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.


Literacy


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!

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.
