Year 6 Wednesday 25th November

Good morning Year 6 and welcome to Wednesday’s lessons.    

Welcome to our virtual page. We would like you to log in every day to access your learning.  As we are all isolating, we will maintain a routine which is as close as possible to a normal school day.  New lessons will be uploaded every day and we are all available in the comments section should you require any support. 

We hope you enjoy today’s lessons.  Please stay safe.

From Miss Kinsman, Mrs Bridges and Mrs Gillett.

Today’s timetable.

9:00-9:15

Good morning. Please say hello in the comments section below so we can mark you in on our registers. Settle in to the day by reading some of the extracts from The Happy News (images below) before writing begins.

Writing

Welcome to Wednesday’s writing lesson. Firstly, here’s some quick feedback from yesterday’s learning:

In today’s lesson, we will continue with our Banquo’s ghost narratives. When you are watching the video below, pause it whenever you are asked to so you can carry out the task I’ve set. However, please feel free to pause and re-watch as needed. If you need any help along the way, please just contact me via the comments section below. I can’t wait to read what you have written so please do send in a photo of your work – including your name too, please!

If you normally have a colourful sheet with questions and prompts on for writing, here’s yours for today:

Reading

I have loved looking at your reading work. You have thought about the themes and explained them so well. Keep working on those detailed explanations, referring back to the text.

Watch the video for today’s reading lesson. Remember you can pause and re-watch as much as you need to. If you have any questions, then just ask me in the comments section and I will do my best to help you.

Miss Hodgkinson’s group: Complete the comprehension below and then read one of the books you were provided with on Friday, or click on the link below to choose a different text (make sure you select the correct colour!).

Hillstone Life Skills

The first thing we could like you to consider is this:

Why not tell us your thoughts on this in the comment section?

Now, think about the following:

  1. What might a personal barrier to your own learning?
  2. Is the barrier related to a specific subject?
  3. What strategies have you tried to overcome it?
  4. Why do you think it’s a barrier?
  5. What other strategies could you try?

There are two types of barriers: external and internal.

Internal barriers are things that are happening within you. For example, not asking for help when you need it. External barriers are things that are happening around you, or in the environment you’re in, that you can’t necessarily control. For example, other children talking loudly.

We would like you to think about and choose a barrier to your learning. This should be something that you think can sometimes stop you for achieving what you’re fully capable of, or stop you from achieving full stop. Once you have chosen one, think about ways you may be able to overcome this, if you tried different strategies.

Now, using the model below to give you an idea of how to start, create a comic strip illustrating this. There is an image below of some apps that you may find useful for this activity.

Find a cosy space at home, then sit back and relax whilst listening to Miss Kinsman read the first half of a retelling of Twelfth Night.

    1. For the green questions, are you drawing the bars out? So for 4 and 1/3, you will need to draw 5 bars, each split into thirds. Then you need to put dots in all 3 sections of 4 of them, as you have 4 wholes. In the 5th bar, you just need to put a dot in one of the sections as you only have 1 out of the 3. Then you are taking away 2 and 2/3 so you can put a line through 2 of the full bars as you don’t have them any more and the put a cross in 2 other sections that have a dot in and you should have 1 and 2/3 left. You can use that same method for the other questions.

      I hope that helps, but if that isn’t clear and watching the video again doesn’t help, then please don’t worry about it tonight. Leave it there and try tomorrow’s lesson.

  4. Is there an Easier way yo to this type of math questions or are there only the ways you have shown us? Hope your all well and ok

    From Katelyn 🙂 🌈 (^_^)

    1. The strategies that Miss Kinsman uses to solve the problems are the best ones to use. Don’t worry about these now though. If you haven’t done so already, why not find a nice cosy space to sit and relax and listen to the retelling of Twelfth Night by Miss Kinsman – it’s her favourite Shakespeare play!

