Mindmaps of knowledge

Year 6 have been thinking about all they have learnt! They have created several great mindmaps on the four operations! They have even included great examples to reinforce the method!! It has not only be limited to math! A mindmap of grammatical terms has also been created!

   Are there any other skills you could now add to these mind maps?

Homework Autumn 2 Week 1

This week the homework is due in Wednesday 11th November 2015!

Reading: You should be reading every day. Remember to write a summary or prediction in your reading diary. Your reading diaries need to be signed every week!

Math: Angle Measuring

This week you have been learning how to measure, draw and explain types of angle.

For homework we would like you to:

  • identify the type of angle
  • Give reasons for the type of angle
  • Predict the size and then measure the angle.
  • You should then attempt to draw a given angle. Remember to tell us the type of angle and how you know.

Please ask to borrow a protractor if you need one, but  you must remember to return it in the same condition. Make sure you show a teacher or TA that you have brought it back!

Topic: Adaption

You are to choose an animal of your choice and identify how it has physically adapted to its habitat.

You can draw or stick the image of the chosen animal in the book and then label and explain the reasons for these adaptions.

Ask a question about our planet.

Ask your question in the comments box below and don’t forget to leave your name and class. The biggest, most thoughtful question will win a merit this Friday in assembly (16-01-15). I will also try my best to answer the winning question.

Week 5 – Half Term Homework

After half term, we shall be learning about World War II.
Over half term, you are to create a project on an aspect of WWII that interests you. (This can be up to 4 pages long and you may include flaps to extend the pages if you wish!)

Some ideas for you:
Evacuation, machines and armoury, a timeline of events, food and rationing, rebuilding Britain, dig for victory, Hitler and the Nazi Party, Jewish people and the Holocaust

Production:
By now you will know if you have a speaking part in the play – remember that some of you will be sharing your parts, but it’s helpful to know what the words are!

It is a good idea to hi-light your characters words, so that it’s easier to read and see what you have to say.

You have not been given all of the script, you’ll be given part 2 after half term.

Well done for all your hard work this half term! Have a wonderful break!

Super proud of you 6K!

See you after half term!
