Ramadan Home Learning –
Year 6
Ramadan Kareem.
The Year 6 team
would like to wish you all Ramadan Kareem during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Throughout
Ramadan, we ask the children continue to read for at least 20-30 minutes a day
as this will have a huge impact on their reading fluency, comprehension skills
and reading stamina in preparation for the upcoming assessments.
Below, you will
find different optional activities that you can complete during the afternoons
they are not in school.
Each of these
activities should take between 20 and 30 minutes and are entirely optional.

Kindness Diary - Reflection |
|
F1 Digital
Portfolio – Using last week’s assembly about
aerodynamics, continue/complete your digital portfolio slides about friction,
aerodynamics and motion.
F1 – Portfolio Formatting – Spend the afternoon formatting your verbal and digital portfolios. Ensure all text is easy to read, diagrams and images are positioned correctly. Think carefully about your colour palette as well as borders, animations and clip arts.
Kindness Diary – Over the next three weeks, you can note down acts of kindness you perform or witness. This could be helping a family member, sharing something, or even a kind thought about someone. At the end of the three weeks, you can reflect on how these acts made you and others feel, promoting the values of kindness and community central to Ramadan.
This can be written in your own notebook or
paper you can take from class. You can fold A4 paper to make a booklet and
write the date at the top of each page.
Reflect –
Do acts of kindness help the giver or the recipient more? Write a one paragraph
justification using examples from your life. Think of times when you showed an
act of kindness – how did it make you feel? Think of times when an act of
kindness was shown towards you – how did this feel? Does it depend on the
situation?

you – 50
Acts of Kindness
Make a Ramadan Calendar - Design a
simple Ramadan calendar with activities to do each day, like helping others,
learning a new fact about Ramadan, or doing good deeds. Each activity should
take only a few minutes.
Ramadan Charity Jar
– A Ramadan Sadaqah Jar is a special container used during the holy
month of Ramadan to collect small daily donations for charity (Sadaqah). Its
purpose is to encourage regular giving, cultivate generosity, and remind
individuals or families of the importance of helping those in need.
Use this help sheet to make your own Sadaqah
(charity) jar – Sadaqah
Jar
Ramadan informational poster
– Research and create a poster that includes key information about Ramadan,
such as the purpose of fasting, the importance of charity, and how it is
observed around the world.
Use paper from home (coloured or white) or ask
your teacher for some A3 paper. You can use paint, pencils, pens or even
collage to create your poster.
Iftar Meal
– Think carefully about your family’s favourite foods. How could you show your
love and appreciation for them through a thoughtful iftar meal. Find the
recipes for what you want to make (check with whoever will help you get the
ingredients and make the meal). Adjust the recipe using ratio and proportion to
meet the needs of your family. Add your recipe (basic and adjusted) and
photographs of your meal to Seesaw.
Book Review
– Your book review should include the title and author of the book, a brief
synopsis (without giving away the end!), what you enjoyed about the book, and
who you think would also enjoy the book.
A Model of the Heart and Lungs
– this may take you a little longer than 30 minutes and can be done over the
weekend. Use any ‘junk’ materials you have around the home. Can you use colour
and arrows to show how oxygenated blood travels from the lungs to the heart and
then to the arteries? Can you show how deoxygenated blood travels from the
body, through the veins, to the heart and then to the lungs? You might find

Design a Ramadan Quiz - Research and
prepare a 10-question quiz about Ramadan for your classmates. Each question
should focus on a different aspect of Ramadan, like history, customs, and
practices. Perhaps you may like to turn this into a Blooket to play with your
class.
Century Tech – My Pathway – Set
a timer for 30 minutes, complete as many Century Tech nuggets in your pathway
as you can. Make sure you are getting 80% correct. If not, re-do the activity
before moving on. Remember to ask an adult for help if you don’t understand
something.
Ramadan Storytelling
- Write a short story or poem about the spirit of Ramadan, focusing on themes
like kindness, fasting, or family. You can illustrate the story as well.
Kindness Diary Reflection
– Take some time to read through your kindness diary. Which acts of kindness
brought you the most joy? Were there any acts of kindness directed towards you
that made you happy? Write a paragraph summarising how doing daily acts of
kindness made you feel. Will this be something you look to continue on a
regular basis?
