Year 6 Thursday 25th February 2021

Good morning Year 6 and happy Thursday.    

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 one of my favourite books, and taking some time to think about it.

Writing

Thank you for all your ideas about how language is used for effect in The Highwayman. I have put together some more detailed feedback for you in the audio file below:

Today, we are starting to think about how we can use language for effect in our writing. The video below guides you through the whole lesson; please ensure you pause it when asked to and spend sufficient time on the final task. I am looking forward to seeing all your ideas so please do remember to send them in!

If you usually use a sheet for writing with prompt questions on, today’s is below along with the YouTube animation of The Highwayman.
