Year 6 – Thursday, 2nd April
Good Morning Year 6!
Well done everyone for your work so far this week. You have nearly made it to the end of this Spring term! Let’s give today’s learning everything we’ve got so we can enjoy our Easter break which begins on Saturday and lasts for two whole weeks! Remember you are all awesome learners and awesome learners make mistakes. Mistakes are the only way we grow as learners. Have a great day!
If you haven’t already sent us a message or photo of your work, please try to do that today. All work we see can earn you recognition points. Earn 50 RPs to claim a prize from our prize boxes when we are all back together.

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. 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.

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: Thursday’s Success in 7 answers
For your maths learning today, as well as completing Thursday’s success in seven, we also want you to open the home learning page for White Rose Maths and complete Lesson 4 of Week 1. Please watch the video first until it asks you to pause it and complete Q1 through to Q6. Check your answers so far. 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 rest of the work on the task sheet, open the answer sheet online and check your answers. The final question is again 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 , write and solve ratio problems.
Make sure you are on the correct lesson – see image below.

Today is the final session to complete our Easter story retelling. We will pick up the story at the part where Jesus’ body was taken to the tomb following his crucifixion.
Remember the example write is here to help you The Easter Story – part 4
Computing.
In today’s lesson, you will get a chance to use an Excel program. This is a great program to organise data. If you don’t have Excel on your home device, just read the PowerPoint below and hopefully some of it will make sense. You will get a further chances to use Excel in school throughout your secondary education.
If you can’t access Excel, once you have read the two PowerPoints, why not use this time to catch up on any unfinished work or practise this week’s spelling list.
