YR 6 DISTANCE LEARNING MATERIALS

FRIDAY 27TH MARCH 2020

 

ENGLISH/HUMANITIES:

 

Today we are going to be drafting a report on an animal from the Rain Forests of South America.  I've put together a slide show and I'd like you to look that over.  Then I'd like you to review the documents attached.  You will have noticed that during the week, I've asked you to find out about some of the animals of this region.  Today, you are going to produce your own animal report on the creature of your choice.  Have you ever heard of the Pootoo bird?   The only rule is that it has to be an animal found only in South America.  

 

I've included some links to a Youtube film which shows you how to illustrate some of these creatures.

These materials are provided for all Yr 6 Pupils at South Wootton Junior School.  These pupils have been granted to our School Email system and are welcome to submit finished work and seek guidance from teaching staff, should they need help.

 

Parents from other schools are very welcome to download these materials and make use of them.

 

TO ACCESS EACH DAY, SIMPLY SCROLL DOWN.  THE OLDEST ENTRIES ARE AT THE BOTTOM.

  • ARCHER FISH By the way, if you thought that the Piranha was interesting, wait until you see this film:

Who needs teeth, when you've got intelligence?

 

If you have any questions about this, just get in touch with me through the usual channels.

 

You will notice that I've sent out an email asking you just to open but not reply.  I'm just running a test to see who is on-line and try to work out who's having problems.  

 

Maths will follow from Ms Bland shortly.  Please remember to only use the FRIDAY ANY QUESTIONS?  Email chain.  Can I also ask that you keep your emails to a minimum.

 

I will try to get the last of the Film Review feedback reports out to you.  Thank you to all those who agreed to share.  It was a great pleasure working with you this week. 

 

Additional Activities:

 

Reading your Accelerated Reader - If you have a younger brother or sister, or a pet, try reading to them.  Brodie is a sucker for Detective Stories

Hit the Button - Halves.  Try to keep going until you get over 30 on one section before moving on.  Challenge your parents! 

Do some Research on the Titanic.  You never know when you might need it (as in next week!).

 

The answers for the Spelling Crosswords are also shown above.  Next week we will be trying out some new words, all linked to our topic.   Have a good day and thank you, again, for all of your hard work.  Best wishes,  Mr Taylor.  

FRIDAY 27TH MARCH 2020 - DISTANCE LEARNING MATERIALS

THURSDAY 26TH MARCH 2020

 

I'll start by echoing Ms Bland's message yesterday.  I have never been more proud of a Yr 6 group than I am of you all.  I have been stunned by how mature, confident and independent you have all been.  I've taught some good kids in years gone by, but you take the prize!  I hope someone gives you some recognition for what you've done when this is over.  You deserve it.   

 

MATHS:  

 

See the attached worksheet from Ms Bland, below.

 

 

26TH MARCH 2020 ENGLISH AND MATHS WORK SCHEDULE

ENGLISH:

  1.  Have you finished the Grammar from Monday?  
  2. Writing - Have you finished your Film Review?  Look at the feedback given to some of our pupils.  Use this advice to help yourself.
  3. Spelling.  On Monday you were asked to select up to 10 words to work with.  Attached, are printable crosswords.

WED 25TH MARCH 2020- YR 6 GROUP WORK FOR TODAY

 

Good Morning All,

 

By now I will assume that you have all tried the Joe Wicks Workout.  If not, stop reading and Youtube it!

 

Back again?  Good.  Here is the schedule for today:

 

MATHS:  Maths work will follow shortly.  I'm just putting the last pieces together.  Not to worry because English is big!

 

WRITING:  

 

Brodie has been busy.  See her second draft, above, which shows you the standard you need to work towards in Yr 6.  She asked me to thank you all for your input.  You will see little ideas of yours all through the work.  Thank you.  Don't forget, it is not just a summary of the story.  You have to tell me who directed it, who was in it, what the acting and special effects (if any) were like.  Finally, I need you to tell me how it made you feel.  If it is your favourite film you have to persuade me to want to see it.  You are very welcome to type this out on a computer if you have one, or write it out and then send in a photo.  I'd like to see what you've managed to do.    

 

SPANISH:


 

We will be using Spanish from time to time in our Emails, and so it is time to start revising those greetings.  I've enclosed the Spanish Booklet (I know it is for Yr 4 -- but we are just beginners).  I'd like you to practice the greetings, which you will find on Pages 3 and 4.  If you can't print them, either type them out as a document or do this as a handwritten exercise on paper.   

 

READING

 

I would like you to read a chapter from your Accelerated Reader book to your parents.  If they are not too busy, I’d be grateful if they could ask you some questions about your book. 

 

What is it about?  Who are the characters?  Where is it set?  How do you think it will end and why (you will need to use Point, Evidence and Explanation).  If they are too busy, just read to yourself but think about having a mind map bubble to make notes.  Our target is for you to be taking a quiz on Accelerated Reader, soon.  Electronic books are coming your way in the near future.

Tuesday 24th March 2020

Please email your teacher if you get stuck.    

 

MATHS:

See the attached Maths Sheet, set up by Miss Bland.  The answers will be issued toward the end of the day. 

 

ENGLISH: 

Today we are going to start planning or film review.  I’ve enclosed a copy of our model pupil, Brodie’s, first draft and I’d like you to read it over and see if you can offer her any advice on how to improve it.  

 

Be nice—she tried very hard.   

 

Can you spot any places where she could add more to her delivery of ideas?  Can you see any places where she can express herself a little more efficiently?  She is sitting by my desk and awaiting your feedback.    She tells me that she thinks she can do better.  What do you think?

