Reminder! Today is the deadline for the Spirited Arts Competition

When you are completing your work, think carefully about if a judge would be impressed by your entry – is it original/unique? Is it of a high quality? Is your short explanation clear? Have you re-read the theme you chose and checked it fulfils the requirements?

When you do upload your work to Showbie, is it a good quality photo/video that shows off your fabulous work? You might want to get an adult at home to take the photo/video to make sure it’s really clear and in focus.

• Reading – Complete 30 minutes of activities on Reading Plus. Have you managed to complete (at least) 5 reading, 1 vocabulary and 1 visual skills assignments?
• Purplemash – 2do Y6 Questionnaire – Answer the questions to give us an insight into your interests.
• Maths – Here are the answers to yesterday’s converting length questions: Converting Length Answers
• Adding and subtracting mixed numbers. Watch the videos, complete the activities and quizzes for a refresher on fractions!  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zfp4kmn
• English – Apostrophes – read the comic strip based on apostrophes. https://dekkocomics.com/issue-2-vocabulary-english-1 Can you create your own comic strip using apostrophes for omission, possession and plural possession? Extra points if you are able to get this week’s spelling words in too! (government, parliament, temperature, vegetable, mischievous, restaurant, environment, recognise, queue, available, system)
• Spanish – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOg6y-Q59eM Watch the video about las partes del cuerpo, parts of the body! Try to join in with the song and you might want to pause/rewind the video to practise the pronunciation. Once you have watched the video and got used to the words, draw a cartoon version of yourself and label the body parts in Spanish.
• Computing – Think before you share!
• Children love sharing things online, from pics of their cat to a funny video they want all their friends to see. The trouble is, some children sometimes don’t understand that what they post online can still be seen by someone far into the future, or that some things are best kept private.

Thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs middle:

• Read each scenario out loud. Ask each family member to give a thumbs up if they think it is OK to share. A thumbs down if it is not OK to share. A thumbs middle if it depends. Each time, ask one person to explain their choice to the rest of the family.

1. Sharing a picture on social media of your best friend pulling a silly face.
2. Sharing a video because you think it is funny, but it turns out people find the joke mean and someone gets upset.
3. A stranger in an online gaming chat forum asks for your mobile phone number and home address.
4. Your best friend is coming over for a sleepover but has forgotten your home address, so they message you and ask for it.
5. You have accidentally shared too much information that was personal with a stranger and now you are worried about it. Should you tell someone?
6. Sharing a funny cat video in a friends’ chat group.
7. Posting a photo of yourself online in school uniform with the school logo and name showing.
8. Posting your home address in a messaging group with people that you’ve never met in person.

Once you have done this, play the game Mindful Mountain here, all about who you should and shouldn’t be sharing certain information with: https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_us/interland/landing/mindful-mountain

• Maths – Converting units of length. How many millimetres (mm) are in 1cm? How many centimetres (cm) are in 1m? How many metres (m) are there in a kilometre (km)? Today we are focusing on converting units of length. Complete the conversion sheet here.

Challenge*:Estimate a journey for example from your house to Asda. Using Google maps, type in your two destinations and find out the distance. This might show the distance in miles. 1.6km is approximately 1mile. Can you convert the distance into km? Once you’ve converted to km, convert this measurement into metres. Explain why km is preferred to measure long distances as opposed to m, cm or mm.

• Reading – The Suffrajitsus Chapter 2. On Purple Mash read chapter 2 of the story and then answer the questions about what happened in this chapter. These have been set as 2Dos. We suggest you click on the icon at the top left that says PDF – this will open the text in a new tab, meaning you can refer back to the text while you are completing the quiz.
• Maths – Here are the answers to yesterday’s sheets:

Compound shapes answers

rectangles_area_perimeter answers

What are the properties of a parallelogram? Complete the assignment on Maths Watch on finding the area of parallelograms. Make sure you watch the video first and follow the formula:

• English – To complete this task, you need to have done the reading activity first as it is based on chapter 2 of the Suffrajitsus.

