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. 

We will continue with the 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.

Feel free to watch newsround each day to keep in touch with what is going on in the world.

English

Mrs Brant will be leading us through some writing 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 15 minutes of live video. You will need your plain exercise book ready with something to write with.

Hello again Year 6 – some great embedded clauses yesterday, well done! Hoping to see some examples of them in your future work.

As I stated yesterday, this week we are finishing our work on the animation clip ‘Ruin’. If you watch the clip all the way until the end, you realise that there are a lot of unanswered questions – who is this character? Who does he work for? Is he a hero or a villain? How did he get his powers?

Today, I would like you to use your powers of deduction to decide the answers to some of these questions. There are no right or wrong answers, as long as you have based your ideas on the things you have seen in the clip. Your work today will act as a plan for some writing tomorrow. The more detail you include today the easier writing will be tomorrow!

TASK – Please see the activity ‘Ending Planning Frame’ on Google Classroom – there you will find a planning sheet that I would like you to complete.

Interested to see what your ideas are about our character – Mrs B 😊

PSHE

Hello Year 6 – I’m sure that you would have found some of yesterday’s photoshopped images to be quite thought provoking. I hope that you now understand that comparing yourselves and others to these images can be quite damaging. We are all real, incredible people - there is no need to compare ourselves to ideas that are unattainable!

So moving on from yesterday’s lesson, we are going to discuss how we can identify images that have been altered or changed. There are some hints and tips to help you spot a faked image in the links below – but under the supervision of an adult, Googling ‘Photoshop fails’ can bring up some hilarious, and obvious results.

TASK – Take a look through the links below. After you have read the information, complete the task on Google Classrooms. Under the topic ‘PSHE’, you should see the task ‘A Guide to Spotting Altered Images’. When you clock on the activity, it eill open a preview – please click a button at the top of the page that says ‘Open with Google Docs’.

Reading with Mr O

Log back into Google Classroom for a live reading of our class reader "Blitzed" by Robert Swindells. See what happens next with George and his adventure!

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

History

So World War 2 has started, Britain and Allied forces have declared war on Germany, armies are readied and then..... no real fighting happened!  Between September 1939 (after Germany invaded Poland) and May 1940, no major fights occurred and it led to this part of World War 2 being labelled as the "Phoney War" - as in a fake war. 

Then in September 1940, Germany launched a prolonged aerial attack on Britain which would last for almost a year - one period of time actually included 11 weeks of daily bombing! 

Watch the video on the website below to see what the Blitz was like. Then read "The Blitz Explained" to find out more about this period of time.

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. You can obviously also use Bug Club as well now. Details of how to login are on the main class page.

Well done for today everyone! 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.
