 Word Aware

 Play 'Taboo' with someone in your house. This is the game where you have to get the other person to guess the word you are describing, but you can't mention the name of the word. There's an online version here, or you can come up with your own words.

      Hi Amira,

      1 and 2 - Yes!

      3. You're right that 32 and 40 are multiples of 8, but this sequence isn't the 8 times table - it's just a series of two-digit numbers with a difference of 8. I'd start by working out what the ones digits have to be. For example, if the ones digit of the first number in the sequence was a __5, then a number after it would need to have a ones digit of ___3, and the number after that would need to have a ones digit of ___1. There isn't a 1, so the first number in the sequence can't have a ones digit of ___5.

      4. Let's say our WHOLE is the big square that has been divided into some medium and some small squares. If the whole had been divided equally into small squares, how many would you have in total? (Imagine the medium squares all divided into the small squares.) How many equal parts are there? (This is your denominator.) How many parts are shaded? (This is your numerator.)

      5. The mass of the jar is 470g. The mass of the jar and six marble is 1.1kg (what's this in grams?). What's the mass of six marbles? Can you use this to calculate the mass of the jar and four marbles (when two marbles have been removed)?

      Hope this helps - leave a comment if you need more help.

      (Ms Tupman, by the way)

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.
