It’s Friday, Year 6!!

The half term holidays are very nearly upon us Year 6! Congratulations on all of your hard work this half term – and a massive well done to your parents and carers at home for all of their support and enthusiasm too!

 

Our plan after half term is to do two more weeks to finish off WORLD WAR 2 before we start our next topic – TREASURE ISLAND! We can’t wait for our final two weeks learning about World War 2 – we are planning on organising a special VE DAY Zoom celebration on Tuesday 23rd February as part of this (see document at the top of this page!

 

Keep your eyes on the Year 6 website page this evening and during half term for more details about this…

 

Before we start, let’s look back at some of your amazing work from this week!

Assembly

As a special treat, our final Assembly of the half term features some of Year 3’s exciting learning about THE RAINFORESTS of the Earth! Sit back, relax and enjoy listening to the assembly, which is available on our school website and Youtube channel (Learn it with Mapledene). Keep an eye out for shooting stars, and also Year 6 Merit winners!

English

Our English work today is a chance to bring together all of the wonderful learning that you have completed this week on D-Day! We would like you to write a D-Day action scene, using present tense verbs, and in the first person. We want you to imagine that you are disembarking the boats onto one of the Normandy beaches, with your fellow soldiers around you, about to enter “The Jaws of Death” (see yesterday’s work for the planning sheet).

 

Use the two video clips below, and all of your knowledge this week, to write a thrilling, action-packed couple of paragraphs about your experience…

Warm-up

It's the last day of the half-term everyone so have a really good try to get on Doodle Tables and get into the Green Zone before the end of the day. Those of you who are already there, I have found another funky 9 Times Table Song to help you learn. You will need to click on the link on the video that says 'Watch on Youtube'.

Main Learning

Today we are going to look at Line Graphs. You will have come across them before in science and maths and they really aren't as complicated as they look. The link below will take you to a fantastic lesson that introduces line graphs from the beginning and makes it very clear and understandable. There are then 2 worksheets (included in the activity and linked below) for you to have a go at. The answers are also linked below. Take it slowly and listen to all the help - I know you can do this!

Art

In today’s Art lesson, you have some time to finish off designing and creating your D-Day model that was started yesterday! We are so excited to see what you make, build or draw for this mini-project. Remember, you can complete this task as creatively as you would like – using Lego, a shoebox, plastic action figures or arts and crafts to showcase this dramatic part of World War 2. There are some ideas on what your project could look like on the document below. Good luck everyone... and remember to send over your finished creations!

  • D Day.docx

Reward Time!

YOU’VE MADE IT TO HALF TERM EVERYONE! Well done on all of your hard work this half term – we have been really proud of so many of you that have been working very hard! It’s time to enjoy yourself for our REWARD TIME slot this afternoon – unless of course you’ve managed to pick up some behaviour points at home!

 

You will also be delighted to know that there is no half term homework, as we think you all deserve a rest! Doodle will be available as always for those of you who want to keep your skills sharp.

 

So, get outside, enjoy spending some time with your family, and rest up – we can’t wait to finish off our World War 2 project with you (and enjoy a Year 6 VE DAY!!) when we come back to home learning on Monday 22nd February!

It’s Thursday everyone!

Only TWO more school days to go before half term, and a well-deserved rest Year 6! We have got a host of exciting activities over the next couple of days – you even get the chance to take some REWARD TIME for yourself tomorrow (as long as there have been no behaviour points at home!!)

 

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Zoom today at 2.00pm. We are excited about sharing some of the fabulous work from this week, and catching up with you all ahead of the half term holidays.

 

Here is the plan for our learning journey today…

 

Reading

In our final Reading lesson of the half term, we would like you to carefully go through the text about former USA President, Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was the President of the USA at a critical time during World War 2, and the text below details his actions and commands at D-Day! Read through the text and answer the ONE question you have to complete today. It is a three marker though, so write in full sentences and use EVIDENCE from the text t support your points…

  • Eisenhower text and question.docx
  • Eisenhower text and question.pdf

English

We are VERY excited about seeing your action scene writing about D-day tomorrow, and today’s English lesson should help you to plan for the work you will be doing. We would like you to watch the video clip and look at the D-day information PowerPoint which can be clicked on below. Use these documents to write about your senses and feelings on the “Into the Jaws of Death” sheet below. Try to place yourself at the scene… what would be going on all around you?

  • D Day background information PP.pptx
  • D-day Landing Senses sheet.pdf

Mr B and Mr C Maths

We have been very impressed with your excellent understanding of Line Graphs over the past two days – it has been heart-warming to see how many of you have worked so hard on these mathematical problems, having listened to the instructions on our Zoom meeting on Tuesday.

 

Today’s lesson is on PIE CHARTS. Watch the video clip of Mr Barber solving one of the problems before having a go yourself. Remember to show a Growth Mindset, and think carefully about what the pie is showing you each time, as we talked about on Zoom on Tuesday…

 

The starter task is to have a go at your Added Extras on Doodle, using some of the knowledge that you have built up about different types of chart and graph this week!

