Year 6 Tuesday 2nd February 2021

Good morning Year 6 and happy Tuesday.    

Welcome to our virtual page. It is great to see you on here. Please remember to drop us a comment to show us you are online and learning. If you have any questions about your learning, please contact us via the comments below or by email (year6@hillstone.org.uk) Finally, we can’t wait to see your work, so please send it in using the buttons in each subject area below – and remember your name too, please, so we know who to send the Marvellous Me messages to!

We hope you enjoy today’s lessons.  Please stay safe.  

From Miss Kinsman, Mrs Bridges and Mrs Gillett.

As this week is Children’s Mental Health Week, each day we have a different story and a video that will help you with breathing and meditation techniques if you would like to give it a go. We hope that these will be helpful and enjoyable and you will find them at the bottom of each day’s page.

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.

What a cute surname!

9:15-10:15

Writing

Thank you for all the questions sent in yesterday. As you will see, many of them made it into the interviews conducted yesterday evening.

In today’s lesson, you are gathering all the content you need for your newspaper article and starting to plan it too. Start with the first video below, but do pause it when asked and switch onto the second video. You will then need to return to the first video when you have finished using the second one!

If you usually use a sheet for writing with prompt questions on, please download the PDF below. However, please only use this if you usually have something like this in school AND normally work with a teaching assistant at the start of a writing lesson. If you are unsure, ask in comments, please!

There are a few options for your PE sessions, each day.

  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!

Find a cosy space at home, then sit back and relax whilst watching and listening to the story below, chosen specifically for Children’s Mental Health Week.

    1. Welcome!

      Please watch the welcome video and visit the resources mentioned in it. We also have a lesson, tomorrow, focusing on mental health so if you prefer to wait until then to find out more, that’s fine!

      As for the videos at the base of today’s page, please do watch the story. But whether you watch, and do, the guided meditation is up to you!

    1. I do, indeed! Check out the calendar section on the school website for full details of this break and future ones. However, I’ll tell you too: we are off school from Monday 15th February to Friday 19th February.

    1. All the information you need about what to write and how much to write is in the videos! Today, you need to make detailed notes from the interview videos and then annotate them. This is all clearly explained in the main writing video, so please do ensure you watch this video (and future ones) carefully and fully!
