Hi Y6.

Here is your home learning for the week. Next week, it is half term, so you will be able to have a break.

RE

This activity is from our Come and See scheme on being a witness to Jesus’ resurrection. Please look at the picture and read the passage from scripture  and then have a go at the questions. There is also a writing task to have a go at if you would like. You can upload your work to Google Classroom.

The document has uploaded sideways again (sorry!) so it might be better to print it off if you can or look at it on a tablet.

Maths

This week, we are going to go back to the Oak Academy lessons.

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-6/maths#subjects

We would like you to complete the five lessons on missing angles and lengths. They are numbered 1 – 5.

You should do one lesson per day and, this week, please can you add a daily comment to your private comments for the Oak Academy task to tell us how you got on. We would particularly like to know what you found tricky and how you tried to overcome this. Use a note book to write down your answers as the lesson goes on.

There is also a little quiz for you to complete. This has been put together from some of the questions you suggested before Easter. (It’s taken Mrs Clements this long to work out how to use the quiz section! Sorry!) I hope you enjoy it! There are a maximum of 12 points available. It isn’t cheating to use your knowledge organiser to check.

There will be a TTRS battle between our class and Miss Cheetham’s class from Tuesday morning until 4pm on Thursday. Lets win this one!

Science

Here is this week’s suggested fun activities from the Primary Science Teacher Trust

This is optional.

History

This week we will look at a range of primary sources of evidence (evidence created at the time of the event or by people who were there) to establish what it was really like to be evacuated during the war. Lots of children from Sheffield were evacuated to safety at the start of the Second World War.

School children from different cities at risk were sent to live with foster families in the safety of the country until the war was over. Many children returned home when the threat of bombing seemed less, but this did mean that some children were evacuated many times through the duration of the war.

The children from the city experienced a totally new way of life in the country. For the people in the country, too, having so many outsiders coming into their area was a major event.

  1. Read/watch the different accounts of evacuation (see links below plus attachments on google classroom) – making a note of any positive and any negative experiences each person had. It is important to hear a few different accounts of evacuation as everybody experienced something different. Watch Mrs Campbell’s video clip, listen to the radio footage and read Derek Clifton’s interview.  There are two more attachments in google classwork too.

Radio footage – https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/history-ks2-world-war-2-clips-interviews-with-evacuated-children/zdcjkmn

2. Complete the sheet from the classwork section called ‘What was it like to be evacuated during the war?’ Then attach it to the classwork section.

There will be a fun quiz after the holiday!

Maths

This week, we are going to use BBC Bitesize for our maths lessons.

There is one My Maths activity on Fractions that we have used before. Please do it again so that we can keep an eye on how you are getting on.

Finally, as we have said, it would have been your SATs week this week. We would like you to have a go at the 2019 arithmetic paper! Remember you have a maximum of 30 minutes to complete it.

Y6 Memories

It’s that time of year when we ask all of you to look back at your Y6 experience – even though it’s not over yet! Take time to think back over the year. Please can you give us up to 5 highlights? These could be something you did at The Oakes; a sporting achievement; nativity; a trip; a Y6 role you have enjoyed. Next, can you give us something you are proud of? This might be something to do with your learning; sport; an award. Again, up to 5. Please write them down and post in the google classroom – classwork.

Don’t forget your photos for Mrs McLoughlin!

Physical Activity (from Mrs Pearson)

Daily mile – or more if you want to push yourselves!

I enjoy running – it keeps me fit and gets me out in the fresh air. My son has started to run with me. It’s a bit annoying as he never seems to get hot and out of breath, whereas I do! I know lots of you enjoy running and even if you don’t, you could try the next challenge by speed walking, jogging or even scooting.

The Mile Challenge: Can you measure out (approximately) a mile in your garden? 1 mile is approximately equal to 1,500m. Try running, jogging or speed walking the route. Or run for a mile up and down your street or around your local area. How long did it take you?

If you don’t have a racket throw a ball against a wall and catch the ball. How many repetitions can you do? How high can you throw the ball?

Let us know if you complete the challenge!
