Activities - Week 14 - Wednesday

Good morning, Year 6!

Maths

 Starter
To warm up, have a go at a Daily 10 Maths Challenge. Choose your own level of challenge and skill to practise. Have a few goes and see if you can beat your previous score. Or you could challenge someone else in your family!

Main Activity

Today's lesson is about finding the area of parallelograms.

First, watch this video and have a go at any of the questions in it:



Then complete this worksheet: Wednesday'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: Wednesday's Maths Answers.

Here's the video clip I mention in the lesson: Seven Worlds, One Planet: Africa (watch from 2 minutes in until the end of the section on chimpanzees).

Here's the website where I said you could get extra information about chimpanzees: Chimpanzee Facts. (Be careful - not all of the facts are about chimps' talents!)

Bonjour les enfants !

This week I have a video for you about lots of birthday presents. It was my birthday in April, just after we started lockdown, so unfortunately I wasn’t able to celebrate it properly, although my daughter did make me a lovely cake - yum yum (or miam miam as they say in French !)

The girl in this cartoon receives lots of clothes as presents. After you have watched it, I wonder if you will be able to draw a picture of your favourite outfit and label it in French? If you do, make sure you take a photo of your drawing and email it in to school.
Au revoir!

Madame Cartlidge

 History

 Take a look at NASA's Image of the Day Gallery. Pick a photo that interests you (or more than one). Why do you think that NASA have included it in this gallery? Why is it important to you? Can you research any more information about it?

 Have a great day!

Ms Tupman and Mr Town

Term 5 - Literacy

 In Literacy, we read and wrote discussion texts about whether or not artefacts such as the Benin Bronzes should be returned to their countries of origin. To explore the issue, Year 6 took part in role-play activities and conscience alleys to share their opinions and understand how different people might feel about this topical issue. Year 6 showed great maturity in discussing this topic and were able to express their viewpoints with evidence and arguments to back themselves up.