  5. I’m really stuck on maths and I can’t understand please try and help me if you can hope your all well and safe.

    From Katelyn 😭🌈 (^_^)

    1. Which bit are you stuck on? Please don’t worry though, as even if you don’t quite understand it yet, we will be able to provide you with more help when we are back at school and remember to only spend half an hour on the maths questions as it’s important that you take breaks and do the other areas of the curriculum too 🙂

        1. I have spoken with Mrs Gillett and she has tried and the new username and password that she has sent across definitely work. You won’t be able to access AR quizzes after 3:30 though, so try again tomorrow morning and let us know how you get on.

    1. These are more for you, as a way to recognise and help overcome any barriers to learning that you have, but if you would like to share it, you can submit it via the button under today’s reading section.

    1. That’s great to hear Mitchell. It’s meant to be challenging (and if you found everything straightforward, you wouldn’t be learning anything), so it’s good to hear you persevered with it. You are doing a great job.

  17. The math video has stopped working please help me with this problem if you can . I’m still working hard not giving up.

    From Katelyn 🙂 🌈 (^_^)

    1. I’m sorry to hear that Katelyn. It is working for me, so I am not sure what has happened. Could you try refreshing the page and starting the video again?

  18. good afternoon. I can’t do my AR quiz because my login and password isn’t working so i cant do my quiz and i have finished my book and also read 2 other books from home .Anyways i’m going to do hillstone life skills now speak to u letter.

    1. Good afternoon Tabitha. I know Miss Kinsman and Mrs Gillett are both looking into this for you so someone will get back to you as soon as we are able to with more information. It’s wonderful to hear that you are reading so much though and I would certainly continue doing this – you can catch up on the AR quizzes when we sort out the issue that you’re having. Enjoy your afternoon!

      2. Hi Tabitha,
        I’ve checked your account and it is working fine from my end. In case you’re unsure of your login details, I have sent them to you via Marvellous Me. If you can’t access that, let me know and I can sort a different way of getting them to you.
        Thanks,
        Mrs Gillett

        1. What do you find most challenging when it comes to learning (and this could be any subject in school, or anything that you do outside of school)?

          1. mom says i don’t like trying new things for example food i’ve never had before. she’s says i’m fussy but other than that i’m not sure

          2. Ok, that’s a great one to think about. So now you’ve identified a barrier, what do you usually do when it comes to trying new things? How do you get over the fear or just not wanting to do it? Do you seek encouragement from others, do you ask someone to try it first or try it with you or do you try and work it through yourself?

          4. You’re welcome Alex. You can upload it via the button underneath the reading section. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon and thank you for persevering with this lesson!

    2. That would be great Dan, and I know Miss Kinsman would love to see a photo too! You could send it via Twitter, or if you’d prefer, upload it via the button under the reading section and I will see it that way.

    1. Well done Katelyn! I know how hard you’ve been working on those – it’s great to see it paying off. I am, thank you. I hope you are too. Stay safe.

    1. Thanks Lara. Which work is it and did you click on the button under maths, reading or writing? Finally, does it have your name on it? Thanks for trying hard to get your work to us.

    1. Hi Lara. That’s great, thank you. Underneath the maths section is a button that says ‘submit work here’. If you take a photo of your work, you can then click on that button and upload it and Miss Kinsman will see it. She will send a Marvellous Me later today to everyone who submits their maths work.

    1. Hi. Miss Kinsman and Mrs Gillett have seen his writing and maths work and have sent a Marvellous Me message to say thank you. They offer feedback at the start of the lesson, either via an audio clip or a statement just above the video. I haven’t seen any reading work. If you haven’t downloaded the Marvellous Me app, I would highly recommend it. I know Mr King has all the login details if you don’t have these. Thank you for your continued support with Kian’s home learning.

      1. He’s definitely sent all subjects over for the past 3 days, though some may not have his name on. I’ve received the MarvellousMe notifications, so thank you for those. Let me know what’s missing and I’ll get him to resend them over . Thanks again.

        1. Just the reading is missing, so if he could send them again with his name on that would be great. If he could make sure his name is on all future work that would be really helpful. Thank you.
