Good morning Year 6 and happy Wednesday!
Welcome to our virtual page. We would like you to join us every day to access your learning. 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 some of the extracts from The Happy News (images below) before writing begins.
Some things to think about this morning…
9:15-10:15
Writing
Welcome! Before I tell you any more about our new topic, please watch the video directly below:
Now, watch my video below, pausing it when instructed and carrying out the tasks you are set. You may also want to pause it at other points and even re-watch some sections.
In the video I mention about a hint sheet for your language formality task. If you wish to use it, here it is:
However, if you normally work with a teaching assistant at the start of the lesson and complete writing on a sheet, please go straight to that instead. (I will have sent your grown-up a Marvellous Me message to confirm this).
10:15-10:30
Enjoy a quick break.
10:30-11:30

We are directing you to the Feeling Flexible activity, which you can see below. There are instructions and a short video clip to help. However, you can choose any of the other activities if you prefer.

That sounds like a really great idea Mitchell. I think I may have to go for one this evening too. Enjoy!

Thank you Anthony.
Good afternoon
Good afternoon Lexi. How was your morning?
Hi, this is Alex’s mom, I just have a quick question for the accelerated reader, Alex has finished his over Christmas and done the quiz but we don’t have any books left in the house that he hasn’t read so I’m kinda stuck, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Rebecca
Good afternoon! Mrs Gillett is looking into different options for online reading as we realise many children will finish their AR books. In the meantime, you could use Birmingham Library as they have various ebooks available. I hope this is helpful. Take care, Mrs Bridges.
Thanks Mrs Bridges, I’ve just bought him one on the kindle for now but I shall have a look at the library.
That’s wonderful. Thank you and it is so great to see how keen Alex is to read.
maths and reading uploaded
Thank you, Mitchell.
Sent reading😁
Thanks, Lexi.
I’ve submitted the reading work.
Thanks
Sorry I’m late, I slept in. I’ll try and finish the work as fast as I can!
Gosh, that was quite a lie-in! Anyway, you’re here now and that’s what matters. Don’t rush the work though – take the time you need to understand it all well and to be learning effectively!
Do we need to submit the reading work? Fact and Opinion?
Yes, please.
good morning
Morning, Anthony!
did math
Great. Are you moving onto reading and writing now? Or have you done those as well?
ive submitted my maths.
Thanks, Summer.
Hello it’s Ava sorry I’m late was helping my mom Make some biscuits with the children she looks after.
No worries, Ava! That sounds like a lovely thing to have been doing. I am sure you will cover all your learning today.
Miss it is not letting me send my writing over
Emilia, no worries – you don’t need to submit it today as you can mark it yourself using the information I give at the end of the video. Thank you for checking, though.
im on working deeper nowwwww
The submit button for writing is there
Oh – it’s not showing at my end! No worries though as I didn’t intend them to need to send in today’s task as they can easily self-mark it. Tomorrow and Friday’s writing lessons will require work to be submitted though.
i dont get the yellow question because we dont have a grid thing to do the co-ordinates
do we need to draw it?
Yes, I would.
You could draw a simple grid yourself, or take a screenshot of some squared paper (just search on Google images).
I’ve uploaded maths
Thanks, Mason
Hi miss I am on Maths right now
Great!
Hi miss yesterday it wouldn’t let me submit my work can I submit today’s work and yesterdays work today
Yes, that would be great, thanks, Emilia
do we need to send the thing where we change the words??
No, but thanks for checking. Complete it, and then mark it yourself at the end of the lesson.
oki
u know the questions do we need to write down notes? like what do you already know about detectives? do we need to write down what we know and send u it when we answered all the questions?
Write it down, please, and keep it ready for tomorrow’s lesson, but don’t worry about sending it in. Thanks for checking though.
