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.

Maths

Today we are looking at calculating the area of a triangle & a parallelogram. They are fairly simple to work out once you know the formula. To find the area of a triangle you do height x width and then divide that answer by 2. This is because a triangle is half the size of a rectangle.

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.

Heya Year 6! Hope that everyone is keeping well! This will be our last writing session before half term – can you believe it? To finish this term’s writing, we are going to write our letters of complaint.

Yesterday, I was glad to see the detailed plans that some of you had produced – that will make today’s task much easier! Now that you have a plan and a structure for your letter, now we just need to look at the language that we should use.

Take a look at my example in the links below – it is a letter of complaint to a company that have sold me a television with a strange quirk! If you see any language that you like or could adapt for your own, feel free to make a note of it!

TASK – We will be using our blue books, so please write today’s date and an ‘E’ in the margin. The title is, ‘Black Hole Letter of Complaint’.

Today I would like you to write your letter of complaint to the manufacturer of the photocopier that printed the Black Hole. You are to imagine that you are the company manager that almost lost a large sum of money, so the tone should be quite disgruntled! Use your plan and my example to help you.

Can’t wait to read them! Mrs Brant 😊

RE

Key Question: Is anything ever eternal?

Title: Heaven and Eternity

Mrs Riley has set us our RE work as usual today. Look at the questions to discuss with an adult at home:

Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected so that they could have an eternal life. What do you think about this? 

How do Christians get to Heaven?  Can everybody go to Heaven?  

Read the parable of the sheep and the goats below (Matthew 25: 31-46).

Can people who have not done good deeds go to Heaven?  How do they feel about this?   

Christians believe that for eternal life they need to believe in God, do their best to follow the Ten Commandments and ask for forgiveness when they need it.  

Can a non-Christian go to Heaven?  

Is going to Heaven a Christian’s only motivation for doing good things? 

Activity:

1. Answer the questions on the sheet as fully as you can giving your own thoughts and ideas.

2. Write a paragraph to answer our key question. Use everything you have learnt about over 

the last 5 weeks. Read attached sheet to help you with your answer.

Having explored rationing in the UK, today we are going to have a go at making an item of food that became a staple in War Time Britain: the national loaf!

Watch the video below before using the recipe to try and make it. Let me know what you think of it!

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.
