TRANSCRIPT
Wednesday 27th May 2020 Dear Parents, We had hoped that we would all be back at school as normal by now, but clearly there is still understandably much anxiety and confusion about the risks, and school will not be operating anywhere near ‘as normal’. As such, many of you have made the choice to continue with home learning and therefore we will continue to provide resources for you to support your child. Please understand that whilst we will continue to provide as much support as possible, the majority of contact will now be with Miss McAuliffe as Mrs Bracken and Miss Batt will be teaching the small group of children who will be attending school. Below we have attached some further home learning activities for you to be able to support your children with their continued education. As previously, the first part of the work has been headed ‘Planned Work’ which means that it is work that has been specifically put together in order to enable the children to cover as much of their intended curriculum work as possible. This includes:
• A code for the children to be able to log in to maths lessons on see-saw
• Codes for the children to able to log in to ‘Story Corner’ on see-saw
• A selection of English work including work related to Pig Heart Boy and ‘Talk for Writing’ booklets (see school website for documents)
• A new topic ‘Blood Heart!’, the activities of which are intended to be worked through over the seven-week half term (see school website for documents) (you will also receive the usual homework project activities which go alongside this)
• PSHE Topic work – Changing Me (documents attached)
• Some maths, grammar and spelling practice on Sum Dog Apologies if this seems like a lot of information in one go, but we have deliberately sent it out in advance so that you will have more of a chance to locate any resources you may need. There are resources required for Science tasks 4 and 7 (and 1 if you are brave!) and all of the Art and Design & Technology lessons. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the PSHE work before sharing it with the children, and in Piece 2, there are suggested books which you may wish to order to provide support for your children in this sensitive topic. The second part is headed ‘Supplementary Work’ which is there really to give you some different activities that the children might find interesting and want to have a go at. This also includes the extra maths work set on Mathletics. I hope this will all make sense. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask – we are, as always, available on our year group email and Facebook page. Also, please let us know if you have forgotten any log in details as we can email them out to you again. Please continue to send in photographs of your child’s work or other activities that they are involved in at home – it is great to see what they are doing. Kind regards, Stay Safe, The Year 6 Team [email protected]
Planned Work
• Maths on see-saw
• Story Corner on see-saw
• English work including work related to Pig Heart Boy and ‘Talk 4 Writing’ booklets
• ‘Blood Heart!’ Topic Work
• PSHE Topic – Changing Me
• Maths, grammar and spelling practice on Sum Dog
See-Saw
Maths Lessons: There will be one maths lesson available per day. The current code for log in is: RXRW TOTQ Story Corner: Here you will find a home-made audio version of Pig Heart Boy which fits with our topic – Blood Heart! Have a look at the blurb below – it’s a great book.
Please see to the right for the log in code for Pig Heart Boy, along with a reminder of how to log in (which also applies to the maths lessons, but with a different code).
Please note, these codes change every seven days for security, but you should not need the new code if you have already logged on. Pig Heart Boy will have English work related to it and complements our topic so it should be part of your daily timetable.
For those of you who would like some more gentle bedtime reading, look out also for these two stories which will be on the same page as War Horse and Private Peaceful with the following code: SMFX IWYW
English: Pig Heart Boy and ‘Talking for Writing’. You will see on the timetables work related to ‘Talk 4 Writing’ Home-School booklets. These can be found on the school website and are really good packs which will give the children a focus to their writing work and allow them to be creative in lots of different ways. You will also have some English activities in the timetable which relate to the story Pig Heart Boy. The children don’t have to do both, unless they choose to. The Pig Heart activities are the planned English teaching to go with the story, but if you have a child who needs more structure, then they could just listen to Pig-Heart and complete the Talk 4 Writing packs as separate English work. If you decide to only use Pig Heart, then these activities will probably continue into the English section on the timetables. NB There are also a few opportunities for optional writing in the Blood Heart topic tasks. Sum Dog: Maths and Grammar practice tasks.
