Year 6 – Friday, 3rd April
Good Morning to our Super-duper Year 6!
Well Year 6 we have made it through to the last day of two very strange weeks of learning from home. A massive well done to everyone who has been following the daily lessons and just trying their best. We couldn’t be more proud of you. One last big effort today please from us all and then we can put our feet up and watch movies for the Easter holidays.
Over the Easter holidays, we will be posting a daily greeting and for those of you who may be a little bored one day, there will be some ideas of activities you can do at home. For those who just want to watch movies and play with your Lego and games, go for it. This is what holidays are all about,
We wish all our families a very Happy Easter and hope you get to share special times together.
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. 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
Today’s answers for Success in Seven are here Friday’s Success in 7 answers
For your main maths lesson today, we would like you all to watch the video about scale factors – Week 1 Lesson 5. This is all about how many times bigger or smaller a shape has been made in maths.
https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
You should all be able to have a go at answering questions 1, 2 and 3.
If you want to go further and challenge yourself with the second page of questions 4, 5. 6 and 7 then please have a go – but it’s not expected. For question 4 there are no answers and it will be tricky to do without printing the sheet. For question 6 you will have to multiply by one and a half. Remember to do this, first find one group of the number, then find half a group of that number and finally add those two answers to give you one and a half times the number e.g. 30 x 1 1/2 = one group of 30 plus 1/2 a group of 30 = 30 + 15 =45
English
Remember today is your spelling test day. Have a revision session before asking to be tested by someone at home. Send us a photo of your results to get a recognition point.
That’s it for English today as your RE lesson will take quite a bit of time.
Religious Education
We are going to link the story of Easter with the idea of salvation today and also look at how Christians mark the special days of Good Friday, when Jesus was crucified, and Easter Sunday, when he rose again.
Follow the PowerPoint below. There is a lot to read and discuss (or just think about if there’s no one to join you in a discussion). You will only need to record (neatly please) in your books in response to Challenge 2. Have a ruler ready to divide your page down the middle.
The End!
Year 5 – Friday 3rd April
Good Morning Year 5
We hope you are well this Friday morning, its our last day of learning before the ‘Easter Holidays’. We know that the Easter Holidays are going to be very different to usual this year, so we are going to provide some Easter activities for you to have a go at each Monday of the holidays, but they are purely ideas. You can choose any that you may want to do, but if you don’t want to then you don’t have to.
Don’t forget that today at 11am 5GP will be having their Zoom class catch up and at 3pm 5T will be having their Zoom class catch up. Ask your parents to check their emails regarding how to join, remember 5F will be having theirs soon.
Today is an important day!!! We are in a TT Rockstars battle against Year 4! Between 9am and 3pm today, we are going to be in competition with Year 4 to see who can get the most right answers . We need to go online and play as much as we can throughout today to beat Year 4!! We will let you know who wins on Monday. Come on Year 5 – WE WILL WIN!!
Another well done to all of you for your Millions stories. All 4 teachers are incredibly impressed by what you have written and we are all extremely proud of all of you. Please keep sending them in for us to read if you haven’t already.
Enjoy you’re last day of work before the Easter Holidays.
Year 5 Team

English/Art
We have been so impressed with your Millions stories, you all worked extremely hard and your stories are fantastic.
So today, we are going to give you the chance to design your own front cover for your story.
Front covers show the main parts of the story and the main characters. Think carefully about your story and what you could use from it to put on your front cover.
Miss T has done an example front cover for you, unfortunately she didn’t have any coloured pens or pencils, so hopefully yours will be a lot more colourful than hers.
Once you have finished them, please send us a copy. We love seeing your work!!!
Science
Today we are going to finish our learning on Forces. We are going to learn about levers, gears and pulleys.
Read through the PowerPoint and watch the different videos on the links.

Year 4 – Friday 3rd April
Good Morning Year 4
Thank you for sending us all your Gruffalo based stories. We have loved reading them; it is lovely to see how creative you all are. Looking at your work is one of the highlights of our day. Today we are asking you to tackle some word searches and in maths to really understand where tenths fit into place value.
As today is Friday, we are having a TTRockstars battle with Year 5. Once you have played your 3 garage games, keep going to see how many correct answers you can get!
Amazingly, today is actually the last day of term, so next week will be the Easter holidays. We are not going to be setting you any work for the next 2 weeks but we will be posting a list of activities which you could try with your family. There is no need to record any of these but we hope you have fun doing them.
Make sure you have a good time and remember to stay safe.
Mrs Happy, Miss Hardy, Miss Goddard and Mrs Tunnicliffe

Maths-Dividing by 10
Hopefully the White Rose maths lesson will follow on perfectly from yesterdays learning. Follow the link to see a video to help you https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/
We have also given you some times tables practice questions, as Friday’s tables challenge.
English – Mythical Beast Wordsearch
Well done for all of your writing this week. We have been so impressed with your creativity and vocabulary choices. Today we have created you a wordsearch including some mythical creatures. Once you have found the words, have a go at creating your own wordsearch for someone at home to complete.
Here are some tips for creating your own wordsearch:-
- Draw your grid for your wordsearch or insert a table if you are doing it on a computer.
- Make a list of the words you want to include – use a dictionary to check the spelling!
- Write or type the words into the grid – check they are all there! Remember words can go forwards, backwards, horizontally, vertically or even diagonally!
- Add random letters in all the empty boxes.
- Give your wordsearch to someone in your house to do or send it to a friend!
Don’t forget it is Friday so try to get someone to test you on your spellings. There are no new spellings as next week is the Easter holidays. If you still
want to use Spelling shed, it has some year 4 spellings on which are good to practice.
Topic – Palm Sunday
This Sunday is Palm Sunday. It is celebrated in church’s as part of the lead up to Easter Sunday.
Here is a video to watch which tells you the story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTmbTuutBgg
You might like to make some palm branches by drawing round your hand on green paper or decorating some paper with green things and then attach them to a stick. Can you retell (or re-enact) the story on your own or with your siblings?
