Year 6 Remote Learning Plan Week Beginning: 1.2.21

Dear Parents and Carers,

We hope that you and your family are safe and well.

If your child is currently learning at home, please could they undertake the learning in the table below. Please click on

the links which will take you directly to a variety of learning opportunities that link very closely to the learning of

children in school. If login and password details are needed, then you will find the details in the front of your child’s

Reading Record book.

Please note that the yellow highlighted tasks are those that are required to be sent back to school either through Class

DoJo or the school email (timothyhackworth@durhamlearning.net).

If you require any paper, then please contact the School Office and they will provide some for you.

Year Group teachers will be in touch with you over the coming days in order to find out how your child is getting on

with their learning. They will be able to provide advice and support.

If you require any further guidance about any of the learning, please contact your child’s teacher through Class DoJo,

the Year Group designated mobile phone (the relevant numbers will be sent to you in a text) or the School Office, who

will arrange for a member of staff to contact you.

Best wishes,

Mrs. Boulton

Head Teacher

Monday This week’s English will again be based around the Windmill Farmer video. This week we will be focusing on the storm and trying to write a detailed description of it. Watch that part of the video again a few times. Make a list of everything that happens during the storm – even the smallest detail. You could do this using a spider diagram like the one below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nd9OuX7Bd4

Maths Specific Learning: Monday warm up 1. A car is travelling at 50 km/hr. How far can it travel in 30 minutes? 2. 5 x __ = 10 x 3 3. Is 48 a multiple of 7? 4. Which is the larger? 110,055 or 110,050 5. 4 x 9 = 6 squared. True or False? 6. Write 3/100 as a decimal. 7. Write 3 2/3 as an improper fraction. 8. What is the square root of 25? 9. 5 2/3 - 3 1/6 10. 2.3 + 0.8

Monday – Line Graphs https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/interpreting-line-graphs-cmr3ec Tuesday warm up 1. 7.95 - 2.05 = 2. 3/4 + 2/3 = 3. 4 + (-8) = 4. 0.5 x 0.5 = 5. Sarah scored 75% in a piano exam. Write this as a decimal.

Tuesday – Drawing Line Graphs Please send a screenshot of your work on Maths on Tuesday) https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/constructing-a-line-graph-6gv38r Wednesday warm up 1. 12 x ___ = 8 x 3 2. 25% of 120 = 3. 0.2 x 0.5 = 4. 6 + (-3) = 5. Is 24 a multiple of 2?

Wednesday – Conversion Graphs (Please send a screenshot of your work on Maths on Wednesday) https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/conversion-graphs-64vk2t

Now try to build up some descriptive sentences. Start with a noun like a windmill, then add adjectives, verb, adverb, parenthesis and a simile. An example could be: The ferociously, spinning windmills, which were out of control, were like toys being played with by the wind. Try this with other nouns like the wind, the rain or the clouds. Add your ideas to your spider diagram.

Tuesday

Here are six ways to start a sentence. Practise using each one to write a sentence about the storm that destroyed the windmills.

Now we are going to look at four still photographs from the

film (see the sheet in the English resources section below). For each picture you must add sentences that describe in detail what is happening. Use your spider diagram from yesterday. Here is what it might look like:

Shouting a warning, the wind descended upon the farm. The menacing storm crept, slowly, towards the farm.

Jagged bolts of lightning tore the sky apart. Dark, black clouds bolted across the sky. Do this for each picture. Be creative. Use adjectives, adverbs, verbs, similes and personification as much as you can.

Thursday warm up 1. 545 m = ___ km 2. Round 7.37 to the nearest tenth. 3. Which is the cheapest? £40 shirt with 25% off or £50 shirt with 30% off. 4. Write one million and eleven as a numeral. 5. Which is the larger? 10% of 70 or 50% of 16.

Thursday – Short Division https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/short-division-part-1-6gr6ar https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/short-division-part-2-6nk66c Friday warm up 1. 65% = 0.6 True or False? 2. 7 divided by 1/2 3. Change 31/7 into a mixed number. 4. 8.29 - 6.05 = 5.. Which is larger? 252,891 or 2,052,891 Friday – Long Division https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/use-the-formal-written-method-of-long-division-to-solve-appropriate-calculations-c8wk0c

Wednesday and Thursday

Now it’s time for you to write a description of the storm that destroyed the windmills using the work that you have done from the last two days. Here is your success criteria:

•use all of your senses

•use adventurous adjectives (noun phrases), adverbs and verbs

•vary sentence openings, use fronted adverbials

•use parenthesis Challenge

•use a simile or personification There are some examples of good descriptions in the English resource section below. Use them but modify the sentences rather than copy them.

(Please send a screenshot of your descriptions on Thursday)

Friday

Try these lessons on the features of poems. After you’ve

watched them, you could try and write your own poem about a

storm.

Example of description for Wednesday and Thursday.

The storm. A great attacking wave. It snaked over the hills, getting closer and closer, nearer and nearer. It was a roaring beast. There was no escape. It slithered towards the farm, sniffing out fear. The windmills were trapped. They were prisoners. Bang! Like a flash, the concerned farmer, who didn't have a clue what was occurring, rushed outside of his shaking house. The thunderous rain pummelled the puddle-covered ground, swifter than light, while the helpless windmills spun uncontrollably. Above his head (closer than he would have liked) the tear filled, gloomy clouds slid closer and closer; they were everywhere. Everywhere. What should he do? Crack! A tremendous crash of thunder rattled the shutters on the windows. The sound of it pounded like a drum. It seemed that the end of the world had come. The sky was torn by jagged bolts of wild lightning. Gusts of wind hurled themselves furiously at the precious windmills.