Spelling practice tasks (These will be updated each week) Blood Heart topic work: You will find on the next page a selection of tasks related to our new topic. With the previous topic we allowed flexibility in these activities as they relied very heavily upon having resources available. However, some parents have expressed that they found a more specific timetable useful, so we have included one for each week. However, this is only a guide and you are free to formulate your own order to things which is why we have sent all of the resources in one go – as well as the fact that we will be at school and less available. PSHE topic work
Please see the attached documents with the PSHE planning on.
We have deliberately kept this separate as it is a sensitive topic and you may want to
familiarise yourselves with the material and think about how you want to go about teaching
it before you start it with the children. It has been placed on a Friday afternoon on the
timetable, but obviously, you will want to work this around when you can have an
appropriate time with your child to cover this subject matter.
We have included timetables for six weeks for those of you who find that your child needs
more structure, but you are also free to make this work for you and use it more flexibly. The English will be updated in more detail for later weeks nearer the time, but the
timetables at least give you an overview of how the topics are laid out.

Piece 6 – Transition to Secondary School
Summer 2 Topic (Science Focus)
(related resources can be found on the school website)
This is a fascinating science topic about the function of the heart and the human circulatory system! You
may find it useful to read through the ‘Knowledge Organiser’ before you begin and you can refer to it
throughout. There is also a glossary provided which will help you with any unfamiliar words related to
the topic; this will also give you an idea of the vocabulary you should be able to understand by the end
of the topic. You will need some practical resources for Science Tasks 4 and 7 (and 1 if you’re brave!) and
for all of the Art and Design & Technology which is why we have sent this out early; so you might want
to have a look at those first so that you can get prepared.
Have fun!
Science
Science Task 1 – Heart Dissection!
https://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=heart+dessection#id=1&vid=ca5a5cc6f
1b57709859da39666d59f4a&action=click
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zncg9j6
Have a look at the videos and familiarise yourself with what the heart actually looks like! You
might find it useful to look at a labelled diagram of the heart before watching this video so that you
have an idea what the various sections are!
For those who feel extra brave!!
If you are up for the challenge (parents!) you could source a pig’s heart and try the dissection yourselves!
Can you identify the external features including the major blood vessels such as the aorta and vena cava?
Can you work out how blood flows through the heart by pouring coloured liquid into the vessels one at a
time and noting which vessel the liquid appears out of? (if the liquid doesn’t flow, then the vessel is an ‘out’
vessel and has valves preventing the water flowing the wrong way).
How do the blood vessels entering and leaving the heart look and feel? How thick and tough are they?
Slice the heart carefully using kitchen scissors, to reveal the internal features including the atria, ventricles,
valves and the cord-like chordae tendineae, or heart strings.
Take lots of photographs of the heart during dissection, then upload the images and use a software tool
such as Skitch to label and annotate your photographs. Can’t wait to see the photos!
Science Task 2 – Parts of the Circulatory System
LO: To name and describe the purpose of the circulatory system and the functions of the heart,
blood vessels and blood
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwdr6yc
https://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=animations+of+human+circulatory+sys
tem+KS2#id=1&vid=cb89efe2bd562d656936e1fe3a5c8069&action=click (this video sounds quite
‘young’ but persevere with it as it actually explains the circulatory system quite clearly)
Using these videos, as well as books, online sources or other information you can find, write a few
sentences outlining the function of each of the following:
• The heart
• Arteries
• Veins
• Capillaries
• Blood
• The lungs
If you want to be creative and make it into an information page on the circulatory
system, all the better!
NB For those who may prefer a little more structure, there is, in the collection of resources attached, a
diagram of the circulatory system which can be labelled as well as a ‘fill the gaps’ activity.
https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/labelling_interactives/1-label-the-heart Or, try this interactive heart
labelling activity!
Science Task 3 – Pulse Rates
LO: To make accurate observations/measurements
Learn how to take your pulse accurately using the ‘How to measure your heart rate’ instruction
sheet.
