Activities - Week 16 - Wednesday

Good morning, Year 6!

We have emailed your parents with details about the Year 6 leavers' lunch. If you'll be coming into school for lunch and to say goodbye on Wednesday 15th July, please let us know!

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 more about solving problems.

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

 Your report should now be finished! Please send it in to us at: year6.cabot@bristol-schools.uk. If you want to publish it, you could make a booklet like this:


For a final touch, you could write your 'about the author' (this was at the very end of yesterday's literacy video).

Bonjour les enfants !

This week I have two activities for you about animals. For both of them, you will need some new words for describing what an animal looks like:

des écailles = scales (like a fish 🐟)
des plumes = feathers (like a bird 🦅)
de la peau = skin (like a pig 🐖)
de la fourrure = fur (like a rabbit 🐇)
un bec = beak (like a bird 🐦)
un cou = neck (like a giraffe 🦒)
des oreilles = ears (like an elephant 🐘)
des nageoires = flippers (like a dolphin 🐬)
des pattes = paws (like a dog 🐕)

Make up an Animal

Can you draw an imaginary animal and label it in French? 

Perhaps it has a very long neck, huge ears and flippers and is covered in fur? Or perhaps it can fly and swim and is bright blue! If you know your colours, you can add those too. 

If you can take a photo of your drawing and send it into school, let me know and I will try to get it printed for the school gate.

Escape Room

You will all remember the maths escape rooms you did last year, when you had to find a code to open a box. Well, I hope this link works for you because it is an online escape room, where you have to find the animals and play some games to get a code to unlock the zoo! Don’t let the lions out though!


History

Learn about Benin and then look more closely at some artefacts from Benin here. Each artefact has some questions for you to answer - pick one to answer in your books. 

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.
