Good Morning All!

Our timetable for the day is above which will show you when each lesson will be. We will stick to these video times for the forseeable which should help you plan your day around this. 

There are 3 video lessons a day, there will be 15 minutes of input and then the rest of the time will be your own to go and do the activities.

Please send your work into me via Dojo, Google Classroom or email (joakley@theatlasfederation.co.uk). We will be marking this work and using it as proof of attendance for each day.

Google Classroom

Our video calls will be conducted via Google Classroom.

Therefore please see below the written steps from the video above.

1. Go to classroom.google.com on your web browser (ideally Chrome) - if you are using a tablet or phone, simply download the Google Meet app.
2. Click on "Go To Classroom"
3. Enter your child's username and password from the slips of paper in your packs
4. Enter our Year 6 classroom by clicking on "6O".
5. Finally click on 'Meet Link' at the top of the page and you will be put straight into our video calls - if it says the video hasn't been started, just keeping refreshing the page as it means I (as the teacher) haven't started the call yet but I will do by the alloted time slot!

Maths

Today we will continue looking at reflection following yesterday's work. Just like in a mirror, when a shape is reflected, it always flips over. 

If unsure, see the video from yesterday for more guidance. Start it at 1:30 and watch till 5:30.

Log in to Google Classrooms meet for 8.40am sharp as to facilitate live lessons for all pupils, we have just 15 minutes for our lesson starter! You will need your CGP Maths book from your packs as we will be completing page 68 - don't forget to send your work into me on Dojo or email (joakley@theatlasfederation.co.uk)

English

I'm going to go through some SPaG in our Google Classroom Meeting. Again, make sure you are logged in and ready to write by 10:20am as we will again only have 20 minutes of live video. You will need your plain exercise book ready with something to write with.

We will look at synonyms and antonyms. (Pages 8, 9 & 10 of the CGP SPaG book).

Synonyms are words with the same or similar meaning:

• Words such as happy, cheerful and merry.
• Words such as sad, miserable and heartbroken.

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings:

• Words such as angry and peaceful.
• Words such as funny and serious.

You can use a thesaurus to find synonyms and antonyms for words.

Once you have completed pages 8 & 9, write me 3 sentences that use a synonym and an anotnym of the words below in the same sentence. I have written an example for you.

1) quickly

My e.g. Mr Oakley swiftly made his way to his car as it was freezing. Unfortunately the car was frozen so he slowly de-iced the car.

2) heavy

3) gentle

P.E.

Obviously appreciate it is pretty cold outside so going to set you a few indoor challenges this week for your P.E. lesson. Follow the videos to complete the challenges and then complete the Yoga lesson to develop your strength fitness.

Reading with Mr O

Log back into Google Classroom for a live reading of our class reader "Blitzed" by Robert Swindells.

Make sure you are logged in by 12:50pm to ensure you don't miss any of the story!

Enrichment

For your enrichment session, feel free to play a game with our family or help them out with a few tasks around the house. No doubt this will make the weekend a little bit more relaxing for the whole family.

Below is a link to a Youtuber who specialises in drawing for children. I know many of you love completing drawings so feel free to give any of these a go!

Reading for Pleasure

Finally, lets sign off the day with 20 minutes of reading your school reader or a book that you are enjoying. Send a photo of your signed reading record through to me.

Well done for today everyone! I appreciate it has been different but now we are up and running in the routine, hopefully this will be easier for all of us next week - see you bright and early at 8:40am on Google Meets! And don't forget to send all of your work through to me on Dojo, email or Google Classroom.

Have a good weekend all!
