Year 6 Friday 8th January 2021

Good morning Year 6 and happy Friday! 

We would like you to join us every day to access your learning. 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.

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.

Some things to think about this morning…

9:15-10:15

Writing

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

Watch the video below, please, pausing when asked – and there are time guidelines given so you have an idea of roughly how long to spend on each task. Please do contact us via comments if you need any further help.

If you usually work with a teaching assistant at the start of the lesson and write on a scaffolded sheet, here is your task for today:

Enjoy a quick break.

Maths

Warm up: play Alien Attack all four quadrants. Click here for the website.

For yesterday’s answers click here.

Feedback from yesterday: I know some of you found yesterday’s work a little tricky; don’t panic. Using a ruler or something straight, like I did in the video, will help you. The most important thing is that you remember that when reading or plotting a co-ordinate you read across and then up/down.

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.

      There is nothing my end that is restricting it.
      Have you tried refreshing and or reloading the page.

    2. Is it the documents Mason? I was able to download both from the link and the download button.
      I’ve checked to see if there is any restriction on that page and I can’t find it.
      Maybe try refreshing the page.

  22. Mis kingsman I want to a lake yesterday and the only parts that weren’t frozen was were the birds were. Maybe they peaked through it. They must have got cold feathers from sitting in the frozen lake water😂.
