Monday’s learning and Home Learning Packs

Below is the link to week 1 Home Learning Pack:

Just a reminder about the use of the Home Learning Packs:

The majority of the content is the same as the daily blogs but adapted slightly to avoid the need for external websites. Some children may require maths that has been adapted slightly so in the document we have produced a separate ‘adapted maths’ section to ensure they are practising work suited to them.

We are aware that moving from one link to another can be time-consuming for some so by uploading a week’s worth of learning we hope we can provide further support to those families who would prefer this method.

Monday’s Learning 1/5/2020:

English: Watch the video called ‘Little Freak’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INHVxA-rM48

and plan a setting description. Use bullet point notes to identify what you can see in the main setting of the video:  e.g jug, chains, chair. Next, get a thesaurus and add description to your objects that you have identified: e.g. chains with an abundance of spikes sharply pointing into the air

Maths:

Complete the following arithmetic paper (answers at the bottom):

Watch lesson 1 on the following website, complete the worksheet and check your answers

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/

German:

You will be practising numbers, colours and the question “Magst du ….?” (Do you like ….?) with various topics and you will be able to practise your speaking skills. You will need: a piece of A4 paper, coloured pens and scissors. If you do not have access to the internet, see if you can ask an adult to show you how to make one…

  1. Watch this video on how to make a “chatterbox”. Follow the instructions on how to make it. You will be writing slightly different things inside it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpsmrQdN0Do
  2. Colour in the four squares each with a different colour (like on the video) and also write in German the colour (eg, rot, blau, gelb, grün, weiß, braun, schwarz, lila, rosa).
  3. On the small triangles inside (like on the video) write any 8 numbers between 1 and 30 and then write the German words for those numbers as well. Use the numbers sheet from Monday 18th May to help you spell them. 
  4. Underneath the triangles, when you lift them up you are going to write some questions (not like on the video this time). Questions must all start with “Magst du…?” which as you know, means, “Do you like…?”.
    Here are some example questions to help get you started but you can use any food / drink / school subjects / activities words in German: 

Magst du Orangen? (Do you like oranges?)

Magst du Vanilleeis? (Do you like vanilla ice cream?)

Magst du ….? Schwimmen (swimming), Tanzen (dancing), Gymnastik (gymnastics), Fußball (football)

Magst du ….? Englisch, Mathe, Musik, Sport

Magst du ….? Apfelsaft (apple juice), Tee (tea), Kaffee (coffee), Wasser (water)

5. How to play:

Ask a sibling or adult to choose a colour – say it in German. Spell out the colour whilst opening the chatterbox to the top and side.

Now ask your partner to choose a number (in German). Open out the chatterbox to the top and side and count up to the number they have chosen IN GERMAN. 

When you finish counting, your partner has to choose another number in German. Open the flap under that number and read out the question underneath. Your partner can answer Ja (yes) or Nein (no) or they could say Ja das ist lecker (Yes that is delicious) / Ja das macht Spaß (Yes that is fun) or Nein das ist nicht so gut (No that is not good) – or other opinions you have learnt in German.

Welcome back!

Welcome back, year 6!

This half term will see us recapping many of the skills we feel will support you when you move on to Secondary school.

We will continue with our daily English, Maths and Foundation subjects but we will be adding in ‘Transition’ sessions:

For those of you working from home, we will be hosting a transition zoom meeting every Friday afternoon – parents keep an eye out as we will be emailing across the meeting ID, password and a document which outlines expectations to adhere to during the meetings. We will also be uploading a document shared with us to provide additional transition support at home.

As last time, we will also be uploading audio files of our new class book ‘Stormbreaker’ by Anthony Horowitz.

Hope you are still staying safe and healthy!

Miss Cope, Miss Caldwell and Mrs Dockerill

Half term well wishes…

What a very different half term we have had to what we would have expected, year 6. We have enjoyed seeing all the work you have been blogging, smiled at seeing so many of your faces on the zooms we have held and laughed at many of your entertaining seesaw posts!

You have worked very hard this half term – well done to yourselves: we are PROUD. Again, thank you to you – parents – for your engagement, guidance and support regarding your children’s home learning.

As we always say, take this time to read (see previous posts regarding free reading resources online) and learn a new skill to share with us after half term on the blogs/Seesaw.

We hope you have a restful, family-fuelled half term.

Stay safe and enjoy the nice weather!

Miss Cope, Miss Caldwell and Mrs Dockerill

What is the meaning of the word ‘drug’? It is any chemical that has an effect on the body. Write a list of chemicals you know/have heard of that are classed as ‘drugs’ (think back to our Jigsaw lesson where we discussed this).
