Wednesday 3rd March 2021
Good morning Year 6. Welcome to our last remote Wednesday. Half way through the week is always good to check in on how you are organising yourself this week. Ask yourselves these questions today:
- Have you been reading every day?
- Have you started or even finished any Sumdog challenge?
- Are you going to tick everything off by Thursday or spread it out to Friday?
(Knowing how well you have been doing enables you to plan out the rest of the week)
Do not forget that Reading, English, Maths, French, Music and RE are on the blog today so spreads these activities out or do what you can.
REMINDER – WORLD BOOK DAY 2021
Tomorrow is World Book day where you can dress up at home in one of your favourite characters. Whether you dress up or not, please send in a picture of you holding your favourite book with a message of why it is your favourite. I will be doing the same and I will send my picture to you in the morning.
Here are today’s tasks:
Reading
Read for 30 minutes. Keep building up that speed and stamina.
Reading activity for today:
- Draw a picture of your favourite part of the book. Write what is happening in the picture and why you chose this.
English (split into three parts: Handwriting, Spellings and Writing)
Handwriting
The handwriting poems this week are based on seasons through the year. This week focus on forming each letter correctly, which we have done before but this is something we will do in detail next week when you are all back so practising this is a going to help.
Chips
Out of the paper bag
Comes the hot breath of the chips
And I shall blow on them
To stop them burning my lips.
Before I leave the counter
The woman shakes
Raindrops of vinegar on them
And salty snowflakes.
Outside, the frosty pavements
Are slippery as a slide
But the chips and I
Are warm inside.
Spellings
The spellings for this week, long ‘y’ sound
- Today, create another mini story with the spellings words.
- e.g. There was once a cycling hyena who absolutely loved to multiply numbers. He would identify figures in the street and rhyme whilst doing it. One day, the hyena qualified for the Cyclone Cup, a prestigious award once occupied by a python.
Writing task
Can I use a variety of nouns, verbs and adjectives to describe an evil character’s appearance and actions?
Read pages 44 – 50, which are on one of the videos I have sent through Seesaw.
Watch the main video sent through on Seesaw which explains how to complete today’s objective.
The example of descriptions for an evil character are attached at the bottom of the blog.
Also, the picture I used to describe my evil character is at the bottom of the blog under 'Wanderer picture for introducing evil character'.

Confession time – in school last week, we didn’t finish all the work so we’re going to do the second half of the sheet this week. If you didn’t manage it all either, click here and download lesson 5 with audio.

We’re going to do the left hand side of slide 3 in school, writing our own sentences using seasons, weather and expressions of frequency. If you’ve already done this, well done to you! You could take a piece of paper, fold it into 4 sections and copy one of your sentences into each section and add a picture to illustrate it. If you upload the photo, I will print it off and add it to our display.
If you’re ready to move on, have a go at slide 4. I’ll be very impressed if you can do sections B and C!
Très bon travail. Merci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine!
RE

Watch the Seesaw video named ‘RE. Our Father prayer’. There is a copy of the Our father at the bottom of this blog for you to print or copy and paste electronically.
