Wednesday 3rd February 2021
Good morning Year 6. We are half way through the week – well done! 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:
PSHE
Expressing yourself through movement can be achieved with Yoga; a fun way to refresh your body and mind so that you can focus better. Follow this 10 minute video here, Yoga with Adriene.
Reading
Read for 30 minutes. Keep building up that speed and stamina.
Reading activity for today:
- Design a birthday card for the main character. What age are they? What would they like the most as a gift?
English (split into three parts: Handwriting, Spellings and Writing)
Handwriting
The handwriting poems this week are based on puns and wordplay. Make sure you slow down each of your letters to make them form correctly. This week focus on having all your letters the same size (so each ‘a’ is the same as every other ‘a’).
You Tell Me
Here are the football results:
League Division Fun
Manchester United won, Manchester City lost.
Crystal Palace 2 Buckingham Palace 1
Millwall Leeds nowhere
Wolves 8 A cheese roll and had a cup of tea 2
Aldershot 3, Buffalo Bill shot 2
Evertonil, Liverpool’s not very well either
Newcastle’s Heaven, Sunderland’s a very nice place
Ipswhich one? You tell me.
Spellings
The spellings for this week, -gue / -que words
- Write out each word in parts with different colours. This could be in syllables or random but try to keep the gue and que in the same colour as it will help your visual memory:
- Antique, grotesque, unique, league
Writing task
Can I write a summary of the Rip Van Winkle tale?
Do not read a chapter today as I have another story, Rip Van Winkle, which is the tale spoken about in Tom’s Midnight Garden, chapter 21.
Watch the YouTube video of the story being read here Rip Van Winkle. Then watch the video sent through Seesaw where I explain the task for today.
Maths – Calculating with Fractions Week
- Warm up your brain: Counting back in 9s from:
725, 950, 1620, 700, 237
- Main lesson. The objective for today is:
Can I continue to add fractions with different denominators?
Today’s lesson is very similar to Tuesday’s but with more reasoning questions. You can watch yesterday’s video which should help and then watch today’s video by White Rose Maths, Adding Fractions video which will guide you in answering the sheet, Adding Fractions questions and answers, attached at the bottom of this blog.
Music
Follow this link Beatboxing Basics, to Oak National Academy for today’s lesson.
French
First let’s recap the phonics sounds from the last week by watching the video again. This week, you are going to try and write down the number and colour words that contain the sounds.
Before you start, write the date and learning objective in your book:
mercredi quatre février
Can I use phonics to help me spell French words?
Then write each of the phonic sounds, leaving space underneath each to write down the words that have the sound in. Spread them out on your page. The sounds are:
ou eu an oi in/un i on
Now listen to Emilie again, pausing the video when she asks you to think of the numbers and colours that have that sound in. Have a go at writing the words under the right sound then start the video again to check your spelling. Please correct it if you make a mistake. Mistakes are fine! They help us to learn.
We are continuing with our weather learning this week.

Click on Lesson 4 with audio.
On slide 2, weather symbols appear with audio rhyming weather with the place name.
Have a go at this slide several times to help with pronunciation. On slide 7, see if you can give the weather to match the symbol.
Now try the French Weather Puzzle at the bottom of this blog.
To finish, here’s a weather song to listen to and join in with.
Merci beaucoup! A bientôt!
RE
Can I give reasons why we should be a good friend to others?
Listen to a song about friendship e.g. You’ve Got a Friend, Anytime You Need A Friend, Anytime You Need a Friend - Mariah Carey
Watch the YouTube video here, Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.
I have sent a video through Seesaw explaining what today’s task is.
