Additional links/challenges to activities you may want to exploreChallenge for the Week!
‘I have set myself the challenge this week to tidy and organise an area of the house that I would normally forget about. I have chosen to organise my wardrobes because I hide my clothes inside them and never see it! That means I normally ignore how disorganised it is. Your challenge is to do the
same. Choose one area of the house which you would normally leave messy or disorganised and fix it! Imagine how much this will help you and your family. Post a before and after picture on Google Classroom if you can.’ – Mrs Bridgeman
These are the details and links to some of the activities posted on Google Classroom this week. Due to the nature of some of the tasks, we cannot add them all to this document but they are available on Google Classroom if you are able to log in. If you
experience any problems, please contact your child’s class teacher via email.
Monday – Maths – White Rose
Monday Maths activity will always introduce the lessons which have been created through White Rose Maths who have created daily lessons which focus on the curriculum which would have been covered in school.
These lessons are really useful as they provide a video which will help you understand the concept and then a worksheet to go with it. This is available on the White Rose Maths website: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
Here is an outline for Week 2Lesson 1 Lesson 1 - Decimals up to 2 dp
Monday - Science – Animals including HumansWhat is a life cycle?
Follow this link to find a video and short interactive game about life cycles:https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgssgk7/articles/zwn6mnb
Once you have done those, choose an animal (not humans) and research its lifecycle. Draw and label the life cycle of your animal, including any details you found from your research.
Here is an example one about the life cycle of an amphibian:
Street Child - Chapter 1 Read chapter 1 from Street Child and answer the following questions in A Google Doc or in your Home Learning Book. This book is based around a child in the Victorian times.
1. “At last he came to his home, in a house full of families...”Did Jim have more than one family? Explain.
2. Can you suggest two possible reason as to why Jim’s mother “...never eats.”
3. “He was panting with triumph and excitement.” Why do you think Jim felt this way when he arrived home?
4. Find the simile, “...his coin as hot as a piece of coal in his fist.” Describe why this is a good simile to describe the coin.
5. Predict whether you think Jim’s mum will be able to go back to work. Give evidence from the text to support your answer.
6. Predict who you believe to be the oldest sister in Jim’s family. Give reasons for your answer. Quote from the text if needed.
7. Can you give 3 reasons as to why Jim was dancing when paying for the pie?
Tuesday – Topic - Victorians
Topic – Top Hats and Chimney SweepsOur topic this term is based all around the Victorian times. Every two weeks, we will be setting you a new focus for your research. For the next 2 weeks, we would like you to research how the Victorians began. For example:- What time period is it and what came before/after it?- Why is it called the Victorians?- Who is Queen Victoria?- Who are her family?For this project, we would like you to study in as much depth as you can. This could include:
Photographs, drawings, diagrams Fact file written in your own words Diary in role Video documentary Family tree Timelines Models Video diaries
It is completely up to you how you do it!
Tuesday - PE – In the Box and Wacky Races
Wednesday – Maths – Clock Investigation
1) Make sure that you are confident telling the time before starting this. If you are not, ask one of your family members to teach you and
practise eah day. Here is a website to help: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zhk82hv/articles/zcmdwxs
These clocks have been reflected in a mirror. What times do they say?
Where is the hour hand pointing?Where is the minute hand pointing?
Wednesday – PHSE – Mindfulness BingoThere are lots of suggestions out there just by searching mindfulness on the Internet. Here are a few we have
come up with.
Wednesday – Reading
Below are 5 activities for you to do about the book you are reading at the moment.
1. Find 10 common nouns in your book and make a list.Challenge: Find 5 proper nouns
2. Find adjective in your book and make a list.Make up 5 sentences but each sentence must contain at least 3 adjectives
3. Choose 5 adjectives in your book.Find synonyms (words that mean the same or similar) for these adjectivesChallenge: Find antonyms (words that mean the opposite) for these adjectives
4. Pick out 3 words that you feel are powerfulExplain what makes each word powerful to you
5. How did the book get your attention to want to read it?What about the book made you want to read it and why was it effective?
Thursday - Writing
Thursday - Art
As we are stuck at home, I have created a unit of Art work that you can do from your window.
The final piece you are going to create over the next few weeks is a collage of different textures that represents what you can see from your window. You can choose to do is as an exact image of what you can see from the window or make it interpretive and show the scene in a more abstract way. However, the series of activities remain the same.
As you will be going outdoors there is a series of things you will need to remember:
1. Practising good hygiene (washing your hands after being outside and keeping hands away from your face)
2. Checking the environment is safe for you to work in (this will involve having an adult check the area is appropriate)
3. Making sure you are in view of an adult and not touching any plants that might be harmful.
Activity 2: Drawing different textures to practise the skill of noticing textures within a scene. Again, I would use a pencil (either a usual pencil or coloured pencils) as it is hard to get the detail with a pen. You will need to either recreate or print the sheet.
Thursday – Art
Thursday – Spelling Test
Spelling Quiz 2 – Year 6 Exception Words
Instructions for the reader:Read the word, then the sentence with the word inserted, then repeat the word. For example:‘Question 1: The word is symbol. The symbol for love is a red heart. The word is symbol’
At the end of the quiz, you can read all the words again so the children can check their answers.
The child only needs to write the spelling word not the whole sentence but they must make sure they do not use capital letters and their handwriting is clear (we encourage them to print during spelling tests).
1) available - We parked in the next __________________________ space.2) average - The doctor said my baby brother was an________________________ weight. 3) awkward - Sometimes, I find silences ____________________________. 4) bargain - In the sales, we often find a ___________________________. 5) bruise - I fell over at lunchtime and a __________________________ appeared on my knee. 6) category - My favourite book __________________________ is non-fiction. 7) cemetery - Each year we visit our deceased family members at the ___________________________. 8) committee - Before a school can make big decisions, they have to talk to the Governor _________________________. 9) communicate - It is important to _______________________________ your feelings to people.10) community - We are all part of the school _____________________________.
