Good morning, Year 6!
If you're joining us at school on Wednesday, then your most important job for today and tomorrow is to make sure you're eating dinner and going to bed at a sensible time, getting enough sleep and then waking up at the time you'll need to be waking up for school. Getting into a good routine now will make Wednesday easier!
We'll be celebrating Empathy Day tomorrow, but there are things you could do all week to participate. See the information here for more details. We'd love to hear what you do to mark Empathy Day - you can either tell us in school on Wednesday or email us: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk
Maths
Starter
To get ready for today's lesson, spend at least 5 minutes playing Times Table Rock Stars.
Main Activity
Today's lesson is about converting between finding a rule in algebra.
First, watch this video and have a go at any of the questions in it:
Then complete this worksheet: Monday'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: Monday's Maths Answers
Literacy
Today and tomorrow we'll be finishing off the piece of writing we started last week. Today we're adding a quote to our persuasive text.
GPS - Spelling
Watch the video, read the information and complete the activity on spelling the 'shus' sound, which is generally spelt with -cious or -tious (as always watch out for exceptions like 'anxious').
Bonus activity: practise your handwriting and spelling by writing some silly 'shus' sentences.
Topic
Science
Good new, science fans! Do you remember the cuttings we took of the umbrella plants earlier in the year? They've survived lockdown and are doing really well! Ms Ismail has taken some of them home, and promises to keep us updated with news of their progress. Mr Town took some photos for us:
The brown bits in the water are the leaves from the cuttings we took. The green bits above the water are the new growth!
For your science lesson today, you'll be learning about which organisms have lived during different eras. First, complete this quiz, then follow along with the lesson.
P.E.
If you can, get outside for some exercise in the fresh air.
Take part in as many P.E. with Joe sessions as you can.
Have a great day and remember to get to bed at a sensible time! If you have any questions about coming back to school, please email us or leave us a comment: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk

Okay so this is.not relevant but yesterday I saw people protesting and they were dragged a statue into the river because the statue was a slave owner and they want everyone to know that BLACK LIVES MATTER
ReplyDeleteI think that's definitely relevant, Amira! I was going to ask you guys what you thought about the protests tomorrow, as part of our PSHE, but I'd love to know what you think now, too!
DeleteI think it could be great protesting because each person would be heard by someone 🤝👍✋🤞✌️🙂
ReplyDeleteI agree that protesting can be a great way of making sure your voice is heard!
DeleteSome people didn't join the protests because they're worried about catching or spreading corona virus.
What could those people do so that their voices are still heard? Is there another way that they could protest?
It’s Nadia I think it could be great to be protesting cause you will be heard not as much real but the violence would be very dangerous 🙂🙃😁🤨
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when we were looking at bias in the news? When you next see some reporting on the protests, see if the report is balanced or if it shows bias.
DeleteWhy might some news reports be biased when they're reporting on the protests?
Well I think most people would be on the people that are protesting because there the ones who r fighting to stop racism it's not good.😮😮
ReplyDeleteI think it might be biased because well there r sides u might think the same as one side so it should be biased
ReplyDeleteI mean the racism is not good btw
ReplyDeleteThere protesting all over America especially in minneapolis and there wanting there voice to be heard bc a police killed gorge floyd.😥😥😞😞😞😞
ReplyDeleteI think they could make signs on there window so that there voice is still heard 👂👂and make the world 🌎 racist free and in peace ✌
ReplyDeleteLots of thoughtful ideas here, Amira, thank you. I think we need to listen to their voices and do what we can to show that we want change.
DeleteThe people pulled down the statue of Edward Colston, one of the biggest and most infamous slave traders in the world. He transported in cramped ships over 80000 black people to England, and around 19,000 died. There have been petitions before to take the statue down because of its links to slavery. There was also a small counter protest where people were saying that history had been trashed. Priti Patel, the Home Secretary said a few words about it.
ReplyDeleteHi Asma, thanks for your comment. What do you think about how the statue was removed? There are a number of buildings in the city named after slave traders (not just Colston). In the past, there have been calls for these buildings to change their names (two example that springs to mind are Colston's Girls' School and the Wills Memorial Building). Some places are changing (slowly), with Colston Hall due to rename itself soon, and others have said that they won't change their names.
DeleteHow should we remember Bristol's associations with the slave trade without celebrating the slave traders?
OH and... I forgot my TTRS account.. :/
ReplyDeleteHi Asma, I've given your password to Miss Ali so she can pass it on to you when she calls.
DeleteI completely agree with you about TTRS - it's a shame we can't combine it with Mathletics so that there are other maths games available. I do think it's a really good format for practising times tables. I'll have to see if we can come up with any ways of getting people motivated to participate again. Some of my teacher friends at other schools have said that the novelty wearing off was a factor for older children not using TTRS as much as younger children.
I think that once your time is close to a minute (or, in some cases, below a minute), it can be really frustrating to try to get the time down - it becomes more about typing than being able to do the maths.
Let me know your thoughts, Asma! One thing's for sure: we need to improve our times table knowledge across the school.
And I've noticed something when watching my brother play Time table rock star. Nobody has gone online in a while. I think people got bored of it, because before everybody was trying to be the top but after once my brother got to half a second, people got bored of it. I think it just wasn't exciting enough anymore :/
ReplyDeleteEven though it had lots of items to wear, the novelty of having it, the newness, died down.
ReplyDeleteIbrahim did send loads of challenges to people but the majority haven't been completed. I guess it's just showing people arent logging on as much. Its just a bit of speculation.
