Activities - Week 11 - Tuesday

Good morning, Year 6!

Maths

 Starter
To get ready for today's lesson, spend at least 10 minutes on Mathletics.

Main Activity

Today's lesson is about equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages.

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



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.)

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

 Watch this video about using apostrophes to show contractions, then answer the question below.




Literacy

 Over the next six literacy lessons, we will be writing a persuasive text about a gadget or invention (think back to the work we did on the Teacher Pleaser).

First, watch some of these clips about amazing inventions. Then, make sure you have paper and something to write with and follow along with our main lesson. Pause when the video lesson asks you to pause and join in with any activities.
Topic

 R.E.

 Follow along with the video lesson about moral dilemmas:



(Apologies for the traffic noises on this one - it's been so hot that I've had to have my windows open while I work! An extra bonus activity might be seeing how many cars you can hear - special bonus points if you can tell me the time at which there's a message alert...)

 PSHE

Watch this video about Millie: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmypyrd. As you watch the video, think about the different family groups that Millie belongs to. Answer these questions in your book, or talk about them with your family:

1. What makes a family?
2. How would your life change if you lived with a group of other families, like Millie (this is called communal living)?
3. How does Millie help her community? What jobs would you do to help out the community?
4. Why is personal space important? How do you have a personal space at home, and how do you give others space?

Have a great day! Remember to email us some work that you're proud of and any messages or artwork that you want to display on the school gates: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk.

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.
