Literacy

Create a memory wall of all the things that you have already accomplished and all that you have done. On the other side it will be a dream wall so place things that side that you want to achieve in the next week, month or even years in advance.

Think really carefully about what you do want to achieve and what you hope to be successful in.

Extension:

Literacy

 You are going to create your own time capsule – include items from this year that have made it different eg face mask, hand sanitiser etc and write a letter to a stranger or to yourself if you plan on digging it up in a few years time. Discuss all of the ways that this year has had an impact on you, how you have felt, what you haven’t been able to do, what it has made you appreciate more etc.

 

Then find a container and bury it (with your parent/guardian’s permission.)

Today in maths, have a go at completing the investigation below:

Think about the shapes that you can instantly work out.

Using the following link: Primary to Secondary Transition Activity for Year 6 (mindmoose.co.uk)

This is all about you coming to terms with teh changes that you are about to go through and allows you time to process this transition. When it says work in groups you could perhaps phone your friends and discuss things that way with someone and share your thoughts and feelings. Just be cause we are isolating doesn't mean you have to be doing it alone!

You all have your purple mash log ins - please continue with the work that we began on blogging - if you need your username and password please let me know in the morning session! Your blog can be on anything appropriate that you have a direct interest in and I very much look forward to reading them!

• solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to three decimal places where appropriate
• solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
• use estimation to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, an appropriate degree of accuracy

 AWARDS
This year we have incorporated the Learning Passport within a document that recognises children’s achievements in school and the wider community. What is expected in order for children to achieve their ’Ambassador Award’ comes under 4 headings: 

• Citizenship
• Relationships
• Learning
• Behaviour and conduct

Each section has elements that underpin the values that as a school we hold dear. We believe that learning is something that continues every minute of the waking day and it is important to recognise children’s achievements not only in lessons but beyond. Adults in school will discuss each section with the children and how they can meet the criteria identified; we are hoping that the children will be able to take some ownership of the passport themselves!Have a look at the Ambassador leaflet to find out more and look through 'Steps to Success' passport the Year 6 children will be working through this year to help them achieve their Ambassador Awards!
