Your Memory Project
Your
Memory
Project
For the next 6
weeks, you will
be creating a
memory book of
your time at
Myland,
particularly your
time in Year 6.
The focus for
each day is
outlined on this
timetable and
each day will be
split into 3 parts,
just like the
school day…(see
next slide).
Don’t forget, other daily activities, such as…
- Learn a new word of the day
- Play on Times Tables Rock Stars
- Analyse a sentence of the day using SPaG knowledge (choose a sentence from your book)
- Reading – create VIPERS questions based on your reading book (test your family!)
…could be included and could be added in to any of the 3 time slots if you find yourself with some extra time.
Part 1 (Before break time): Arithmetic skills revision and practice (make your own questions – 1 of each skill - based on the
next slides) and then think about the ‘memory’ focus for the day. Plan your memory book page including any of the details
given on the daily slide (imagine this is like your workbook at school and you are going to produce a topic page).
Part 2 (Between your break and lunch): Play Countdown – both letters and numbers - and then produce a beautiful page for
your memory book. This can be one on any paper that you have – be creative about how you can make this into a book!
Part 3 (After lunch for the afternoon): Read independently then write a short script for sharing your memory with an
audience. Share your memory book page (using your description/script) with someone at home or a friend over the phone.

to use one of yourself
