Year 6 Monday 22nd February 2021

Good morning Year 6 and welcome back. We hope you had a good half-term. 

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.  Do send us in photos of your work using the buttons on this page, and remembering to include your name! And, 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 having a look at an extract from one of my favourite books, and thinking about what this means.

9:15-10:15

Writing

Today’s video is below. It includes a couple of short tasks towards the beginning (with suggested timings) and a longer one later on (which is the one I would love to see your work from). It is essential you watch the whole video, and even though it’s a longer one, you should have time to complete everything within your one hour lesson!

Here is a copy of The Highwayman:

    1. That’s great to hear Huma. I am sure you will do a wonderful job and I am really pleased to hear that you think you’re going to enjoy algebra – I think you will too 🙂 It is one of my favourite topics in maths.

    1. You can easily check for yourself, Corey, when you summarise each one (or each small group of stanzas)! The poem is available both on the teaching video and in a PDF just below it.
