Year 6 Wednesday 3rd February

Good morning Year 6 and happy Wednesday.    

Welcome to our virtual page. It is great to see you on here. Please remember to drop us a comment to show us you are online and learning. If you have any questions about your learning, please contact us via the comments below or by email (year6@hillstone.org.uk) Finally, we can’t wait to see your work, so please send it in using the buttons in each subject area below – and remember your name too, please, so we know who to send the Marvellous Me messages to!

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

From Miss Kinsman, Mrs Bridges and Mrs Gillett.

   

As this week is Children’s Mental Health Week, each day we have a different story and a video that will help you with breathing and meditation techniques if you would like to give it a go. We hope that these will be helpful and enjoyable and you will find them at the bottom of each day’s page.

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 an extract from The Happy News (image below) which I think we could all do with right now, before writing begins.

Some things to think about this morning…

9:15-10:15

Today, you will write around half of your newspaper article. The notes you made yesterday are crucial, so please have them to hand. Also, the video below turned out a little longer than I had anticipated so please reduce the writing time a little if you wish to complete the writing lesson within an hour: the video suggests 30 minutes, but you can do 25 minutes of writing instead (and cut the proofreading time by a few minutes too!)

If you usually use a sheet for writing with prompt questions on, please download the PDF below. You do not need to watch the main video above, but need to watch some of the interviews video below. However, please only use this if you usually have something like this in school AND normally work with a teaching assistant at the start of a writing lesson. If you are unsure, ask in comments, please!

There are a few options for your PE sessions, each day.

1. Follow along with Joe Wicks, on his YouTube channel here, where he will be back to doing live workouts every morning at 9am. You can catch up with these in the afternoon, or shift your day around so you start the day this way and follow along live.
2. Check out the activities on Coach’s PE From Home page here and choose one (or more!) to complete.
3. Go for some exercise outdoors, whether it’s a walk, a jog, a run or something else.
4. Choose an activity from Youth Sports Trust. You can find a list of fun activities here.

If you are able to, please take photos or videos of whichever activity you choose and upload to Twitter @hillstoneps (include your name and year group) so we can see what you are getting up to!

Children’s Mental Health Week

Find a cosy space at home, then sit back and relax whilst watching and listening to the books chosen this week, specifically for Children’s Mental Health Week.

Meditation can be a really lovely way to help you stay or become calm and relaxed.
