Year 6 Monday 25th January 2021

Good morning Year 6 and happy Monday.    

Welcome to our virtual page. As we are all living under the restrictions of a national lockdown, 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 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.

 

Since recording this, there is now an update from school: All children must still join in with our fabulous writing, maths and reading lessons and we are still here to answer your comments and on hand to help with any problems. When you have finished these lessons – and if you are able to – you may wish to go and play in the snow. Please do upload any photos of your snow adventures to Twitter so we can see how much fun you’re all having.

Have the loveliest day! Mrs Bridges, Miss Kinsman 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 an extract from The Happy News (image below) which I think we could all do with right now, before writing begins.

An interesting fact to start your day:

9:15-10:15

Writing

Thank you for all the writing sent in last Thursday; here’s some feedback for you:

Today’s video is below. As well as a big pause at the end for your main task, do remember to pause the video when instructed for the mini tasks too. And, as always, please do use the comments section below for any questions you may have. The other resources you need for the lesson are underneath the video.

Here are the resources referred to in the video:

Model textClick here.
Mysterious imagesClick here.

If you usually use work with a teaching assistant at the start of a writing lesson, and use a sheet for writing with prompt questions on, here is today’s task. You will also need to download the images PDF. I would suggest watching just the final four minutes of the video.

Maths

Warm up: Countdown. Click here for website and play three game or for 10 minutes.

For yesterday’s answers click here.

Feedback from yesterday: You are all really understanding this; well done. Please just be careful with fractions like 1/8 or ones that have a recurring number, like 2/6, as sometimes you are forgetting to work these out using division.

Watch the lesson above, pausing at the appropriate times to complete any questions.

Now click here for your question sheet. Remember you can re-watch parts of the video to help you answer the questions.

Click here for the pink questions only if you are finding the work tricky.

Reading

Feedback from Thursday: I am pleased to see lots of you continuing to use the text really well when finding answers to questions.

A top tip for questions that ask what a word means: once you have thought of your answer, try replacing the word in the sentence with your word and see if it sounds right. If it doesn’t, try a different word.  

Watch the video below for today’s lesson.

Pause and re-watch the video any time you need to. Any resources you need for the lesson will be underneath the video. Please remember to place you name on any work you submit, and if you need any help at all, please ask in the comments section.

        1. Skye, all you need to do is planning ready for tomorrow’s writing.
