Year 6 – Wednesday, 1st April
Good Morning Year 6!
Keep showing us your resilience at learning from home Year 6! If you haven’t already sent us some photos of your work, or just emailed in to say how you are doing, please get in touch today. We miss not hearing from you all. Just ask for permission and contact us on this address: year6@stmarksce.org.uk. Wishing you all another great day of learning. And, remember, there’s only three more study days before you get a break. You can do this!
Mrs Silvester, Miss Pettitt and Mrs Chapman
Helpful Reminders
Don’t forget you can email us on year6@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password, need some help, want to show us your work or even just say hello! Please get your grown up’s permission before you email us. We look forward to hearing from you. We may not reply the same day!
Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.
Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child.
Ongoing Daily Activities
As well as the learning tasks we upload each day, there are a few ‘extras’ that you could have a go at, if you get time.
TTRockstars – Play 5 garage games + 5 studio games. Mrs Chapman will be online at 11am today in the Year 6 Arena area provided the website is running properly (sorry to anyone who tried to join yesterday, but it would not load on my computer). Her TT Rockstar name is Zander Madden and will play games in the Wembley Stadium area.
Reading – Read for at least 20 minutes every day.
Weekly spellings – Practise these everyday in your spelling booklets – your new weekly sheet will be uploaded each Monday. Please notice that number 9 on the main spelling sheet has changed by having the prefix ‘dis’ added as the original sheet had the word ‘honest’ appear twice.

Your weekly success in seven for this week: Success in Seven week 6
Daily physical activity of some sort – it’s great to hear so many of you are getting energetic with Joe each morning. This is a great way to stay fit and wake up your brain.
Maths
Answers to today’s success in seven can be downloaded here: Wednesday’s Success in 7 answers
For your maths learning today, as well as completing Monday’s success in seven, we also want you to open the home learning page for White Rose Maths and complete Lesson 3 of Week 1 all about using the ratio symbol. Please watch the video first until it asks you to pause it and complete Q1 and Q2. Next, continue the video and pause to answer Q3. Continue video to the end which will allow you to complete the rest of the task successfully. You don’t need to print it out; you can just answer each question in your maths book. If you have permission, you can print it out if you would prefer to answer on the worksheet. Once you’ve completed the work on the task sheet, open the answer sheet online and check your answers. The final question is very tricky so don’t get fed up if it doesn’t make sense at first. Have a look at the answer sheet with the workings – the drawing of the bar model will help you and hopefully it’ll make sense.

Remember, you can watch the video as many times as you like. Sometimes, we have to watch things several times before we fully understand. By the end of this lesson you should be able to read and write ratios. The colon is the sign and we read it as ‘to’ e.g. 2 : 5 is a ratio we read as two to five. Do not worry if you couldn’t get all the questions correct. Just make sure you understand the basic idea.
Make sure you are on the correct lesson – see image below.
English
We will continue linking our English to our RE work today. The Easter story will continue to be written, Please follow the PowerPoint slides carefully to help you.
If you have finished the PowerPoint and are not sure how to start today’s writing, please download this The Easter Story – part 3 which might help you get started.
Science
Today, we are learning about what happens when light meets an object. Begin with the PowerPoint below. There is some information to read and then an investigation for you to complete if you can. For the investigation you will need a torch (you could use the torch option on a phone if you don’t have a torch at home). You will also need some different materials to test. You can use anything that you have around your house. Some ideas might be paper, tissue or toilet paper (If you have any to spare!), foil, cling film, material, tea towel or an item of clothing or anything else you can think of. Have fun investigating!
