Wednesday 10th February 2021
Good morning Year 6. I hope you are all still well as we hit halfway through the week. Once again, there are many tasks attached to Wednesday because our usual timetable would include Reading, English, Maths, French, Music and RE, all in one day. Please do not be overwhelmed by all of this and do what you can today – remember to look after your wellbeing!
Here are the tasks:
Dance Week
Do not forget that this week is Dance Week with the link for our school’s video here, Dance Week Video. If you would like to be on our school’s music video, send me a video of you dancing (just 10 seconds) through Seesaw by Thursday lunch time. Happy dancing!
Reading
Read for 30 minutes. Keep building up that speed and stamina.
Reading activity for today:
- Make a timeline of the important events in the story.
English (split into three parts: Handwriting, Spellings and Writing)
Handwriting
The handwriting poems this week are based on old nursery rhymes/action verses. This week focus on having the descenders hanging low and the ascenders tall.
Incey Wincey Spider
Incey Wincey spider
Climbed up the water spout;
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out:
Out came the sunshine
And dried up all the rain;
Incey Wincey spider
Climbed the spout again.
Spellings
The spellings for this week, -sure / -ture
- Watch the video sent through Seesaw for how to play ‘Pyramid’.
Writing task
Can I design open ended questions for an interview with Tom?
I have sent a video explaining today’s lesson. Please watch it first as it will help in structuring an interview between yourself and Tom.
The link to the BBC video that I refer to in the video is here, How to Interview People.
The template, if you would like to use it, is attached at the bottom of this blog, named Interview Template.
Maths – Fractions Week
- Warm up your brain: Counting forwards in 1/5 then 3/5
Use the numbers to begin: 4 , 16 1/5 , 27 4/5 , 81 , 45
- Main lesson. The objective for today is:
- Can I use the grid method for up to 4 digit x 2 digit calculations?
There is a Seesaw video for today’s lesson which will help in answering ‘Multiplication Grid Method’ and the challenge:
Maths challenge – Missing Numbers
Music
Follow this link, Developing Beatboxing, to Oak National Academy for today’s lesson.
There is also an image attached to the bottom of this blog named, What are your favourite songs? This has a template for you to complete for fun to note down your favourite songs at different times.
French

Listen again to slide 2 with the rhyming weather forecast. Try this a couple of times until you are confident with the pronunciation.
Now you are going to use a map of France to write and ‘perform’ your own weather forecast. It doesn’t have to rhyme! There is a map of France in the resources.
Use an atlas or online map to add as many places as you can manage – at least 6, please, more if you can. Add the places to the map then draw a weather symbol next to them.
Then use the model on slide 3 to help you describe the weather. For example, A Paris, il fait gris. You don’t need to put all the dots in. Trim the map and stick your map in your book with the date in French and title Can I describe the weather? Write your weather forecast underneath.
Extra challenge: Can you add some negative sentences? Remember, we add ne ….. pas round the verb to make a negative. For example, you could say. A Nîmes, il fait chaud. Il ne fait pas froid or il n’y a pas de vent. In Nimes, it is hot. It is not cold or it is not windy. (note: du changes to de after a negative) Have a go!
This work would be even better if you could make a video of yourself ‘performing’ (or just reading) your weather forecast and put it on Seesaw. You might like to dress up as a TV presenter – comedy outfits appreciated!
Bonne chance!
RE
Can I write a prayer of unity?
Jesus often spoke to his disciples about the importance of unity among them. He gave them the model of the unity between himself and God the Father.
Attached at the bottom is a passage from John 17: 11, 20-23 which is a prayer to the disciples of how they could be more effective if there was unity among them.
- From the passage, what were your favourite words and phrases and why?
- What can you learn from this Gospel reading?
Your task is to create your own prayer of unity that we could read out in school (when everyone returns). What message would you like in your unity prayer? Will you ask the Lord for more unity or will you name how we can be more united in your prayer?
Only as guidance, you may wish to start your prayer with:
Lord / Dear Lord / O Lord God / Father
And possibly end with:
Amen
(For how long your prayer has to be: short medium or long, I do not mind)
Sumdog – Three challenges:
- Fluency in 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and.9x tables (200 target by Sunday)
- Multiply by 10, 100 and two digit numbers (200 target by Sunday)
- Spellings -ture / -sure (45 target by Friday)
Congratulations for making it to the end of Wednesday!
