 * What do you notice? What do you wonder?

* Why does she live on a boat?
* Does she have everything she needs?
* Is she happy?
* Is she lonely?
* Is being alone the same as being lonely?

Word Aware

Play 'I'm thinking of...' with someone in your family. The rules are simple: use three adjectives to describe something and see if they can guess what you're thinking of. If no one is available, you can play it with me (leave your guesses in the comments section). 

I'm thinking of something... tasty, white and small. Can you guess what I'm thinking of?

Topic

Computing

Try some of these typing games.

Library

Have you looked at the list of resources which Ms Abram Millar put together for you?

Enjoy Jason Reynolds reading an extract from one of his amazing books, 'Ghost':




Have a great day!

      Hi Amira,

      1. What would it look like if you drew it as a bar model?

      2. Yes, it's 8!

      3. She drinks 2/5 of the coffee. What fraction hasn't she drunk? This fraction is equal to 120ml of coffee. Can you use this to work out how much coffee there was at the start (or, how much coffee is equal to 5/5)?

      4. Yes, well done!

      5. Okay, let us know if you'd like a hint.

      I'm impressed by how early you were up and doing maths work!

      Ms Tupman

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.
