Home Learning - Monday 4th May 2020

A new week of learning and lots of new units of work to start. In English we will be starting Wonder (I am very excited). In maths, I will be starting to teach you again using White Rose materials that you are used to. In history, we will be starting a local history unit of work and in science, focusing our attention on the human life cycle.

I hope you enjoy my introductory video for the week…don’t worry I will appear. Enjoy listening to Space Oddity by David Bowie and hopefully you will see the link to our learning this week. You know what I am like, if we can launch learning in a fun and creative way - then let’s do it!

The first message that we will meet in this book is ‘Choose Kind.’ That is exactly what I would like you to do this week. What acts of kindness can you do for the people who are making sure that you are safe, or for your local community, can you make someone smile. The last half term is called ‘Service with a Smile.’ What can you do to bring a smile to the face of someone else this week? Let me know what acts of kindness you complete!

Year 6 Home Learning - Wednesday 15th April 2020

Happy Wednesday! I hope that you all managed to get into the swing of things yesterday and found your learning feet again.

Those children who have acted as digital leaders this year, I have sent you an email via Purple Mash. I would like to put something together about children keeping safe online whilst they are at home. Have a look at the email and see what you think! There is a little video here to explain how 2email can be used by all of you.

Maths - White Rose Home Learning Week 2 - Lesson 2 Ratio and Proportion Problems

Click on the button below to access the website. Please complete Week 2 Lesson 2 - Ratio and Proportion Problems.

Fluency and Sumdog - Have a go at the fluency board below and the Sumdog multiplication challenge that I have set.

English Romeo and Juliet - Today you are going to write the first two paragraphs of either Romeo or Juliet’s diary - The Balcony Scene - Introductory paragraph summarising the evening and the second paragraph where Juliet appears at her balcony, unaware that Romeo is in the Capulet orchard below.  Romeo is in awe. These are the first two boxes from your planning sheet yesterday. You can choose whether to write as Romeo or as Juliet. Think about the language you will use.

I have found an example that you can use to base your writing on. My example is from Romeo’s perspective. I have left the links below so that you can watch the film again and read the texts again. These will help you to capture the moment.

The PowerPoint below gives an example of my diary and the success criteria for this piece of writing. By the end of the week you will have a completed piece of writing, writing different paragraphs each day, You will then be submitting this piece of writing via Purple Mash at the end of the week. I look forward to reading your writing.

Science - Living things and their habitats. LIFE CYCLES.

Today we are going to start our science topic on Life Cycles. It is quite a big topic as it covers a lot of areas. Today we are going to start with a general introduction and then plants and their life cycles. Have a look at the lesson below and follow the instructions for the tasks.

Photography - In addition to the lesson, I want you to have a go at some photography. This is a really creative skill from our computing curriculum. Have you got any plants or flowers in your garden? What about when you go out on your daily walk? What can you spot? Take some interesting photographs and make them into a photo collage. Email them to me at n.gregan@ourladystarofthesea,lancs.sch.uk or via Purple Mash 2email. Let’s see what a beautiful world we live in. Be creative with your photographs. I have been planting with Alfie over the last few weeks. Have a look at our photographs (we have even managed to grow some vegetables and sunflowers).

Have a fun day of learning!
