Hello Year 6!

What a lovely sunny day it is today! How are you all getting on? It was lovely to hear from some of you on my last blog post.

I’m sorry that some of you were missing worksheets the other day- it was a very busy time when I was preparing them! Hopefully you have everything else you need.

If any of you are looking for something extra to keep you occupied, here’s the app I mentioned to you in class when we were talking about learning languages- it’s completely free and you can choose from 35 different languages! (I think Crystal has used it already!)
Its called Duolingo.

You can download it onto phones/ipads.

Just search DUOLINGO in the app store.
You don’t need to set up a profile to use this!

However, if you want to create a profile and save your progress, you will need your parents help- when setting up, after entering your age, it will ask your parents to use their email address. Make sure you get them to do this for you!

Let me know if you give this a go, and if so, what language you choose!

Happy learning!

Laura 🙂

Happy Friday Year 6!

Hope you are all well – I have just been out for a little 3 mile run before blogging you all.

I have uploaded 2 Busy Things assignments for you today:

English – What is an adverb?

Maths – Calculating perimeters of rectilinear shapes.  I am also including a link to the 2017 Maths Reasoning (Paper 2) test – I know this did not get photocopied because the photocopiers were under immense stress on that Wednesday!  You can download the test and answer as many questions on paper.  I will then post the answers on Monday for you to mark your own work…

Music (Charanga) – As it is Friday, Mrs Legg sent me a link for you all to continue with your singing whilst at home – Check out the ‘Fun Friday’ section – ‘The Bonkers Song’…

I have seen lots of you accessing the ‘Busy things’ page and many of you have blogged me. However, there are a few children I have not heard from.  Are any of you in contact with Kane, Abdullah, Aidan, Jez, Lorenzo, Jimi or Adyan?  Just wanting to make sure they are okay – if any of you are in contact with them, please ask them to respond to my blog.

Have a great Friday – I will keep checking this page over the weekend, so if any of you need to message me, I am here.

Morning Year 6,

I hope you are all well.  I decided to make a banana cake yesterday with some overripe bananas I had in my flat.  Have any of you been baking?

I have uploaded 2 assignments on Busy Things today:

English – What is an adjective?

Maths – Calculating perimeters – Level 2.

R.E. – I am unable to upload any R.E. assignments for you on Busy Things, so I have found a really good website that allows you to explore different religions called ‘Espresso Primary – Faiths’.  Follow the link below to access the ‘Buddhism’ page – here you can watch videos, take part in some activities, find out information using the factfiles, print off resources (if you have a printer), look at images and read some books…

Fancy visiting some penguins today?  I have found a link to ‘Penguin Beach’ situated in South Devon.  Here you can watch the penguins using the ‘penguin webcam’.

You may have noticed that Miss Ascough is now blogging too.  Miss Ascough’s blog will appear on a weekly basis, and will include some reflection time activities for you to take part in.

Take care and be good!

Morning Year 6,

Wishing we were all getting ready for our ‘Weekly Mile’ this morning – what a perfect day to run 6 times around the Square.  I may go for a run anyway and pretend that you are all running behind me!

I have uploaded 2 assignments for you today:

English – What are prepositions?

Maths – Calculating areas – Level 2.

Computing – I thought that you could have a go at a ‘Scratch’ activity, so follow this link for a tutorial on how to create a cartoon…

Have any of you created a rainbow picture and put it up in your window yet?  You could use paint, coloured pencils/pens/crayons, or even make a collage using coloured paper.

I know some of you are very keen on your politics, so thought you might like a look inside the Houses of Parliament today!  There are 14 rooms for you to explore – my favourite room is the ‘House of Commons Chamber’ because I really like the wooden gallery.  Which one is your favourite?  Follow this link to see inside…

Missing you all.

Hello Year 6!

I hope you and your families are all safe and well. How are you finding home learning? I can see Miss Cooley is giving you lots of interesting things to do.

At the weekend I did some baking, and have also been trying to learn my ukelele… (I’m not very good!)

What interesting things have you been doing to keep yourselves busy?

I’m looking forward to seeing your rainbows.

Missing you all lots.

Laura 🙂

Morning Year 6,

I am hoping that some of you are taking part in the Joe Wicks P.E. workout as I blog.  If you are unsure how to access this, look at our class page for details.

You have 3 assignments on Busy Things today:

English – Proper and common nouns.

Maths – Are these shapes symmetrical?

Spanish (set by Mr Gonzalo) – Drinks (Spanish).

Fancy a virtual tour around the Natural History Museum?  You can explore the diplodocus to the dodo, botany to butterflies, giant crystals to specimens in jars.

Follow this link to take a look inside…

If you want to be arty today, why not create a rainbow to put up in your window.  Children across the country are doing this to ‘spread hope’ during this difficult time.  Would be nice if you took pictures of these and I will look into a way that you can share these on our blog.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday.  I am missing all of you loads.

Miss Cooley
