Good Morning Fantastic Year 6!
Good morning Year 6. Can you believe it is Friday already? We hope that you have enjoyed the first week of our summer term. Thank you for all the emails that you have sent of the lovely work that you have done so far this week. It’s great to see all the things that you have been up to. Take a look at the selection of this week’s amazing work in the slideshow below…
We hope you have had some time to relax too and if not make sure you have a rest at the weekend!

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.

Jae Malone, the author of ‘Silver Linings’ unfortunately could not visit us last month because of the Covid situation. However, she is incredibly keen to make sure we keep our imaginations fired and let our love of writing stories grow. Therefore, she has sent some fun ideas on how to create short stories. With these writing prompts you may be able to come up with a brand new story idea that no one else has ever thought of. You don’t have to write stories down, you may picture them in your mind or be a storyteller to members of your family.
Grid – Haunting things Grid One – People and Creatures Seaside Columns
As well as these fun story creating ideas, she has set us an exciting challenge. If you would like to win a signed set of Jae Malone’s trilogy, then why not enter her creative writing competition?
All you have to do is send your completed Indiana story from last term. If you have already sent us uploaded photos of your completed story or sent it as a Word document, then all you have to do is ask us to submit it to Jae’s competition. If you didn’t send us your completed story, you have until 4th May to complete your story and send it to us. Remember to use the year6@stmarksce.org.uk address for your entries.
Daily physical activity which you enjoy. Challenge yourself! Remember Joe Wicks is still there to keep us moving.
Maths

Arithmetic book – subtraction
We are going to revise subtraction today and all of the tasks are in your Arithmetic book. We are going to complete pages 4, 5, 6, 7, 26 and 27.

Spelling Test
In the back of your Home Book, please write today’s short date and title: Spelling test.
Ask someone in your house to test you on this week’s spellings – remember to get them to ask you the words in a random order and within a sentence to remind you of the meaning.
Then you can mark them together. Thank you for sending us pictures of your results too! :)
PE
This half term in PE we are going to be completing our own Home Olympics! We have a range of activities for you to have a go at. There are 5 activities which require different skills. See if you can complete each one. For each activity you need to count how many repetitions you are able to do in a certain time or time yourself and see how long you can keep going. A stop watch or a timer on a phone would be useful for these activities. There is also a record card that you can download or you can just keep a record of your scores as we will repeat these activities over the next few weeks so that you can see if you have improved. Did you manage to get any bronze, silver or gold awards today in the events? Competitive Miss Pettitt MUST get gold! :D