Warm-up

Today's video is a mash up of lots of my favourite songs that I used to dance to at parties! It will also help you to learn your 9 Times Table!

Nine Times Table Song (90's Song Mashup)

Mr. DeMaio and friends sing the 9x table song over some of the biggest hits from the 90's. Learn your nine times multiplication facts while jamming out to so...

Main Learning

 

Today we are going to return to some slightly trickier bar graphs. The video below will really help you to understand the different types of questions that you might be asked so PLEASE watch it! Then answer the questions in your pack or linked below. Your first job will be to write down the names of each bar using the information in the table. Finally, check your answers with the end of the video.

In our final two days of the half term, we have an artwork project which should be great fun! As discussed on Zoom on Tuesday, we would like you to design and create your own D-day model!

 

This can be done as creatively as you like – using Lego, a shoebox, plastic action figures or just arts and crafts to showcase this dramatic part of World War 2. Take a look at the D-day video, and the pictures in the document below for inspiration – we can’t wait to see what you all design at home!

Zoom

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Zoom at 2.00pm today! We are looking forward to sharing some learning from the week and catching up with everyone. Wear something you don’t mind getting active in - you might be sent to go and find a few items…

That’s the end of the penultimate (use a thesaurus) day of half term everyone! Have a relaxing evening!

Welcome to Wednesday, Year 6!

It was so lovely to see so many of you on the Year 6 Zoom call yesterday, and we hope you found the teaching input useful for the activities this week! We can’t wait to see more of your fabulous work – so keep sending it through to school for a chance to earn more marvellous Merits!

 

If you require a work pack this week, please contact our school office on 0121 464 2881 to arrange a collection time – work packs are available for anyone in Year 6 who requires them!

We are continuing our fascinating work on Mulberry Harbours this morning! After a wonderful discussion on these great feats of engineering yesterday on Zoom, we would like you to answer some comprehension questions on them today! Make sure you remember to look for the key words and phrases in the questions and in the text – this will help you to find the correct answers…

  • Mulberry Harbours.docx
  • Mulberry Harbours Questions.docx

English

Our English work today is all about ACTIVE and PASSIVE sentences! We spoke about these two different sentence types on our Zoom call yesterday – the ‘Tuesday Zoom Powerpoint’ at the top of the page could be a useful reminder of some examples!

 

Remember, in an ACTIVE sentence, the noun which is acting comes before the verb:

Mr Barber played football outside.

 

Whereas in a PASSIVE sentence, the noun which is acting comes after the verb:

Football was played outside by Mr Barber

 

Have a go at some of the practise questions involving active and passive sentences!

Mr B and Mr C Maths

We’ve a couple more Line Graphs questions to do today before we move on to pie charts tomorrow! Some of you completed the work on this expertly yesterday – keep applying those same skills to our learning today! The extension task is a little trickier, so try to show a Growth Mindset, and pick off the easy questions first. Try the starter game first, then move on to the Line Graph questions…

Today we are going to return to pictograms but the questions are going to be a little trickier. Don't panic - I know you can do it! Make sure you watch the video as all the support and learning you will need are there! Again, the questions and answers are at the end of the video.

Now, click on this link to learn the song. Start by revising the chorus from last week and then move to the bridge section.

  • Link 2...

This week we are going to repeat the activity from last week with a different piece of music. Are the shapes and colours in your mind similar or different to your art work last week?

Mystery Music for Wednesday...

Hymn to the Fallen was written in 1998 by the film composer John Williams for the film ‘Saving Private Ryan’. The film is dramatic and powerful portrayal of the Normandy Invasion on June 6th, 1944. Whilst the film is very violent, and not appropriate for us to watch, the music that closes the move ‘Hymn to the Fallen’ is quiet and reflective. As the Director, Steven Spielberg, said, it will "stand the test of time and honour forever the fallen of this war and possibly all wars".

PSHE

In PSHE today, you will explore the reasons why people borrow and what you need to consider when deciding to borrow money and how this can impact a person's wellbeing.  Attached are discussion cards and also the storyboard referenced in the PowerPoint.

 

Have a look through the PowerPoint and discuss the picture cards – which situations could be planned expenditure and which could be an unexpected cost?

 

Then, use the storyboard to create a story around one of your picture cards using the vocabulary from today’s lesson!

Only TWO days to go before half term everyone – keep smiling, you’re doing a magnificent job!

Good morning Year 6!

Well done to everyone who has been sending their work across to Mr Collett and Mr Barber – we were really impressed with what we saw yesterday! Some children are collecting Merits at an incredible pace, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by Miss Stephenson. As ever, we hope to see as many of you as possible at our Zoom meeting at 10.00 this morning, where Mr Barber will be going through some of the work for this week!

 

If you require a work pack this week, please contact our school office on 0121 464 2881 to arrange a collection time – work packs are available for anyone in Year 6 who requires them!

Therefore, we would like you to have a go at the present tense practise questions seen below, so that you have a good idea of the type of language to use in your writing task later in the week! The answers are attached at the bottom of the document, so that you can check your own work at the end with an adult - NO CHEATING though!!
