Activities - Week 11 - Friday

Good morning, Year 6!

We're looking forward to seeing some of you at school on Wednesday and Thursday next week. If you're coming to school next week, we'll be sending you a letter by email later today. If you have any questions about the letter, please call school (or you can email us at year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk).

Work will be posted on the blog as normal all week. Children who don't come to school will still be called by someone from Cabot. If you need to speak to us, you can call school, leave us a comment on the blog, or email us.

Maths

Starter
To warm up, go on Mathletics for at least 10 minutes.


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).








Literacy

Follow along with the next video lesson on writing a persuasive text:




Word Aware
Play Snake Word!

You can play this game by yourself or with any number of other people. All you need is some paper and something to write with (if possible, choose a different colour pen or pencil for everyone playing). 

Pick a person to start. They write any word on one side of the paper (you could set a rule that it has to be at least a five-letter word, or a word to do with a particular topic (e.g. food, weather, travel), if you wanted to challenge yourselves). Your next word must start with the last letter of their word, and you write it as if it were part of the same word. (See my example below!)

You can set a time limit for each person to write their word, or you can lose points if you repeat a word, or you can keep going until you run out of paper. I could have kept going with mine, but I chose to see if I could go all the way back to the first word I started with. Can you work out the words I used? (Answers below the photo!)



Here's my snake word: eggoatomatoescubappledgemptyakiteaglemailemonutornadopticalyricsugarhubarbrainskippingrinincompoopotatovalimousinevilycramazingrunge

(egg, goat, tomatoes, scuba, apple, edge, empty, yak, kite, eagle, email, lemon, nut, tornado, optical, lyrics, sugar, rhubarb, brains, skipping, grin, nincompoop, potato, oval, limousine, evil, lycra, amazing, grunge)

Topic

Computing

Read and watch the information on this page: How does the internet work? Can you sketch an explanation of how the internet works? Can you simplify the glossary, so that someone younger than you understands it? How would the world be different without the internet?

Library

JK Rowling is releasing chapters of her new book, The Ickabog, for free! She's also running a competition for children to illustrate the book. Check out the book and the competition on The Ickabog website. (Chapter One is here!)

Have a lovely weekend!

      You are quick off the mark this morning Amira - well done!

      Your answers for 1-3 look good.

      Challenge 4: We could use algebra here. Let's say the shirt costs x pounds. The jacket costs £25 more, so that would be x + 25. The total is £87, so then we have:

      x + x + 25 = 87

      Does this help you to work out what the value of x is?

      Challenge 5: Yes, the cube has the same value each time. Clue: what is the difference between the two pictures (what shapes have been added in the second picture?) And how much does the mass go up by because of this? This should help you to work out what the value of a cone is.

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!

Here's their version of 'The Boneyard Rap':  https://youtu.be/RYMP-pN_8Tc . Finally, Miss Davies has made some reading lessons for you.

Have a lovely weekend, Ms Tupman ...

Good morning, Year 6!
