share to post on the blog then these are strongly encouraged. (Blog

If you do not have a computer, are not able to access the internet, or simply prefer it, then it is acceptable
to bring in handwritten work.
Your homework MUST be completed on time. You will not be told HOW your homework will be marked.
Sometimes the teacher will mark it, sometimes a friend, it could even be marked in a group. If you don’t
complete your homework you will have to do it during your own time whilst at school.
Should you wish to contact the Year 6 team use the following names followed by

Task 1

3. We would like you to become the next James
Cameron and create your own fantasy world.
You should think about the environment and
atmosphere of you planet. Could humans use
the natural oxygen in its atmosphere or does it
not have oxygen? How would humans survive
there? What does the landscape look like?
What is the climate like? Think about these
things as well as animals you might find there.
You could create a poster, comic strip, model
or write a few paragraphs about your planet.
You could even create your own Non-Fiction
book all about your planet. Don’t forget that
we encourage you to use media and
computers so that we can share your work on
the blog.
