Activities - Week 9 - Wednesday

Good morning, Year 6!

Thank you to everyone who has sent us emails about the learning that you've been doing at home (and some lovely artwork to display on the school gates). If we haven't replied to you, then we haven't received your email! You can email us pictures of your work, questions and messages for the school gates at: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk

We have changed how commenting on the blog works after a few unkind comments were posted recently. Remember our school rule: we speak kindly, politely and respectfully to each other. You can still comment on the blog, but we will be checking your comments before they appear.

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 dividing decimals by whole numbers.

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


GPS

You might find that the video we posted for GPS on Monday will help you with this question:

If you're still stuck, then have a look at the comments section for Tuesday's blog post, where we have posted our explanation of yesterday's question.

Literacy

Today we're writing the next part of our story about a character who travels through a mysterious door. Follow along with the lesson below (you will need what you wrote yesterday, paper and something to write with):

If you're still stuck about what your character could see when they go through the door, take some inspiration from Shawn Tan's The Lost Thing:


Here are some other examples of different worlds: Jack Skellington seeing Christmas Land; The Flintstones; Alice going down the rabbit hole. 

Topic

French

🇫🇷 🐌 🐞 🕷 🇫🇷 French at Home with Madame Cartlidge 🇫🇷 🐌 🐞 🕷 🇫🇷

This week, can you draw a picture of as many insects as you can think of and then label it in French using this dictionary: French Dictionary

History

Catch up with the video lessons we've posted so far on the Space Race (you'll need to scroll down to the Topic section):

Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 (which is in two parts!)

If you're already caught up, then listen to this podcast about the Space Race (it's made by one of the people behind 'Horrible Histories', so it's well-worth a listen! If, like me, you love all things history, you can listen to more episodes, about different history topics, here).

Have a fantastic day!
