Year 6 Wednesday 20th January 2021

Good morning Year 6 and happy Wednesday.    

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.  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.

Have a look at the charity below. The Happy News includes different charities, that might not otherwise be publicised widely, in each article. They are lovely to read about and very inspiring.

9:15-10:15

Thank you for all the sentences sent in yesterday; here’s some feedback for you:

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!

    1. Strange. No-one else has mentioned it.
      I have just looked at it in my laptop and phone and was ok. I had to zoom in to see it. I clicked on the the name of the text rather than the download button.
      See if that helps.

    2. So you are dividing by a third. Can you remember how to do that from the film clip?

      When you find out how much he has ran you need to take that away from 6km to see what he has left to do.

    1. Is it within your writing? Check either side of the semi colon makes sense on it’s own. Then check they are about the same thing.
      Don’t worry though, Summer, Mrs Gillett will read through your work when you submit it.
      Remember, this is a new skill so you wont get it perfect all the time.

    1. Thanks, Corey. The question asks which shop has the better deal – in other words, for the customer, which is the best shop? And the best shop is the one with the cheapest clay (as we are assuming they are selling the same quality of clay!)

    1. Yes, partway through the writing lesson, you are asked to pause the video and make notes about your chosen picture. Remember, choose one of the four images, rather than the one I demonstrate with. Later in the lesson you have a paragraph to write as well.

    1. Good morning Maisie.
      Did your mom get the message about tutoring?
      We are hoping you can still do it on a Monday at home online from 3.35 – 4.35.
      You need access to your iPad and an adult present in the room.
      Let me know.

      1. Hi Miss, my mom has checked and she hasn’t had any message about the tutoring. Could the message be resent please. My mom said I should be able to do it.

    1. Good morning Mason. Sorry about the wordsearch on Monday. I only realised myself when I was doing it with the children in school and we couldn’t find it either. I hope you didn’t spend too long looking.