Imagine that you are Ethel. How are you feeling about being in on your mistress’s secret? Are you worried about how to act around your master? What can you do to help your mistress fight for what she believes in? Write a diary about your day. This has been set as a 2do. Use the prompts in the ‘Think about’ menu to help you.

• Science – Today you will be investigating shadows. Firstly watch this video: http://bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z8vfb9q Shadows are formed when light (which is travelling in straight lines) is blocked by an object.

Have a look at this concept cartoon and predict who you think is correct.

Investigation: How can we change the size of a shadow?

Resources: torch, small opaque object (a toy or an apple perhaps), ruler, white card/plain wall (but be very careful not to mark or damage the wall – ask your parents/carers for help if you need!)

Fair test: You can only move one thing and keep everything else the same to keep your results accurate. For example, you could move the torch and keep everything else the same. Or you could move the opaque object and keep everything else in the same place.

Make sure you are working scientifically and using your ruler to make measurements at each step of the investigation:

Once you have taken different measurements and seen what happens to the size of the shadow, write a short explanation about what you have found out about how the distance of the light source from the object affects the size of the shadow. In your explanation, please refer back to the concept cartoon above and say who is correct and whether your prediction was correct. We’d love to see some photos of your investigation on Showbie to go with your explanation! Instead of writing, you might want to do a video explanation of what you found out!

• Music – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zcbkcj6/articles/z3yfng8 Watch the videos and read the information on duration and tempo. There is some really interesting information about Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony – I’m sure you will recognise it when you hear it!

• Reading – Well done for completing the In-Sight Assessment on Reading Plus. We’re super proud of how much progress you’ve made since you started, so keep it up! Today, we would like you to continue with your fabulous work and complete 30 minutes of activities. How many combos can you get?!
• Maths – This week, we are going to be focusing on measure. Today, you will be finding the area and perimeter of rectangles and compound shapes. Remember, to find the area inside the shape: base x height. To find the perimeter, you need to add up the measurements around the outside of the shape. We like to think of the perimeter like a fence going around your garden! Here is a video to remind you how to calculate the area and perimeter of rectangles: https://youtu.be/rSVMrPu0__U

Area and perimeter of rectangles sheet.

Here is a video to remind you how to calculate the area of compound shapes: https://youtu.be/JEx4dOY6-wE?t=13

We will upload the answers tomorrow. 

• English – Diaries are a type of recount. Here is some basic information about some of the features of a recount: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z2yycdm/articles/zgfhcj6

Here are some more features of Diary Entries and an example: Diary Features

Today we would like you to write a diary entry about your time during lockdown. This has lasted quite a while so you may want to do it in one of the following ways:

• • A diary entry for a particular day you remember quite well (this should be a day where quite a bit happened – we DON’T want to read: “Dear Diary, Today, I got up and had a piece of toast, and then I did my online learning, and then I had lunch, and then I played XBox, and then I had tea, and then I watched the TV, and then I went to bed.”!
  • A diary entry summarising your time at home in lockdown, mentioning some key events that have happened over the past few weeks.

This has been set as a 2Do on Purple Mash, or you might want to upload your work to Showbie.

• Spelling – Autumn 2 HFWs practice: government, parliament, temperature, vegetable, mischievous, restaurant, environment, recognise, queue, available, system.

We will be testing these words on Thursday on Purple Mash so make sure you revisit these during the week.

Choose different multisensory ways to practise your spellings this could be: saying the spelling aloud while clapping the letters; rainbow writing, using different colours on top of each other going over the letters of the spelling word; writing on a wall with a paintbrush and water; typing the word out numerous times in different colours or fonts; or you might have your own ideas.

• RE – Spirited Arts competition – To go with your entry, please do a short piece of writing explaining what you have created. There are ideas for sentence starters on this document. You can type your explanation straight into Showbie.

Friday is the deadline for the competition, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to finish! 

When you are completing your work, think carefully about if a judge would be impressed by your entry – is it original/unique? Is it of a high quality? Is your short explanation clear? Have you re-read the theme you chose and checked it fulfils the requirements?

When you do upload your work to Showbie, is it a good quality photo/video that shows off your fabulous work? You might want to get an adult at home to take the photo/video to make sure it’s really clear and in focus.
