Thursday 4th June – Reading
Reading for pleasure
Earlier this year, we read the book, Goodnight Mister Tom. A story about a young boy named William, who was
evacuated away from his evil mother in London to the countryside, where he was made to live with a miserable old
man named Tom.
As the story began, we assumed that Tom was a bad match for William and we thought that the pair would never
bond. However, as the story went on, we learnt that William’s mother had treated William poorly for his entire life –
Tom also found out this information and was devastated.
As the days went on, Tom and William became a perfect match, and by the end of the story, William declared his
love for Tom by calling him ‘Dad’.
By the end of the story, William
and Tom were content in the
cottage and everything seemed to
have finally worked out for the
pair of them.
But that is exactly where it ends.
What about the end of the war?
What did William grow up to be
like?
Activity 1 Using your knowledge of the story, write a short story which follows on from where we left off.
Try to include all of the main characters.

Year 6 Topic – 1st June – 5th June
Topic Year 4
We have covered some of the most iconic battles throughout time since you started
at Ark Dickens – the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and the World Wars…
But that got me thinking… what about the knights wielding their swords to slay the
evil dragons? Were they noble men who fought hard to save their fellow humans,
or were they cold blooded warriors who wanted the dragons as a trophy for their
own ego?
The Big Question
Who would win the battle? Knights or Dragons
Select one or more activity from the menu below :
When completed, take a photo and email it to your teacher:
You are one of the characters in this picture. You
have travelled back in time. A time of knights and
dragons.
What happens next?
Use the story board template to continue the story using
only pictures, just like the books we have in class.

You have found an orphaned dragon in an
undiscovered part of a rainforest.
How would you train a dragon?

Could you train a dragon like you would train a
puppy?

You could use drawings to help explain each
instruction or use a camera to film your actions.
Knights had a shield (coat of arms) with pictures that
each had a special meaning.
On the sheet provided create your own ‘coat of
arms’
Knights were famous for wearing their shining
armour. But, in a world of ever changing fashion…
lets face it, armour is sooooo last millennium!
Design what you think a modern day knight might
look like. Don’t forget to label your design!!
Year 6 Topic – 1st June – 5th June
During the medieval times, knights would wear armour which often hid their identity
during battle. To resolve this and to generally identify themselves, knights began using
painted symbols on their shields so that they could be distinguished on the battlefield.
Create your coat of arms with these pictures in the different spaces.
Space 1: a person who is special to you
Space 2: your favourite pastime (reading, collecting rubbers)
Space 3: something that you are really good at
Space 4: your favourite place
Space 5: an animal that you think is strong
Year 6 Art – 1st June – 5th June
Weekly Art project:
Collage- Castles
This week you are learning about Knights and Dragons in your topic.
For art we would like you to create a collage of a local castle. You
could choose Southsea or Portchester Castle. You’ll need to consider
the resources you use to get the right colour and shape. You could
use; magazines, newspapers, catalogues or coloured paper.
