Year 6 Spring 1- Week 4
Week Four
Hello everyone,
Thank you again for working so hard and adapting to all the changes. We have now added a suggested timetable below. This may work for some of you, but please do not feel you have to stick to it. We just wanted to give you an idea of how a day would look and we are well aware that having some structure to the day may help the children with their learning further.
Remember that we will be meeting every morning at 8.30am and 1.30pm as usual. From this week, we will also be running an extra call at 11.35 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 always, do your best with it and email in a screen shot/typed up version of some of your work for us to look at to: year6@holytrinity.leeds.sch.uk
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-4-number-percentages-2/
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.

Spellings
Have a look at the spellings below and learn them. Get your parents to test you at some point this week on them:

We will be looking at some of the Gospels this half term. Read through the slides and answer the questions as you go along.

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 about pulse and rhythm.
The Human Drum Kit (Click here)
Computing (Thursday afternoon)
Have a read through of the PowerPoint and make sure you watch the videos- they are embedded in there. We will also try to save these in files, if your video is not loading up.
Remember the website to get on is: www.scratch.mit.edu
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:
