Activities - Week 16 - Wednesday

Good morning, Year 6!

We have emailed your parents with details about the Year 6 leavers' lunch. If you'll be coming into school for lunch and to say goodbye on Wednesday 15th July, please let us know!

Maths

Starter
To warm up, have a go at a Daily 10 Maths Challenge. Choose your own level of challenge and skill to practise. Have a few goes and see if you can beat your previous score. Or you could challenge someone else in your family!

Main Activity

Today's lesson is more about solving problems.

First, watch this video and have a go at any of the questions in it:



Then complete this worksheet: Wednesday's Maths Worksheet.

(Don't forget that you can do this by writing the answers in your book or on a piece of paper - you don't need to print the sheet out.)

Then check your work against the answers: Wednesday's Maths Answers.


Literacy

Your report should now be finished! Please send it in to us at: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk. If you want to publish it, you could make a booklet like this:


For a final touch, you could write your 'about the author' (this was at the very end of yesterday's literacy video).

Bonjour les enfants !

This week I have two activities for you about animals. For both of them, you will need some new words for describing what an animal looks like:

des écailles = scales (like a fish 🐟)
des plumes = feathers (like a bird 🦅)
de la peau = skin (like a pig 🐖)
de la fourrure = fur (like a rabbit 🐇)
un bec = beak (like a bird 🐦)
un cou = neck (like a giraffe 🦒)
des oreilles = ears (like an elephant 🐘)
des nageoires = flippers (like a dolphin 🐬)
des pattes = paws (like a dog 🐕)

Make up an Animal

Can you draw an imaginary animal and label it in French? 

Perhaps it has a very long neck, huge ears and flippers and is covered in fur? Or perhaps it can fly and swim and is bright blue! If you know your colours, you can add those too. 

If you can take a photo of your drawing and send it into school, let me know and I will try to get it printed for the school gate.

Escape Room

You will all remember the maths escape rooms you did last year, when you had to find a code to open a box. Well, I hope this link works for you because it is an online escape room, where you have to find the animals and play some games to get a code to unlock the zoo! Don’t let the lions out though!


History

Learn about Benin and then look more closely at some artefacts from Benin here. Each artefact has some questions for you to answer - pick one to answer in your books. 

Have a great day!

Activities - Week 6

Good morning Year 6, It feels like it's been a very long time since we've seen you now, and we miss you all very much. We're looking forward to hearing all about what you've been doing when we speak to you this week! Thank you so much if you've posted a comment on the blog - we have replied to every comment that we've seen. We'd really like to hear some of your 'Magical Door' poems when we call you this week - perhaps you can practise performing your poems before we speak to you? Or, if you prefer, you could post your poems as comments on the blog! If you've been a little slow to return to schoolwork after the holidays, please make sure you've checked the blog posts from the last few weeks. Weekly Activities Literacy 1. Carry on with your diaries. You might not feel that you have anything interesting to write about, but remember that this is a very unusual time. In thirty years or so, your children might be reading your diary to

Ramadan and reading

Ramadan Mubarak, Year 6!  We know that Ramadan this year will be very different to any that you have experienced so far. Please watch this message from Bristol Muslim Strategic Leadership Group (BMSLG), the Mayor of Bristol and others - they very eloquently say all that we wish to say to you:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma3iNRImtbo .  We also have a few reading updates for you! For those of you who have been following along with Miss Davies' Family Performance Poetry Challenge, Ms Tupman's aunt and uncle have decided to join you! Here's their version of 'The Boneyard Rap':  https://youtu.be/RYMP-pN_8Tc . Finally, Miss Davies has made some reading lessons for you. Your parents should have received a text message with the link, but in case they didn't, you can access the lesson here:  https://youtu.be/GqMqvtIb0G4 . It will take you about 20 minutes to do, and there will be a new lesson next Wednesday. Have a lovely weekend, Ms Tupman and M

Term 6 - Writing

 In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.
