Jae Malone, the author of ‘Silver Linings’ unfortunately could not visit us last month because of the Covid situation. However, she is incredibly keen to make sure we keep our imaginations fired and let our love of writing stories grow. Therefore, she has sent some fun ideas on how to create short stories. With these writing prompts you may be able to come up with a brand new story idea that no one else has ever thought of. You don’t have to write stories down, you may picture them in your mind or be a storyteller to members of your family.

 Grid – Haunting things                           Grid One – People and Creatures                              Seaside Columns

As well as these fun story creating ideas, she has set us an exciting challenge. If you would like to win a signed set of Jae Malone’s trilogy, then why not enter her creative writing competition?

All you have to do is send your completed Indiana story from last term. If you have already sent us uploaded photos of your completed story or sent it as a Word document, then all you have to do is ask us to submit it to Jae’s competition. If you didn’t send us your completed story, you have until 4th May to complete your story and send it to us. Remember to use the year6@stmarksce.org.uk address for your entries.

Daily physical activity which you enjoy. Challenge yourself! Remember Joe Wicks is still there to keep us moving.

Spelling Test

In the back of your Home Book, please write today’s short date and title: Spelling test.

Ask someone in your house to test you on this week’s spellings – remember to get them to ask you the words in a random order and within a sentence to remind you of the meaning. 

Then you can mark them together. Thank you for sending us pictures of your results too! :)

PE

This half term in PE we are going to be completing our own Home Olympics! We have a range of activities for you to have a go at. There are 5 activities which require different skills. See if you can complete each one. For each activity you need to count how many repetitions you are able to do in a certain time or time yourself and see how long you can keep going. A stop watch or a timer on a phone would be useful for these activities. There is also a record card that you can download or you can just keep a record of your scores as we will repeat these activities over the next few weeks so that you can see if you have improved. Did you manage to get any bronze, silver or gold awards today in the events? Competitive Miss Pettitt MUST get gold! :D

Today’s lesson is all about dividing by 100 which we have worked on earlier in the year with whole numbers. Today you will be able to divide smaller numbers and include decimals in your answer. Using the place value charts will help you remember to move each digit 2 places to the right. Remember when you use the Gattengo chart you will need to move down rather than across. Here is the White rose video link to help you.

For children who are completing their Maths with ease, and who would like further challenge, Miss Goddard is started a ‘Daily Maths Challenge’ page on the school website where she will upload a new set of challenges everyday. If you complete today’s work and would like to access it, please click here. 

English – Informative writing about an inventor

All week, you have been learning about inventions and inventors. Today, we would like you to focus on one inventor. That inventor could be someone you already know a little about, it could be someone you have learned about this week or you could start some research about someone new! 

You can present your work however you like – a poster (handwritten or on the computer), a PowerPoint, an information booklet or even a standard piece of writing! Try to cover the answers to the following questions in your work:

1. What is the inventor’s full name?
2. When were they born?
3. Where were they born?
4. What was their job?
5. What did they invent?
6. How did they invent it?
7. How did they invention change the world?
8. Did any other key events happen in their life?
9. Are there any interesting facts about them?

There is a lovely idea below of a poster – it has all the information along with pictures and ‘Fun Facts!’ 

French – Animals

Miss Stonehouse is back with a French video for you. In this Youtbe video below, she will be describing animals using colours. Give it a go trying to copy some of the sentences she reads out.  Remember that in French, the adjective comes after the noun unlike in English – for example we would say ‘the brown dog’ but they would say ‘the dog brown’ (or le chien brun!)
