Year 6 Remote Learning Pack

Welcome from Mrs Kenny and Miss Davies!

Hi year six! I hope all is well with you all and that you have had a wonderful weekend! Let’s

get started with the week! Please do continue to upload work onto dojo (unless you are

back in school of course!) for us to look at and reflect where necessary if we suggest it.

Please also continue to share your memories, song and ‘remote leavers’ ideas with us on

dojo and let your voice be heard!

As always, anything in the revision booklets are split into expected standard and higher

score as usual, some of the other activities are split into your usual orange, green and blue

for different levels of difficulty, just like in class.

Happiness is not something that’s ready-made; it comes from your

own actions – Dalai Lama.

You will also find this information on our website where you will then be able to download it

if you wish to alongside a list of useful links. Please also don’t forget to use

year6@glebeacademy.co.uk if you need support in any way and keep sending us work on

dojo!

Whole School Weekly Challenge

Cut out hearts using different coloured paper if you have it. On every heart write a

positive message about your friends and family. Write them for your friends and family,

then cut out the hearts and post them or send them a picture of them to remind them how

special they are - remember to write one for yourself!

Week beginning: 22.06.2020

Wellbeing Idea for the Week

Keep a journal for the week!

At the end of each day, write a journal entry (you can use a notepad, paper, make a snazzy

one or just use a jotter). Log down thoughts, feelings, things you have done that day,

achievements, things you want to accomplish the following day, week, month or even year.

You could write down worries, thoughts that are holding you back, thoughts that are

driving you forward…. absolutely anything! Keeping a log if these things can help to

declutter your mind, focus your thinking and let go of negative vibes! You don’t need to

share these with us (unless you want to of course); they are your personal thoughts and

reflections. See how you feel at the end of the week and if it has helped, keep it going as

long as you like!

Joke of the Week

This week’s joke of the week is brought to you by the one and only Caleb as part of

his dojo rewards! It is also one of my personal favourites. Enjoy!

What do you do if you see a

spaceman?

Park in it man!

Day 1 Maths – Co-ordinates

We are going to complete learning on coordinates this week. There are quizzes and videos to help you so be

sure to have a device that allows you access to the internet!

First of all, I would like you to complete this short quiz to assess your knowledge of coordinates (you make want

to make a few notes on the answers when you have completed it.

Watch this video for the

model!

To find out and write coordinates we go along the horizontal axis first, then the vertical

axis (remember, along the corridor, up the stairs.

e.g. Point A is (-7, 5). Pay attention to whether it is in the negative or positive axis!

Day 1 English – Fact and opinion

Task: Look at the following statements and tick whether they are a fact or opinion

Fact Opinion

1. The car was blue.

2. The man had lost his coat.

“This has to be the most exciting game of football that I’ve ever seen so far. David Beckham is easily

the best player on the pitch. He has scored 5 goals so far this season. I think he’ll score a lot more.”

Tomorrow is an important day for the pop group , BoysRUs. They release their third single tomorrow.

Their last 2 singles have gone straight into the charts at number 1. This new single, however, is an

awful mix of pop and blues music. It’s not as good as the previous 2 hits. It certainly looks to me like

BoysRUs should ask for their day job back at the toyshop.

Buy the new Superclean bathroom cleaner. It’ll leave your bathroom sparking clean! Superclean uses a

Let’s refresh our timeline work. I would like you to create a Mayan timeline. The information you

need to use can be found at the following link

https://www.ducksters.com/history/maya/maya_civilization_timeline.php. You will see that the

information is split up into four sections of history: Pre-classic period, classic period, post classic

period and colonial period. You can either:

Choose a period (or more than one!) and create a timeline for it on paper. Remember to detail

each section in chronical (time) order.

Use a digital timeline creator such as

http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/timeline_2/ (we have used this

one in class but if you have another you prefer, no problem!) You can chose one period or

create several if you like!)

Get creative (and practise your maths skills) and make a potty timeline in the living room or

garden (now the loo roll shortage seems to have sorted itself out!). Remember that one sheet

of loo roll represents a century (100 years) so you will need to space out your labels correctly.

Here is a photograph to remind you of what the potty timeline looks like.

