Mr Brinkworth Mrs Book Mr Melville Maths - Investigations This week, we have set you a selection of maths investigations that will get you thinking mathematically! Can you solve them all? Task 1 - HEXAGONS: Look at the ‘hexagons’ investigation. Copy down the table as shown and use matchsticks or use a ruler to draw the hexagons to help you fill out the answers. If you are feeling confident, have a go at the challenge – remember that ‘n’ means ‘number of hexagons’. Task 2 - JOIN THE DOTS: Look at the ‘join the dots’ investigation. Copy down the table as shown and then draw the dots and connect them with a ruler as described – remember that every dot must be connected to every other dot (e.g. for the dots, draw them in a triangle so that you can connect them all). Task 3 - TIME: Look at the selection of ‘time cards’. Your task is to write a list of all the different amounts of time in order, from the shortest amount of time at the top of your list, to the longest amount of time at the bottom – remember, for many of the time cards, you will need to work out how long it actually is (e.g. how long does it take to boil an egg? How long is 1 million seconds?) Task 4 - SPIRALS: Look at the ‘spirals’ investigation. Look at the example spiral first and make sure you understand the rule – ‘Move forward a certain number, then turn right 90 ֯ (a right angle)’. Using a ruler, draw a new spiral for each of the new sets of instructions. – remember, measure 1cm for each forward move or, use squared paper if you have it. After you have had a think about the questions, look at the answer and test out the rule! Task 5 - INTERSECTING STICKS: Look at the ‘sticks’ investigation. Copy down the table as shown, then use a ruler to draw the sticks to find out the answers. If you have the game ‘Pick up sticks’ or something similar, you can test it out with real

sticks! Remember, the word ‘intersection’ means ‘the point where two lines meet or cross over’ Task 6 - PERIMETER FENCES: Look at the 1-star ‘perimeter fences’ investigation. Using a ruler, draw some 3cm x 3cm grids in pencil (just like a noughts and crosses grid) – if you have squared paper, you can use that instead. In a different colour, draw your 12m fences, using 1cm for every 1m of your fence. Find out how many different ways the garden could be divided. For an extra challenge, try the 3-star fence investigation!

Art - Draw something familiar from an unfamiliar angle PE - Tennis and Gymnastics w/c 18th May 2020 Writing - Narrative - The Rainforest This week we will be linking our writing to our topic in geography. Your task will be to write a narrative piece of writing located in a tropical rainforest. You will need to use your knowledge of climates to be able to describe the setting in detail. Task 1 - Remind yourself of the excellent features of narrative writing. Read the excellent example we used for ‘The Emergency Zoo’ earlier in the year. Use this

genre checklist to find all the excellent features in the writing. Use coloured pens/pencils/highlighters to annotate the features. Task 2 – Watch this 360º ‘virtual’ video, ‘Under the Canopy’. http://www.viewpure.com/5JvJCvdqvYs?start=0&end=0 The best way to watch it is through an iPad or smartphone. If you don’t have access to these, you can use your computer mouse to look around. After watching it once, watch it again and pause the video to note down anything you can see and hear. Imagine what you will be able to feel and touch as you make your way through the rainforest. Use these words mats (mat 1, mat 2) to help build your vocabulary. Task 3 – Plan your narrative using this planning template. Can you plan for the challenge features? You could use the character, Kamanja, from the video or create your own characters – it’s up to you! Remember you will need a clear build up, dilemma and resolution. Task 4 – Write your narrative. Don’t forget to use all of the wonderful vocabulary and sentences you built during task 2. Try and include as many of these narrative features as possible in your writing. Task 5 – Edit your writing in a different coloured pen/pencil. Assess your writing against this checklist. Reading Task 1 - Read this text, How to Fight Climate Change .

The Abacus textbooks are now available as FREE E-books through this link: Access Year 6 Textbooks Page references will sometimes be included to provide additional resources for maths activities. Task 1 - Equivalent Fractions Remember: To find an equivalent fraction, you must do the same to the numerator (top number) as the numerator (bottom number).

E.G. to simplify ⁶⁄₉ I divide BOTH the numerator and denominator by 3 to get ⅔

Watch the video at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zvvgkqt, then complete the ‘comparing fractions’ worksheet. How confident are you feeling about fractions? Choose the right challenge – 1, 2 or 3-star difficulty. Task 2 - Adding and Subtracting Fractions Watch the video at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zhdwxnb/articles/z9n4k7h. Make sure to read the examples under the video too! Complete the ‘adding and subtracting’ worksheet. Task 3 - Multiplying Fractions by Whole Numbers Remember: To multiply a fraction, multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator – simple!

E.G. ⅔ x ⅔ = ⁴⁄₉ because 2 x 2 = 4 and 3 x 3 = 9 Look at the example for how to turn an improper fraction in to a mixed number, then either print out or copy down the ‘multiplying fractions dominoes’. On the left of each domino is an answer. On the right is a multiplication. Your task is to join all the dominoes together in a line. Task 4 – Ratio Watch the video at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zsq7hyc/articles/z8kfnbk to recap about ratio, then work through the questions on the ‘ratio recipe cards’. How confident are you feeling about ratio? Choose the right challenge – 1, 2 or 3-star difficulty. More ratio questions can be found in Abacus textbook 3, page 47 – 48. Task 5 - Online maths game