 

HUMANITIES:


 

GEOGRAPHY:


 

These are some pretty large tasks, so please don't think I expect them all to be done in one day.  The Geography activity will include learning about the Geography of South America.  It will also include some Reading Comprehension.  There are Green, Yellow and the RED (hardest) challenges.  You can complete a map of South America, illustrate the structure of a Rain Forest and find out all about the Piranha Fish.  If you think this is an interesting creature, just wait until tomorrow's lesson!

 

ART:

 

If you didn’t try the Wolf Art Activity yesterday, you might want to try that first as this exercise is on the next level.

 

MATERIALS FOR 24TH MARCH 2020

Additional options:

 

 

  • If you are using a computer with a keyboard, try Touch Typing practise on    BBC Dancemat Touch Typing .  Do turn up the volume so your parents can hear.  I don't see why I should be the only one to suffer that goat!  
  • Nessy Phonics for those with accounts
  • Tackling Tables (get in touch with me if you can't find your log in  details)​
 
Have a great day and be nice to each other.  Best wishes, Mr T.  

MATERIALS FOR TUESDAY 24TH MARCH 2020

Monday 23rd March

Morning tasks

9:00am         PE: Joe Wick’s live workout on the ‘Body Coach TV – You Tube’

Maths: Revision of multiplication

1.Complete the attached questions on plain or squared paper. Think about if each question is mental or written and consider the most the effective strategy for each.

2.Mark your own questions using a calculator. If there are any mistakes, can you work out what you’ve done wrong. If not, ask any adult.

3.Once completed, move onto the multiplication problems. The answers are also attached (don’t be tempted to peek until you’ve completed them).

4.Please stick in all work with the date and heading: Multiplication revision in your Home Learning book.

 

English:

If you have been in school the last few days, please complete the writing task set (draft and neat copy). If not………

 

READING:   A reading task will be sent to you on a separate email, which will come to you shortly.  

 

SPELLING:  

 
The Spelling List for Yr 5/6 is attached.  I'd like you to pick out your next ten words from these.  Practice them and look at the 'Fun Spelling Activities Book' for ideas about how you can vary this.  Don't just do pyramids and meanings!  Have a little more fun with it.  
 
Mrs Riggs Group can choose 5 words from this list and start work on them.  I think you are ready!
 

 

 

 

GRAMMAR:
 
We will start with a little revision of Present Perfect and Simple Past Tenses.  You can view the slide show if you need help, or just go for it if you feel confident.  We can do the first one together:
 
I............................(see) three police cars this morning. (it's still morning).
 
We have to re-write this out (Joined and with correct punctuation, please).
 
It is still the morning and so we are going to use Present Perfect.
 
Our answer would be:   
 
 
I can see three police cars this morning.  (They are still there, right in front of you).
 
After he ........................... (arrive)  home he ............................ (unpack) and .................(go) to bed, early.
 
This sounds like all of the action has been finished.  You can't arrive, unpack and go to bed all at the same time.  
 
We need to put this one into the Simple Past.  You remember that we need to change all of the verbs into the past tense.  
 
​WRITING:
 
This is our Writing Task for the end of this week.  You won't be able to do all of this in one day.  
 
I don't know if you aware of this, but there is a job called Film Critic.  They get paid to go to the cinema, watch films for free and all they are expected to do is to write a
Film Review.  They get to see all of the new films, meet the actors and have their pictures taken.  Some even get to have their own TV Shows.  They get paid to do this!  
 
Your Challenge:  Watch a film with your parents.  You can either hand write or type an email with your review to share with the class.  
 
Think about the quality of the plot.  Was it interesting or could you tell what was going to happen even before you sat down (eg Bond Villain base is blown up at the end).  Just give a short summary of what happened.  You don't need to go into too much detail.  Use the Third Person Singular Tense (as below):
 
Bond is called into M's Office and told to investigate the loss of some secret plans.  He is given a set of new spy equipment including a bowler hat which makes him invisible.
 
He lands in Sau Paulo in Brazil and makes contact with the villain's girlfriend.  He drives her to the villain's base in his Aston Martin but is captured and held prisoner.  He breaks out using his bowler hat and is able to outwit the villain.  The base is blown up and he leaves with the villain's girlfriend.  
 
What was the quality of acting like (were they any good?).  Who were the actors and what other films have they been in?
 
What were the 'Production Values' like.  Eg was the CGI well-done, or was it a little old fashioned (eg could you still see the strings holding the model spaceship up?).
 
Finally, write me a conclusion.  Will seeing this film change my life (eg Frozen) or will it just be entertaining?    Have fun with that...
 

 

 

In addition to the task set above, please complete the following:

  • one of the reading challenges (see Reading Bingo sheet - to follow shortly)
  • times tables practice (see list of websites)

 

Afternoon tasks

Some ideas:

  • art  How to draw a Wolf - the artist is American and uses 'awesome' a great deal -- but he means well.  Youtube how to draw a wolf realistically
  • cooking (see parents for recipes)
  • science experiment (see attached websites)
  • learn a new skill e.g. skipping
 
 
REMEMBER, IF YOU GET STUCK AT ANY TIME, JUST EMAIL ME, MISS  BRUMMIT OR MISS STRUDWICK.  We will be supporting all of the children in the school who are working from home -- so you won't always get an answer straight away.  However, we'll get back to you as quickly as we can.  
 
 
INTERACTIVE GAMES/LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
 
See the 'Website' Document attached for a number of interactive games and learning activities.
