Then complete this worksheet: Thursday'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: Thursday's Maths Answers

Literacy

 If you haven't already finished your report and emailed it to us, please do that. Otherwise...

Topic

 Geography

Read and watch the information about the Galapagos Islands. Either make an information leaflet about them, or research some of the animals that live there, and present your information to your family.

 Art

 You have a choice today! Either follow the video lesson about the French artist Henri Matisse and collage, or try this Op Art activity that we did in school yesterday!

First we watched this video, because it uses coloured pens to make the steps really clear:


Then, we watched this video and made our own Op Art! Some children did one sphere, others did several. We drew around all sorts of circular objects! You might like to try using a jar or tin from your kitchens (check with an adult first, and put it back when you've finished).
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.
