Good morning Year 6. We are at the middle of the week!
Zoom Help Desk - I am looking forward to seeing the children who have booked an appointment. There is still time if you would like to speak to me.
Here is our weekly overview and our timetable for today.
‘Kindness is a gift that everyone can afford to give.’
For the next two weeks, I want us all to think about kindness and how we can make each other smile. I will be setting you all some small challenges that I know will have a big impact. Keep an eye on your emails and on our daily blog, but start thinking kind. What can we do to be kind? What small acts of kindness will brighten up someone’s day?
What little acts of kindness can you do at home today?
Please continue to devote some time to down time this week…keep up the non screen activities and send me some photos.
English - Newspaper Outcome 1 - The Death of Prince Otto
Today we are starting to write the main body of the text. Watch my example carefully and then think about how you are going to write your own.
Spelling
Keep practising those spellings.
I have set you a dictation on Purple Mash. Can you put the right word into the right space?
FIRST NEWS
Please continue to read First News…it will help you to write your own newspaper articles this week.
MATHS - A day to practise and consolidate
Rockstars for 10 minutes.
Fluency - see Purple Mash
IXL - L10, L11 and L12. You will need to jot and to be resilient. When looking at a mixed number fraction, you have to convert it to an improper fraction before you can find its reciprocal.
Science - Healthy body - Day 2 - What are the key parts of a healthy diet?
Which tasks do you need to complete today? IF YOU COMPLETE ALL TASKS, THERE ARE 3 EXTENSION TASKS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE TO COMPLETE. THESE ARE OPTIONAL IF YOU WANT TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH.
This is a two day task with 3 tasks to complete. You can choose the order that you complete the tasks and design your own timetable for the next two days.
Today, I have decided to give you another teacher for your science - just to mix it up a little bit.
Join Miss Hummel from Oak Academy as she takes you through the key parts of a healthy diet. Makes notes throughout her lesson on the food groups that make a balanced diet.
Task 1 - Food groups. Can you make an information text about the different food groups that you have learnt about?
Task 2 - Can you design a healthy plate of food? Think carefully about the different food groups and whether your meal is balanced.
Task 3 - Why is important that we drink water to keep hydrated? Use the following websites to research and then present your findings on the Purple Mash document that I have set.
PE Challenge - Home Court
This is a game of reaction and speed. Follow my video to see me take part and then show you how to set it up on your Apple devices.
Let me see your videos (you can download them and save them to your devices after you have had a go) and tell me your scores.
Can you beat me? Have a go this week and let me know how you get on.
