Year 6 Tuesday 24th November

Good morning Year 6 and happy Tuesday.    

Welcome to our virtual page. We would like you to log in every day to access your learning.  As we are all isolating, 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 all 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.

I hope that you enjoy reading today’s Happy News!

Writing

Here is some feedback from the work received yesterday:

Welcome to Tuesday’s writing. Make sure you have something to make notes on before you begin watching the video below, and if you used the second video yesterday then use the second one today. However, most of you will be on the first one. I will direct you to pause the video at certain points, so please do so then, but also pause (and re-watch) it as needed.

I am really looking forward to reading the work you submit – but do remember to pop your name on it (and if you can include it in the file name, even better!).

If you usually use a writing prompt in lessons, here’s one for today:

Enjoy a quick break.

Maths

Warm up: HIT THE BUTTON. Click here.

Play square numbers. Let me know your score in the comments. Good luck.

Feedback from yesterday: Thank you all for completing the work yesterday.  I think it was the red question that was giving you all the biggest trouble.  To answer the question you needed to find a factor of 20 ( so: 2, 4, 5, or 10) and then trial and error.  DO NOT worry about it.  The main objective yesterday was to add numbers by making the denominator the same and you could all do that.  

For yesterday’s answers click here.

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.

Grab a piece of fruit and a drink and let’s watch Newsround together.

Reading

Feedback from yesterday: Thank you for sending me your work yesterday. I really enjoyed looking at your text choices and reading your thoughts about them. The themes that you had identified for your chosen text were accurate and varied. Moving forwards, I would like to see more detailed explanations as to why you had chosen that theme. I can’t wait to see your work again today!

Watch the video below for today’s lesson.

Pause the video each time you are asked to complete a task and let me know how you are getting on in the comments section below. At the end of the video, you will have a longer task to complete, which you can then send to me for some feedback.

Miss Hodgkinson’s group: Complete the comprehension below and then read one of the books you were provided with on Friday, or click on the link below to choose a different text (make sure you select the correct colour!).

        1. It’s up to you, Lexi. Personally, I would hold onto it as it’s lovely to look back on your own learning, but if you have a photo of it, maybe you are happy to just keep that.

    1. Good question, Corey! The second one is for children who weren’t up to speed with the story of Macbeth, and so they are catching up and today they are starting their Banquo’s ghost narrative (which most children started writing last Thursday in school). From tomorrow, it’ll be just one writing video a day as we’ll all be working on the same thing.

    1. Take a photo of it using a phone or iPad, then with the same device click on the button (below the writing videos) that says ‘Submit your writing here’.
      Try that, but do let me know if you’re still stuck as obviously I would love to read what you have written!

    2. Hi Brogan. Can you see the button that says submit your work? If you have access to an iPad or phone, you could take a photo or screenshot of your work and then when you click on that button it will let you upload it. You will have to click on that and then select the photo. I hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.

    1. Is this for writing, Leoni? If so, remember the planning notes you worked on yesterday? Today, we are completing the piece of writing which we planned for, and which you wrote the opening paragraph for yesterday. In the video, I do some shared writing and talk through what I am doing. Here’s what I included in the shared writing:
      Unsurprisingly, the play focuses on Macbeth. However, his wife – who is a ruthless and highly ambitious character – is also a crucial character. At the start of the play, Macbeth meets a trio of witches, who make several prophecies about his future. One of these is that he will become king! These predictions are the catalyst for the rest of the play….and for all the death and murder!
      And I remind everyone to use modal language (verbs such as would, could, should, ought, will and adverbials such as definitely, without a doubt) in their writing as well as relative clauses. Obviously, it’s easier if you watch the video, but hopefully what I’ve written here will help. And do reply back if I can be of any more help.

    1. Morning, Katelyn. Lovely to hear from you and don’t worry about not having commented straight away. All good here, thanks. Hope you and your family are well and safe too.

    2. Tabitha, Miss Kinsman said you had a problem with your Accelerated Reader quizzing yesterday. Could you let me know the name and quiz number of your book so I can look into this issue further, please? Thanks

    1. That’s strange, Jack – and annoying for you, I know! We had children uploading several different pieces of work onto the cloud yesterday.
      Could you try again, please? Or could you just send one file with the whole piece of writing in, please, once you’ve finished? I would love to read the whole piece in one go if possible!

      1. Mr Carter has been in touch and he has explained that, “if they upload a piece of work it will not allow anymore during that session; however, if they refresh, they can then upload another and so forth.” Hope that helps.

    1. What ever you feel most comfortable in!
      When you get to the maths later, just watch up to the pink sheet and then only complete that. You may need to re-watch the video a few times.

    1. Under each of the writing, reading and maths sections there is a button that you can click on to upload your work. Please make sure your name is on it as that would really help us.
