Activities - Week 9 - Friday

Good morning, Year 6!

 Some of you have had trouble finding the books on ActiveLearn. They aren't in the Library section - you need to click on the 'My Stuff' section and then on the picture of the green bug that's reading a book. This will take you to Bug Club, which is where the books are.



 Maths

Starter
To practise your skills converting between fractions and decimals from yesterday, have a go at this game, where you have to crack a vault using your knowledge of fractions and decimals...


Main Activity
How many of these challenges can you complete? Post your answers in the comments below! (Or email us at year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk).





GPS - Word Aware

 Try this solar system vocabulary quiz or this quiz on natural features and personality adjectives.

Then try this sentence challenge about the picture: Use your senses to write a sentence describing what it is like to be in the woods. What sounds could you hear? Are the sights and sounds of the woods different at different times of day?



Literacy

It's the last lesson in our series on writing a magical door story! Today we're finishing off the resolution, writing the ending and doing an edit (not necessarily in that order).


If we were in school, I'd love to publish these stories. I'll post a half-term blog on Monday with some simple ways of making a booklet from paper. Please email us to a) let us know if you want us to carry on doing video lessons for literacy, and b) share your magical door stories with us!

 Topic

 Computing

 Learn about computer games by watching these videos, reading the information and taking part in the activities: Computer Games.

 Library

 Listen to either the extract of 'The Girl of Ink and Stars' or the extract of 'Artemis Fowl':





Ms Abram Millar has put together a list with lots of lovely reading resources for you. You can see the list here: Online Reading Resources.

There will be one blog post next week (on Monday), with some optional half-term activities. You can also use half-term to catch up on anything you've not done for a while (especially Topic!). 

Have a great week!

Ms Tupman and Mr Town

      Hi Amira! Thank you for sharing your answers...

      1. Yes

      2. Check this one - if Rosie gives Mo 25p, she will have 25p less than she started with, and he will have 25p more than he started with... You then have to find the difference between these two new numbers...

      3. Yes

      4. Check this one - I think you have multiplied the perimeter of the hexagon by 4 (42 x 4 = 168). But look at the new shape - the perimeter of this shape is the total length of the sides around the outside of the shape (not the sides on the inside)... How can you work this out?

      5. Check this one - you are nearly there. 2.7kg is what one quarter of a tin of paint weighs... If the tin weighs 3.1kg when it is one quarter full of paint, how much would the empty tin weigh when that one quarter is taken away?

      1 - 3 and 5 Yes! Well done :)

      4. Look carefully at the new shape. How many sides of the hexagons are on the outside?
      How can you work out the length of one side of the regular hexagon?

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.
