Activities - Week 15 - Friday

Good morning, Year 6!

Maths

Starter
Practise your skills from this week by playing this exciting angles game...

Main Activity
How many of these challenges can you complete? Post your answers in the comments below! (Or email us at year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk).







Literacy

 1. If you haven't already taken part in Miss Davies' wonderful reading lesson, then please start by doing that. (Miss Davies is right, by the way: I will be treating myself to copy of this book very soon!)

2. Pick a topic that interests you that we don't teach at Cabot at the moment. Write a paragraph to persuade me that we should teach it! 

 Word Aware

 In school, we've been talking about the collective nouns for groups of animals. For example, a group of crows is called a murder of crows; a group of wild cats is called a destruction of  wild cats; a group of elephants is called a memory of elephants.

There are many, many more! Have a look at the list of collective nouns here. Pick one or two that interest you. Why do you think they're called that? Can you come up with some of your own collective nouns for animals? Or perhaps, pick your favourites from the list and make an alphabet of collective nouns?

My favourite is a flamboyance of flamingoes!

 Topic

 Computing

 Hour Of Code - we haven't done any coding for a while! Try one of the challenges you haven't already done.

 Library

 Ms Abram Millar has another list of wonderful free book resources for you! I love the sound of the 'You Wouldn't Want To Be...' books.

 There is also additional information on the Summer Reading Challenge here.

 Have a good weekend!

Mr Town and Ms Tupman

      Morning Amira,

      1. and 2. YES!

      3. Check again... What are the two largest numbers she could make? What do they total?

      4. 2 pencils + 3 rulers = £5 - £1.07
      (69p x 2) + 3 rulers = £3.93
      Can you complete the calculations to find out what 1 ruler costs?

      5. We've been learning about angles in school this week. Have a look in your CGP book and review what it says about angles in a triangle, angles in a quadrilateral and any other angle facts...

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.
