Maths
The video for each lesson can be found at this link: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
You can also find the sheets and answers there, or in the table below.
On Wednesday, you will be able to do Questions 1 and 2 without a protractor, but you will need a protractor for the others (I did recommend you take one home). If you don't have a protractor at home, you could instead practise using one in this online game instead of doing the task: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/protractor-using.html
There is also a bonus problem solving activity beneath the table. I think some of you would really enjoy doing this, as it is a bit like solving a crime!
Wider Curriculum
Choose one of the following tasks to complete each day:
History:
This week we are learning about the role of food in the Mayan civilisation! There is a Powerpoint document below for you to look at with lots of information.
TASK 1: Choose EITHER the Mayan Food Sorting Task (easier) or the Mayan Food Research Task.
Task 2: If you have the ingredients, why not try making Mayan Hot Chocolate! You will need to do this with an adult as it requires boiling milk. Photos of hot chocolate tasting reactions are welcomed (I'll be trying it myself...rumour has it that it's not very nice...)
RE
At this link you will find an e-Book called 'The Story of Easter'. You will need a Twinkl account (I think) to download it (Twinkl is free at the moment). https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/the-story-of-easter-ebook-t2-or-558
(I have downloaded the file but it is too large to put on here!)
If you can't download it, there is a version of the Easter story on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PSgoPdKQFQ
Your task is to imagine you were a newspaper reporter at the time, and write a newspaper article to summarise the story.
You can do this on paper or using Microsoft word. Please send them to me and I can put them on our webpage for you to enjoy together! Don't forget to get quotes for the article from people in your family!
Below you will find a planning sheet and language features checklist, which may be useful but are not essential.
Art
It would be nice to do something creative for Easter. How about some Pop Art? Below are some ideas for Pop Art-inspired Easter art/crafts. Have a look! Depending on what resources you have at home, you could do this anyway you like! Photos of your creations are a must!
Have a look below at some examples to get you inspired:
Computing
Continue your Mayan blog to include an entry on Mayan Food. You will need to do the history lesson before you can do this.
Spelling
Your spellings this week are pairs of words where the adjective (ending ____ent) can be changed to a noun (ending ___ence).
Practise your spellings on SpellingShed in preparation for our LIVE Hive Game at 10:00 on Friday morning!