Mental Health and Wellbeing links PE - Tennis and Gymnastics w/c 11th May 2020 Writing – Instructions This week we will be linking our writing to the VE Day comprehension task you completed last week by writing a newspaper report about the celebrations. You will need to pretend you are a journalist in 1945 writing about the events of the day and why the people of Britain are celebrating. Task 1 – Read this example of a newspaper report about how Scotland celebrated VE Day. Think about how the text is structured, which tense it is written in and what information is included. Use this checklist to find all the features of a newspaper report in the text you have just read. Use coloured pens, pencils or highlighters to annotate the features. Task 2 – Watch this video about VE Day (https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-ve-day/z7xtmfr) and re-read the VE Day Comprehension Task from last week. Make notes about the key events of VE Day including what happened leading up to the celebration, what happened on the day itself and what might happen next. If you want to challenge yourself, you could do your own research online to try and find out more about what happened that day. Don’t forget you are imagining you are living as a journalist in 1945 so you might not know about Victory over Japan Day yet but you would still know that fighting had not yet stopped in some parts of the world and what life might be like for people in Britain over the next few months. Task 3 – Use this planning sheet to plan your newspaper report. Think about how you can include all of the key features. You could pretend you have interviewed Alan from the video (you might need to watch it again!) and include some direct quotes from him or you could quote some other people who were there at the time, such as Churchill, someone who attended a street party or someone who has a family member who will now soon be returning from fighting. Task 4 – Write your newspaper report. You may use this template to help you or you can be creative and come up with your own. Don’t forget to try and include all the key features and all the important events that happened. Remember that you are pretending you are a journalist in 1945 so you need to write about VE Day as if it had happened only a couple of days ago. Task 5 – Read back through your writing and edit it using a different coloured pen. Think about whether you could change any vocabulary to make the report more

exciting to the reader or if there are any key features that you haven’t included yet. Self-assess your writing using this checklist. Reading Task 1 – Read this text, The Cave. Mr Brinkworth’s group and Mrs Book’s group will need to read page 1. Mr Melville’s group will need to read pages 1 and 2. Select your reading group and answer the questions.

RE – Identify Some of Moses’ Leadership Qualities Art – Print Making Outdoor Learning – Tree Top Trumps PSHE – Starting secondary school PE – Cricket and Gymnastics w/c 27th April 2020 Writing – Interviews This week we would like you to study interview writing. Your tasks are to plan and write an interview. There is then an option to bring your interview to life as a radio or TV report. Task 1 – Watch this short animation – Lighthouse. After watching the animation once, watch it again and answer these questions. Task 2 – Your task is to be a reporter at the scene of the event after the lighthouse keeper has been helped by the local people. Plan your interview by making notes around these questions. Task 3 – Write your questions using this template. Use this tip sheet for how to write interview questions. Asking open ended questions is essential to interviewing for a TV or radio report. A closed question is a question that will create a one or two-word

answer, whereas an open ended question will force the interviewee to talk for longer on the subject. Look at these examples of two interviews with Anne Boleyn about her impending doom. Task 4 – Write your answers. Try and put yourself in the shoes of the lighthouse keeper. Try and include as much detail and description in your answers as possible. Task 5 – Create a news report using this planning template. Ask a member of your family to act out the news report with you. You could even record your reports with video for TV or just audio for radio. We would love to see what you create. Send any creations to the school email with the subject “FAO Mr Melville”. Reading Task 1 – Read this text, Who is Greta Thunberg? Select your reading group and answer the questions. Mr Brinkworth Mrs Book Mr Melville Task 2 – Read this extract, Evil-Star. Select your reading group and answer the questions. Mr Brinkworth Mrs Book Mr Melville Maths – Place Value Task 1 – Percentages of amounts (%) To help find percentages of amounts, find ‘easy’ amounts first. Find 10% (divide by 10), 5% (half of 10%) and 1% (divide by 100). You can then add up these amount to find a certain percentage. E.G. 21% of 410, We know that 10% = 41 and 1% = 4.1, so 10% + 10% + 1% = 21% or 41 + 41 + 4.1 = 86.1 Complete percentages ‘Code Breaker’ activity, then work through percentages of amounts questions. Task 2 – Turn fractions into percentages To do this, first turn your fraction in to a decimal. Divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). Then, multiply the decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage. E.G. the fraction is ¾, so calculate 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 (Use a calculator if you find this tricky), then, 0.75 x 100 = 75 therefore, ¾ = 75% Complete the fractions, decimal, percentages matching activity by starting with the fractions and joining the equivalent decimals and percentages with a ruled line. Work through the equivalence challenge sheet.

Task 3 – Fractions of amounts To find a fraction of an amount, divide by the denominator (bottom number), then multiply by the numerator (top number). E.G. ¾ of 44, 44 ÷ 4 = 11, 11 x 3 = 33, Therefore, ¾ of 44 = 11 Complete the fractions maze. Choose 1, 2 or 3 star questions to solve on ‘would you rather challenge’ questions sheet. Can you answer them all? Task 4 – BIDMAS (Sometimes known as BODMAS) This acronym helps you to remember what order to solve complex calculations. Brackets, Indices (or Order), Division, Multiplication, then Addition and Subtraction. Solve calculations one part at a time. Choose a Order of Operations challenge card, one at a time and solve them using BIDMAS / BODMAS. How many can you solve correctly? Task 5 – Algebra This is simply when numbers or values are expressed with a letter instead of digits. Solve the alphabet algebra challenge. Remember: if you see 2a, it means 2 x a! The Wider Curriculum Science – Task 1 – Understanding how humans have evolved over time Task 2 – How to fossils provide evidence for evolution?

If you have a woodland area nearby you may be able to tick off many trees very quickly. However, you will also see some of them growing along streets near to where you live or in yours or your neighbours gardens. Try taking a new route for your exercise each day to try and find as many different trees as possible throughout the week. If you come across any trees that do not appear on the spotter sheet have a go at making a quick sketch of the leaves and then, when you get home, look in books or on the internet to try and identify the tree.
