Good morning, Year 6!

We've not seen or heard much from you this week. We hope that you're all okay? If you are having difficulties accessing the work we are setting, please let Miss Ali know when she calls you. If there are no problems, then we expect that you are all carrying on with your learning as usual - please email us (if you are able to) this week to tell us what you've been working on: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk

French
🇫🇷 🧁 🇫🇷 Français chez toi avec Madame Cartlidge 🇫🇷 🧁 🇫🇷 

Bonjour !

Well done if you guessed  that today’s title means “French at home with Mrs Cartlidge” !

I have had some lovely messages from children who had a go at making the crêpes from the recipe a couple of weeks ago  - thank you so much! I am missing seeing you all and that really cheered me up.

As you obviously enjoy cooking, I have another recipe for you this week: a popular French cake called ‘Madeleine’


If you can’t make the cakes yourself, you can watch this video of a mum and her son making Madeleines. 


The recipe is not quite the same, but can you find out the name of the extra ingredient?

Au revoir !

Madame Cartlidge

History

 For our Space Race learning today, please research a 'first________ in space' that we haven't talked about yet. Here are some suggestions for people you could research:

First Black Woman in Space (Mae Jemison);
First Briton in Space (Helen Sharman);
First Female Muslim in Space (Anousheh Ansari);
First Muslim in Space (Sultan bin Salman Al Saud).

You could also research other space firsts, such as first photograph of ________, first international space station, first space telescope... Comment or email to let us know what you find out!

Have a good day!

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.
