Otherwise, spend some time on https://switchzoo.com/zoo.htm finalising the creature that you will write about next week (remember that at school today we found out that this site worked on the iPads if we used Google Chrome, but not Safari). 

Make sure that you are happy with the animal you have created, and remember there are different options available, depending on which animal you start with! (Use the buttons highlighted in the picture below to change your starting animal.)


Here are some examples of creatures you could make:

      Good morning, Amira!

      1. Not quite - how long is the car? How long is the bus? What's the difference?

      2. Yes, the heaviest is either B or C, but which one is it? C weighs more than A (C > A), so A can't be the heaviest. Does C weigh more than B, or does B weigh more than C?

      3. and 4. YES! Well done.

      5. I'm going to add something about this one in a moment.

      Hi Amira,

      Sorry, that took me a while longer than I thought. I've made a quick video to explain Question 5. You can watch it here: White Rose Challenge Video

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.
