Year 6 Spring 1- Week 6
Week Six
Hello everyone,
We have finally made it to the final week of this half-term and you have all done an amazing job- your parents included. Make sure you say a huge thank you to them for all the support they have provided whilst working themselves!
Remember that we will be meeting every morning at 8.30am and 1.30pm as usual. Do not forget also the 11.35am call that will be a drop-in to help. You do not have to join this but it may help some of you.
Don’t forget, the Maths can be submitted via Assignments on Teams (we will look at that all but give more feedback on at least 2 pieces) and we will also ask for some pieces of English/Afternoon activities submitting through assignments but we will give you prior warning to this as per the newsletter. ?
As always, do your best with it.
Thank you.
Mr March and Mr Clarke
Suggested Timetable for Year 6
Below is the timetable that we have created to give you some structure. This does not have to be followed exactly and is just a guide for those of you who need it ?
Supporting Collective Worship at Home
Whilst we are away from school, we wanted to make sure our pupils and families still have the opportunity to take part and worship together. There will be a weekly video from Mrs Swann, a member of our Holy Trinity Church family and additional links which can be used to support Collective Worship at home.

Maths
The links to the sheets are now on Teams, remember that they are at the top under the assignments tab. We will be uploading each day so that you do not get confused which sheet to do. We also are setting them as assignments so we can see your work.
Use the link to access the videos: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/spring-week-6-number-algebra/
Once you have done that, there are extension tasks to have a go at, as well as Mathletics for you to do any of the tasks in the areas you are still unsure about.

Art Lesson 4 (Monday afternoon)
You will need to only complete the fourth lesson that is on the slides, we know the date is incorrect but the task is still the same. The date is at the top (1.2.21). Read through and do your best to draw the dragon eye. Remember that this can be an ongoing project.
Science (Tuesday afternoon)
This week we are going to look at micro-organisms, and investigate how some are harmful but many are useful.

RE (Wednesday afternoon)
Read through the slides and make sure you are doing everything it has asked. Your presentation and work should be of the high Year 6 standard.
Music (Thursday)
There are two tasks for music, choose one of them and have a go. You might want to do both, which again is absolutely fine. The first is a YouTube video link; the second a PowerPoint put together by Art Forms.

Computing/ Safer Internet Day Lesson (Thursday afternoon)
Today you will be continuing with your pixel art project that will build towards ‘Safer Internet Day’ next Tuesday 9th February. This is all around how to stay safe online but also how to look after your own mental well-being whilst online. If you have finished your online safety poster, you can have a go at creating your own pixel art character.

This was a live lesson on Tuesday but it will definitely help you with keeping safe online. There are a few online stars that will guide you through. Make sure you use the worksheet underneath (if you like) and have a go at answering the questions.
PE/Mindfulness (Friday)
Head into your garden and get a bit of exercise. If you do not want to be outside, have a look at some of the videos from the links below which contain a mix of yoga/mindfulness/active lifestyle suggestions:
