Year 6 Monday 11th January 2021

Good morning Year 6 and happy Monday!   

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

Something inspiring to start our Monday off!

Writing

Thank you for all the writing you sent in on Friday. It is great to see many of you really getting to grips with writing in a more formal manner. I bet some of you are getting lots of Marvellous Me badges at the moment, aren’t you?

Watch today’s video for your learning, but please do contact us via comments if you need any help or guidance along the way.

Here are the comma questions you need to answer when asked to do so in my video.

If you normally work with a teaching assistant at the start of a writing lesson, then watch my first video, but starting at 12:48. Please answer the questions that are in the video (about Pigeon Impossible) and send in a photo of your answers.

  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.

      1. Hi Faith,

        There was a problem with the link to today’s page, but you should be able to see it now. You may need to refresh your browser to do so.

        Thanks,

        Mrs Gillett

    1. For the second task, you are analysing a potential footprint, by looking at the sole of a shoe. So, first choose a shoe, any shoe in the house is fine. Then jot down the following:
      1. How long is it?
      2. How wide is it?
      If you don’t have a ruler accessible, then don’t worry too much about this – just record the size of the shoe.

      3. Does it have any patterns, lines, logos or anything else on the sole (what else can you say about this)? Has it been worn down in any places? Anything else that you think is note-worthy.

      I hope that helps.

    1. Ah, Alex don’t worry – they are quite tricky questions! Is there anything you would like some specific help with? It sounds like you both deserve a good lunch break! 🙂

    1. Good morning Daniel!

      That has really made me smile, thank you for the joke! Love it and found it very amusing 🙂

      The other Mrs Bridges laughed too!

      1. Miss Gilet, I sent the Quiz sheet but when I tried to watch the video of the Pigeon Impossible I said unstable connection so I couldn’t do it

        1. Thanks for the quiz sheet, Lexi.

          You do need to watch the video – and will enjoy it, I’m sure! Can you try searching directly on YouTube for it? Or do you have another device you could use to access it?
