Literacy

 In today's lesson, we're practising using the structure and grammar of a non-chronological report to write about Blue Iguanas.


GPS


Topic

Geography

 We're learning about the way that three different mountains are formed in today's lesson. Watch today's video and then make a labelled diagram of the way that the mountains in the video are formed. Or research an example of each type of mountain. Or complete this worksheet about the different types of mountain.

This factsheet might help you. Here are two examples of work that other children have made: example one; example two.



Art

Pick an activity from Tate Kids. A particular favourite of mine is Colour Walk!

Or, why not try mark making with coffee or painting with coffee?


Have a great day and remember to email us some photos of your work: 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.