On the sheet it suggests carrying out a ‘Victorian Drill’ to test out the effect of exercise on the
heart rate, but you could choose any exercises you want e.g. skipping, star jumps, jogging,
burpees etc. Carry out the different exercises and each time, measure and record your heartbeat
per minute. Present your results in some form; the simplest way could be a table, but you could
also create a bar chart for example. DON’T FORGET to allow time for your heart to return to its
proper resting rate in between each exercise!
You could take your investigations further if you want to!
For example, you could make comparisons between different people. Test the resting heart rate
of different people and then time each of them running a sprint of a set distance e.g. 50m.
Is there any connection between the person who has the lowest resting heart rate and
the person who can run the fastest?
You could also time how long it takes for different people’s heart rates to return to ‘normal’
following a particular exercise.
Science Task 4 – Components of blood
LO: To explain that the circulatory system in animals transports water, oxygen and nutrients
around the body
If you have some syrup, vegetable oil, red food colouring and milk, then you can MAKE YOUR OWN FAKE BLOOD! Use the How to make blood instruction sheet to help you. It says you
also need a test tube and holder as well as a pipette, but I am sure you can improvise if you don’t
happen to have these at home!
Follow the instructions to look for what each layer represents.
Then complete some research to find out what the function is of each of the following
components:
• plasma
• platelets
• white blood cells
• red blood cells
Who’s up for a challenge?!
Does anybody see themselves as a movie
maker?
Use animation software to create your own stop motion animation to show how blood cells, water
and nutrients are transported around the body. You could use small blob of plasticine or cardboard cut
outs to model the movement of the cells and nutrients. Add a title page and labels for extra information
and scientific effect. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOUR WORK!!!
Science Task 5 – ABO Blood Groups
LO: To ask and answer deeper and broader scientific questions about the local and wider world
that build on their own and others’ experiences and knowledge
So, this lesson involves some detective work.
MISSION: To find out about the ABO blood group system and the dangers of early blood
transfusions (going back in time).
• Identify the four ABO blood groups
• Describes what happens to a blood sample if mixed with blood from a different group
• Write a short report on Austrian physician Karl Landsteiner (1868 – 1943) in distinguishing
the main blood groups.
Useful Links:
• Demand for different blood types – Give Blood • Highlights of transfusion medicine history – AABB • Blood Types – Teens Health • Karl Landsteiner – Famous Scientists
Note: There are some tabs on these sites that link to sexual health – in relation to blood donation.
Science Task 6 – Unhealthy Substances
LO: To explain the impact of positive and negative lifestyle choices on the body
Watch lots of clips and visit websites about how:
Smoking
alcohol and
drugs
can affect the body – including the heart and relationships
CREATE a life-size diagram of a person, annotated with information, diagrams and
warnings.
NB The BBC Bitesize website has age-appropriate clips about the misuse of alcohol, smoking and drugs.
Science Task 7 – Blood Flow
LO: To plan and carry out an enquiry
You are going to investigate how blood flow through different sized vessels.
How could you do this? Any ideas??
OK, so you’re going to need a few things like: some straws,
polystyrene cups, blue tack or plasticine, a red liquid, some lard
or margarine… but don’t worry, the full list of equipment and
instructions are attached as a PDF – Science Task 7, Blood Flow.
Don’t forget! Record your results AND write a conclusion.
Try to make sure you have covered these questions:
• Which straw causes the liquid to drain the quickest, slowest? Why?
• What does this tell you about how blood flows through vessels?
• What is the effect of a blockage on the speed of drainage?
• What do you think would happen if a blockage happened in a real blood vessel?
• How does this link back to our lifestyle choices and healthy eating/smoking, for example?
Science Task 9 – The Future
LO: To ask and answer broader scientific questions about the local and wider world that build on
their own and others’ experiences and knowledge
Consider the rate of medical progress over the last 100 years.
Make some predictions!
How might transplantation and heart health improve in
the future??
Write your predictions on a heart-shaped template.
You could consider the following:
smoking heart health & diet
transplantation
xenotransplantation robotic hearts
Science Task 8 – Fact Files
LO: To name and describe the purpose of the circulatory system and the functions of the heart,
blood vessels and blood
Create a scientific fact file about the heart, blood and circulation.
