Hi Year 6,
Here is an online learning pack for any children that are self-isolating. You can also scroll down this page, which is full of lots of work. If you have any worries about anything, please email me through the class 6 email address.
This pack includes maths, grammar and punctuation and also some reading.
Each day I will be updating this page with activities and work that your child can complete from home. A pack of resources has been sent home so that your child has the resources to complete the work. Children have also been given an email address so that they can contact a member of staff if they are struggling with any work provided.
Please check in each day as answers to previous work will be uploaded and new work will be provided on a daily basis.
Don't worry if you are struggling to keep up - just do what you can, and please make sure that you plan in time to rest, relax and socialise online with friends. Enjoy this new way of learning and remember, we are here if you have any worries.
Mrs Ingham, Miss Gillies, Miss Coggan
Please note, if your child works with Miss Savillie for Literacy, your work will be on Miss Saville's 'Year 6 Group' on the Home Learning page. However, please check into this page from time-to-time for other activities that you will be able to access for theme work.
If your child works in the Nurture Group, please go to the Nurture Group on the Home Learning page.
If your child is in Miss Green's group for maths, they will have been issued a learning pack to start and they have their own page called Miss Green's Maths Group in the Home Learning box.

Activities

Create a poster promoting justice and equality.
Leaflet/PowerPoint
Make up a leaflet or a PowerPoint explaining to others how we can all stand up for people being treated unfairly around the world.
Statue in Leeds City Centre
There has been lots of information in the news this week, about statues being taken down as they promote and celebrate the lives of people that have contributed to the suffering of black people in the past.
Statues are erected to help others remember them in the future. They are usually people that have been seen to make a difference in the world or that have done something amazing. However, as we look at some of the statues in our country today, we realise they may have been influential people, but for the wrong reasons.
Can you choose a person of influence, that you think deserves a statue of them being created and put up in Leeds City Square.
Song
Songwriters often write songs about emotional events in their lives. It helps to release their feelings and their words create images of these feelings. Could you write a song about the events happening around the death of George Floyd?
Prayer
To write a prayer related to the PowerPoint above.
Newspaper Report
We are seeing lots of very upsetting newsreports of violence, hatred, destruction at the moment. Could you write a newspaper report of something good that is happening in the world at the moment; something that involves difference races coming together and supporting one another.

Goodmorning All,
I hope you have enjoyed your half term holidays and are ready to get back to learning. You will notice that I have put work up for the week instead of daily. This is because some children will be back in school this week, so if you begin back at school next week, you will be working from home on the activities on the website. Those who are in school this week, will do activities in school and will complete this work next week. Some children are not returning to school; if you are one of these children, you will complete these activities over 2 weeks and will need to watch out for some of the school activities over the next 2 weeks being uploaded. Due to the work being on a 2 weekly cycle, answers will not go up until the following week so remember to go back and mark your work at a later date. Have a great week and remember we are here to help if you have any issues. Mrs Ingham x

This week, we are are going to try and create the same effect through our use of language.

2) How does the dinosaur show its emotions when the fox falls in the water?
3) Why does the dinosaur cover its eyes as it jumps off the table?
4) What words do you think are going through the dinosaurs mind at this point?
5) How do you think the fox is feeling when it sees the dragon unravelling?

Good morning Year 6 - well done for all your hard work again this week. Lots of you are still completing the work on a daily basis, and this will really help you when you start high school in September. You've only 2 days to go up until the Easter holidays where I will be setting an Easter Challenge for you all. If you have any ideas of a competition or activities that you would like to do, then please let me know. I would also love to see your diary writing from this week, so please send me them via email.
You may have heard about the new Nightingale Hospital in London, that has been built over the last week, and they are asking for bright pictures to hang on the walls to brighten up the hospital. Please could you send any pictures to me and I will pass them on to the hospital. Pictures need to be A4 size as they will be laminated, so if you get a minute, it would be great if you could make one for me to send to them.
I found this challenge online yesterday and saw lots of adults struggling to solve it; however, I know that most of you will be able to solve the problem. Look really carefully as it isn't quite as straightforward as it first looks, and email me when you think you have worked out the answer. Happy problem solving!

Writing - To write a letter or create a poster to make someone working in our emergency services smile. Once you have finished these, you can either post them yourselves or email them to me and I will make sure they get to the amazing people working in our hospitals. You can write your letter to the doctors, nurses, porters, paramedics, catering teams or domestic staff working in the hospitals. They are doing an amazing job and it would be lovely for them to receive a letter of encouragement showing how grateful we are for their hardwork or a motivational poster to be displayed around the wards.
