Year 6 Wednesday 2nd December

Good morning Year 6 and happy Wednesday.    

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.

Hillstone Life Skills

The first thing we could like you to consider is this: What do we mean when we say learning?

There are roughly 150,000km (or more) of neural networks in the human brain and 150,000km is similar to travelling approximately four times round the Earth!

Look at the image above and think about the following questions:

How do you think these images reflect learning?

Do you think this is an effective way of reflecting learning? Why/why not?

Is there anything you would add to it?

Now, your task is to create a way of illustrating and explaining learning to a younger child.

Have a think about how you could do this and what you could create.

Some ideas: a poster, a picture, an iMovie, a comic strip, a story, a poem, a rap, drama.

14:35-15:20

15:20-15:35

Find a cosy space at home, then sit back and relax whilst listening to Miss Kinsman read the second half of a retelling of The Tempest.

  2. I don’t understand how you got 25 when you were explaining. I got 4 for the question you did I got it correct. I did the same thing on the question 5/6 of 30 and got it wrong. My answer was 1 I don’t under stand how you got 25. Please help me when you can.

        1. So you should’ve drawn a bar with six sections/part (the denominator). This is divided by the whole which is 30.
          30 divided by 6 = 5.
          Each section is worth 5.
          You want 5 of those sections (the numerator).
          5 x 5 =25

          Hope that makes it clear.

    1. Have you spent the suggested amount of time on each task and completed all tasks? For instance, remember that the writing task should take about 25 minutes and you ought to be writing a few quality paragraphs in that time.
      Did you start your lessons particularly early?

  12. When I was about to start my writing lesson I thought I would check my math answers I got all of the green correct but not the rest but on the going deeper answer it said something about someone called Eva but in the actual question there was no Eva in the question. Please help me with this question if you can.

  15. Can’t wait to be back at school tomorrow. Sorry I’m late I logged on at 9.15 I just forgot to say hi and I had to do myself some breakfast 🥞 and eat it. Hope your all well and safe.

    From Katelyn 🙂 🌈 (^_^)

    1. Me neither, Katelyn! No problem at all about the logging in and saying hi. I know you will complete all your learning and that’s what matters.
      All good here, thanks. Hope you and your family are well and safe too.

    1. Lexi, I have just tried the website on my laptop, iPad and phone and it’s working fine. Check you internet connection. If not, turn your device off and on again.
      Let me know how you get on.