What would be included? Decide what facts need to be included and check these using a range of scientific source
materials. Include information and resources that you have worked on during the topic.
How will you make it?
Be creative!! It could be an information page, a poster, a poem (an informative one!) or a
booklet.
You could use a computer! In which case, it could also be any of the above, but you might choose
to write it as a report, or create a PowerPoint presentation, or even a film!
Who is your audience? Decide who you’re creating the information for!!
Is it for your parents? For adults to read on a Doctor’s Surgery wall?
For you friends or siblings? For younger children?
Art Task 1 – Modelling the Heart
LO: To create a 3-D form using malleable materials in the style of a significant artist, architect or
designer
Create a 3D model of a human heart using home-made
clay - using flour, vegetable oil, salt and water. You can use
either food colouring or paint (you will only need red and blue).
Now watch the video on how to make the clay:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzcWY83rymI
Next follow instructions in the video on how to
model and create a human heart:
“How to make a human heart with PlayDoh by Tiger Tomato”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl2w60IBoSM
If you do not want to use dough to create a 3D model of the heart
you can use other materials – be creative!
To become familiar with the structure of the heart, why not do some
sketches. Drawing the heart requires a lot of practice! There are lots
of videos that show you how – this one is my favourite with step-by-
step instructions. Good luck!
“Easy trick to draw human heart.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f72mhD8CBO0
Art Task 2 – Blood red Artwork
LO: To create innovative art that has personal, historical or conceptual meaning
Find out about:
Jackson Pollock, Mark Ruthko and Wassily Kandinsky
Why is colour a strong force? How do companies play with our
emotions?
How can lines represent our emotions?
Play the Powerpoint presentation (on school website) to find
out more about abstract expressionist art and create your own
special artwork.
Design & Technology Task 1 – Stethoscopes
LO: To generate, develop, model and communicate ideas
In order to carry out this lesson, you will need some funnels of different
sizes and some plastic tubing of different thickness. If you are unable to
sources these times right now, you could maybe try this another time!
Use the different funnels and tubing to make some different sizes stethoscopes.
Test and record your results for stethoscopes which use:
• Different lengths of tubing
• Different thickness of tubing
• Different sized funnels
Find out the furthest distance at which you can still hear a heartbeat through the tube.
Find out how the sound is transmitted through the tube.
Useful link:
• Stethoscope Project: Check your heart rate - Science Kids
NB If you follow the instructions given here, you will also need some balloons!
Design & Technology Task 2 – Heart-Healthy Foods
LO: To follow a recipe that requires a variety of techniques and to source the necessary
ingredients independently
Follow recipes to make heart-healthy foods.
Group the ingredients into the main food groups first (you may want to photograph this!) before
using them in sequence to create a balanced and nutritious
happy-heart meal.
Note: The British Heart Foundation website contains information about healthy foods and a free app for finding healthy recipes.
Useful links:
• The Eatwell Guide – NHS choices • Healthy recipes – NHS Choices • Healthy kids recipes – BBC good food
Did you know that in the UK, more people die from coronary heart disease than anything else?
The British Heart Foundation is one of a number of charities that encourage people to get involved and raise money to help fight this disease.
What could you do to raise money for a heart charity? Could you do something active? Maybe take on a challenge? Or perhaps design a new
advertising campaign?
Hold a fundraising event to raise money for the British Heart Foundation or another heart charity.
Follow the ‘Innovate Board’ PDF to lead you through this inspiring
and worthwhile innovation task!
NB You will possibly not be able to carry out your fundraising event at the moment –
depending what it involves – but you can still plan it for the future!
Some Optional Extras!
Slogans/Adverts!
Design a slogan or advert encouraging people to give up smoking – or not to start!
Large Scale Models
Create a large-scale model of a heart!
You could use wire, papier mache, recycled materials, paint – all sorts!
Shape Poems
Write a shape poem about the journey of blood through the body!
Heart Rap!
Practise and perform the Heart Rap (PDF attached)
Then, you could even try writing your own!
Biographies
Write a biography about Doctor William Harvey.
