Hi year 6! Here are your learning activities for today. Remember to go onto TT Rock Stars and Corbett Maths to develop your arithmetic skills. https://corbettmathsprimary.com/5-a-day/
A big thank you to all of you who have gone on TT Rocks Stars yesterday. I really do appreciate it and I am very proud of you. Well done to MG, LD, PM, SB and DA. Keep going!
Please make sure that you take a photo of any work that you have done and email it the school office and they will email it to me. I cannot wait to hear from you. I am missing you so much. Mrs Tyler
PE
Choose a session from the PE folder and carry out a physical activity. If the weather is nice try and get some fresh air and do some physical exercise outside whilst it is still sunny.
Spelling Wednesday 22nd 2020
I can put my year 5 and year 6 tricky words into a sentence.
Value: perseverance
Have a go at using the Look, Cover, Write and Check method of spelling the following words underneath. Write down the words that you have learnt in a sentence. Remember that you need to be able to spell these words by the end of year 6.
For example: Because Sam had completed an excellent piece of work, his teacher was extremely happy.
exaggerate, excellent, existence, explanation, familiar
Writing
Wednesday 22nd April 2020
I can write a poem based on a poem
Value: perseverance
If you have not completed the writing task from yesterday please read activity writing 1 which is outlined below.I would like you to read activity card 1. You are going to have a go at writing a poem based on poem called 'The Magic Box' by Kit Wright. You can either read the poem or watch the poem on the you tube clip that I have provided. In the poem, Kit imagines what may be contained inside a magical box. We can use this idea to connect to what could be behind the magical door. Before you begin, brainstorm a list of idea for what might be behind the door. Let your imagination run wild as there is no wrong answer. Remember you can use your ideas from yesterday in your poem. Once you have your list, have a go at writing a poem, using the repeated opener: I opened the magical door and saw.....
Here's an example to help you get going:
I opened the magical door and saw shadows dancing.
I opened the magical door and saw a rainbow leading to another world.
I opened the magical door and saw people crying.
I opened the magical door and saw a magical fairground flooded in lights.
Today, you are now going to have a go and see if you can add more detail and information to your initial ideas. For example yesterday I wrote:
I opened the magical door and saw shadows dancing.
I can now improve my initial idea by adding in more detail explaining what the shadows are doing
for example:
I opened the magical door and saw a shoal of hungry shadows, tangoing through busy streets.
Read the writing activity card 2 to see the poem that another teacher wrote with bis year 6 class to help give you some ideas. Remember to email your poems in.
Reading

I can develop my inference skills
Value: Optimism
Have a go at answering the comprehension questions based on the poem 'The April Joke.' These questions are helping you to develop your inference skills so that you will have to read between the lines. Make sure that you write your answers in full sentences in your homework/exercise book. Once you have completed the questions check your answers with the sheet provided.

I can multiply numbers using the long method of multiplication
Value: Self-belief
This lesson is all to do with long multiplication. First watch the you tube clip to remind you how to multiply numbers using the long method of multiplication. Then decide which sheet you are going to have a go at answering the questions too. Either the Developing, Expected or if you fancy a challenge Greater Depth. Remember to show your working out and answers in books. Check your answers using the answer sheet which is below.
Remember to use a ruler!
Just be careful where you put your exchanges as the you tube video shows you slightly different to where you have been putting them.
This lesson and activity was put on before Easter, however many of you were having trouble to access your home learning so I have put it on again for you to do. If you have already done this activity challenge yourself to complete a higher level sheet.
Science
Have a go at completing the science activity to 'Grow your own rainbow.'
PSHE/Mental well-being
I would like you today to try and do an activity with another person that you live with.
Go for a walk with that person and enjoy the sunshine.
Play a game with that person - eg a board game or an outdoor game.
Make something together - you could cook something or make something creative out of the materials that you have at home.
Have a go at building a tower which is taller than you. Use what you can around the house but be as imaginative as you can. For example you can use lego, rolled up newspaper, cans,
Whatever you choose to do - make sure that you spend time together with another person and have fun!
If you want to - you could take a picture of you doing that activity and email it in to the office. [email protected] We would love to see what you decided to do.
I hope you enjoy carrying out these activities today!
Stay Safe. Missing you lots. Mrs Tyler
