Home Learning January 2021.

Hi Year 6.

As you will be aware, the government have announced that we will be learning from home until end of February which we will start on Wednesday 5th January. 

Please login to TEAMS for 8.30 am. This is where we will do the register and go through the work for the day. Once we have finished on teams, you will have the rest of the day to complete the tasks. Not all your time will be on a screen, you will need to remember to take rest breaks away from it and you will be expected to read every day - this must be recorded in your reading record or your book if you have misplaced you reading record. 

Parents can collect CGP books and an exercise book from school for you to complete alongside the online learning. 

Homework will be set on the BGFL platform and you can use the message function on there to talk to your teachers throughout the school day if you need further help. 

The expectation is for you to be completing all work set and saving it so than we can provide you with feedback. 

Take care.

Speak to you soon.

Friday 23rd October 2020

How is it Friday already and half term break! I hope you are all up and ready for assembly on teams at 9am. Mrs Lees has sent your invite for 8.30am and Miss Ledbury and I will be on to ensure you can access it for assembly.

All our work for today will be set out on BGFL. I would like you to all start your morning by looking at the feedback that has been left on your work. Quite a few of you did not manage to complete all the maths reasoning questions yesterday as you did not hit the next slide - please do this today.

Our day will go as follows:

8.30am Log on and check your feedback. Check you can log on to teams for assembly at 9am.

9am 'Celebrations Assembly' 

After assembly, spend some time on letterjoin until we are ready to start maths at 9.30am.

9.30am - 10.15am Our Maths session will begin. Unfortunately, we can not do our 99 club. We can however still do ttrockstars.  We will spend 15 minutes on ttrockstars battling each other.

After ttrockstars, I would like you to complete the MA task I have set you.

10.15am - 10.45am  Break Time!

10.45am - 12 Big Write Session

12 - 12:15 D.E.A.R 'Drop Everything and Read!' and I would like you to write a brief summary of what you have read.

Well done for all your hard work and effort while we have been isolating! I have missed you loads and can't wait until we are back in our classroom together! Have a lovely half term with your family and remember to stay safe! 'Hands, Face, Space'.

Miss O'Rourke xx

Welcome to Y6's 'home learning' page. Here you will find many activities to help you learn from home.

Click on the weeks below to find tasks linked to what we are learning in school.

Thursday 22nd October 2020

Hello Children! Well done on a great day of learning yesterday!

Today all your learning will appear on our learning platform BGFL. All your tasks have been assigned as homework. I will be online, as will Miss Ledbury, to support you with your learning and revisit and give feedback on yesterday's learning.

Miss O'Rourke

Our schedule for today is as follows:

9 am  Register (log onto our group chat and let us know you are there - we will be checking)

9am - 9.15am  Handwriting using our login on the app 'letter join'

9.15am - 9.30am SPaG task

9.30am - 10.15am Maths work

10.15am - 10.45am Breaktime/spending time with your family

10.45am - 11.15am Guided Understanding

11.15am - 12.15pm English Recall (studyzone)/Completion of Writing (I will then aim to discuss and give verbal feedback to everyone linked with their writing)

12.15pm - 12.30pm D.E.A.R 'Drop Everything And Read'

Lunch Time!

1.30pm Back into the group chat for the pm register and to let us know you are back.

1.35pm - 1.45pm Holes has been assigned to homework as a sound file. Open the link and see if you can hear.

1.45pm - 2.15pm RE - We have been learning all about commitment. Go through the questions shared with you in the homework section and discuss these with an adult at home. Share some of the ways you are committed to different things in the group chat, if you feel comfortable to share.

2.15pm - 3pm PE - Now I know you are at home but it is important that we get to move about. For this session you will need some socks! 

Watch the linked video and see if you can make the circle somewhere safely in your house. Can you get around in 20 seconds? Do this a few times. Then using the timer again, roll the socks into a ball and see how many times in 20 seconds you can throw the sock ball up from one hand and then catch it in the other. This will need great co-ordination skills. Then using the socks again along with the timer, I want you to pass the socks around your waist so they circulate your body by your tummy. How many times can you pass it around in 20 seconds without dropping them? If you can think of a further activity using the socks, share it in the group chat.

https://youtu.be/c9lm8Y7koqE

3pm - 3.30pm Reading. I have shared a link with you on the home learning platform where you can read this weeks copy of the first news. 

3.30pm Finish for the day.

If your times vary do not worry! Do however aim to complete all your work.

Miss O'Rourke

Wednesday 21st October 2020

Hello to my lovely group! I am so sorry I can't be with you all today, but I will see you all very soon and hopefully talk to you over the next couple of days.

For your home learning today, I would like you to work on the following for Maths, Guided Understanding and Writing...

Miss O'Rourke

Anything you are unsure of, I will aim to help you with on our BGFL learning platform.

Maths Recall

Complete the following calculations for your recall:

3453 x 27 =                  987.34 x 86 =

6734 x 78 =                  876.3 x 42 =

786 x 34 =                    982 x 45 =

897 x 56 =                    762 x 67 =

Remember '0' as a place holder when multiplying by the multiple of '10'.

Please use the method we have been focusing on.

Maths - Main Session

The start of today's session is a quick recap on short division.

Extension - can you complete the following?

These questions can be answered in full sentences on the BGFL platform using J2e5.

Here you can type up your answers and then press save (the 3rd red button along from the left). Save the file as Guided Understanding 21.10.20. 

English:

We have been working on our report of 'The Great White Shark' in our English books.

I would like you to begin writing this at home considering the structure and language we have encountered.  I would like you to complete your introduction, description and location paragraph. I am looking forward to reading them!

I will expect to see these when we return to school!

Reminder: there are some useful videos on our class page to support you with ideas.

Additionally, I would like you to log on to studyzone for your recall. Spend some time recapping on the different tenses and word classes.

Keep up the amazing effort in your writing - I am so proud of you all!

Spanish

Click on the power point and and see if you can recall the months of the year and days of the week.

Victorian Inventions

Use the power point and click on the links to watch the videos and access the webpages. Here you will learn all about different invention during the Victorian era. Choose one of the inventions to then create an advertising campaign for it. Create a persuasive poster explaining all about your invention highlighting how it will change the users life. Then you will need to create a short speech selling the idea to the investors. 

Both of these can be created and submitted using J2e5 on our learning platform. You can record your speech and save it on J2e5. We will then look at these and provide you with feedback.
