Year 6 Monday 8th February 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.  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 reading an extract from The Happy News (image below) which I think we could all do with right now, before writing begins.

9:15-10:15

Thank you for all the writing sent in last week. I was so impressed at your use of colons and semi-colons, and how your newspaper articles had the right style and feel about them.

Please watch the video below for today’s lesson and submit a photo of your notes afterwards. As always, you can always ask for help during the lesson via the comments section below or by sending us an email. However, I hope that the video makes things nice and clear for you!

Below are the two PDF documents to which I refer in the video.

If you usually work with a teaching assistant at the start of a lesson AND use a sheet with questions on for writing, then your task is below. If you are unsure if you ought to be using it, then please ask.

Task 1: download the map of world . Use an atlas, globe or the internet to help you find the flags of 15 countries. Then draw the flag where the country is. Look at the example below.

If you want to add more to your map, throughout the week, that’s great just send me what you have done with a note saying not finished yet. Then send it when it is completed.

Good luck detectives!

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!
