Then, try this quiz.

 Literacy

 Read this extract from The Snow-Walker's Son by Catherine Fisher. You can listen to the extract here: https://soundcloud.com/talkforwriting/doors

Answer these questions in your books:

1. The door was the last one in the corridor. What does the use of the word 'last' tell you?

2. Re-read the opening (in bold). Where do you think this story is set? How can you tell?

 3. What does the use of the word 'hefty' tell you about the iron chain? What clues does this give you about what's behind the door?

4. Darkness and a damp smell oozed through the black slit. How does this make you feel? Were you surprised by this description? Why?

5. What do you think happened next? Why?


 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 about multiplying fractions by other fractions.

First, watch this video and have a go at any of the questions in it: Tuesday's Maths Video

Then complete this worksheet: Tuesday'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.)

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!

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.

Term 5 - More Maths

 We used the double-sided counters to explore the game of Nim-7 . We enjoyed working out if there was a way of always winning, whether you were Player 1 or Player 2.  Once we'd explored that, we started asking ourselves other questions: "What would happen if we had an even number of counters?" "What if you could take more counters at a time?" "What if you used the same rules, but played with more people?" Each group picked a question to investigate further, and started to think about how to record what they had found out. Year 6 worked well in partnership with each other and really thought deeply about the maths behind the investigation.