If you are creating a larger timeline that includes more than one Mayan period then pay attention to

how the chronology works as you will be going from BCE (before common era or BC – before the year

‘zero’) to CE (common era or AD, anything after the year ‘zero’). So you will be dealing with negative

and positive integers. An example is below to show you how to work backwards or forwards from

zero.

Today we are going to look at translating shapes using coordinates.

First, review yesterday’s learning by completing this quiz -

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-translate-simple-

shapes/activities/1/view/

Now, watch the video lesson here - https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-translate-

simple-shapes/activities/2/

Example 2:

Now, have a go at the following questions on the next page (start with orange and work your

way through, challenge yourself!

Day 2 Maths – Translating shapes

A translation is the movement of a point from

one place to another. It is not reflected or

rotated, simply moved left to right, as a point

or group of points to form a shape. Look at

cross A on the grid. It is on the coordinates

(3,3). To work out the translation we count

how many squares across to the left/right and

then up/down. So in this case, the cross has

moved three squares left, then two squares

up. So to describe the translation we say:

3 right, 2 up to the new coordinates (6,5)

A

To translate a whole shape, label each point

with a letter first to help.

So…point A is translated 4 right and 2

down so plot this point at its new

coordinates

Do the same with each other point (the

translation of each will be exactly the

same, 4 right and 2 down).

Join the points together to make the

same shape.

Day 2 English – instructional writing

This week we will be creating a newspaper report. To begin with, we need to understand and identify

the features! Using the success criteria and the exampled models, find and record the features in

the newspaper article!

Feature Example

Headline Short, bold snappy sentence that introduces the article

The 5 w’s The who, what, why, where and when of an article. These should

be found in the first paragraph

Adverbials of time Tell us when a verb is being done e.g. Once the police had

cordoned off the area…

Formal connectives Aids cohesion within a sentence and keeps the writing formal

e.g. moreover

Quotes A direct piece of speech by a witness/bystander etc. This will

have to be in speech marks!

Facts and opinions Use the work you did yesterday on the difference between

facts and opinions to help you locate this evidence

Evidence sheet – Record the examples from the text on the next page:

Understanding different geographical features and how civilisations used the natural resources and

landscape to their advantage. Watch the following video on the Maya that lived/live in the Lacandon

Forest in the state of Chiapas (East Mexico). https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zdrd2hv .

Then research and make notes on the following questions (this can be on paper or electronically if you

wish to include images etc):

1. How did/do the people of the Lacandon forest use the natural resources to provide

a) Food b) shelter c) water

Go into detail with this question please, explain what they use and how they use it.

2. Why do the Maya that live in the forest not need a great deal of money?

3. How does the way the Maya in the Lacandon forest live compare to how we live? You can do

this in a comparison table if you wish.

4. How does the way the Maya in the Lacandon forest live promote sustainability (avoiding the

diminishing of natural resources)?

5. Would you like to live life this way? Why/why not?

You’ve created body and junk percussion; now it’s time to create different pitches and notes using a

water xylophone!

If you haven’t yet seen Mr Bromfield’s video on dojo’s school story check this out now! I think it

would be a great idea to create your own music using glasses, bottles or jars filled with different

amounts of water to create different notes and pitch.

Mr Bromfield plays ‘come on hear the noise’ by Slade. Here’s the link to school story but you can

access this from your usual dojo account anyway

https://teach.classdojo.com/#/schools/53a2c76790a4dca227003e8e/story

Which song will you create? Have a listen to a few tunes in your house or on youtube (nothing

inappropriate please!) and get performing! Make sure you ask an adult for the glasses (you will need

to listen to the tune carefully to figure out how many glasses you will need) so you aren’t using Mum

or Dad’s best crystal! Use a pencil or something similar as a beater to TAP (not hit hard) the glasses

and listen to the note it makes. You may need to add and take out water to get the correct ‘note’.

Have fun experimenting and if you send them into us we can set up a little ‘name that tune’ where we

have to guess each other’s tune! Extra dojos for correct answers!

TIP – You can use jars or bottles if you like, it doesn’t have to be glasses. If you have milk delieverd

in glass bottles, empty ones of those might be ideal!

Day 4 Maths – reflections

First, let’s review yesterday’s learning with a quiz; click on this link for the questions

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-reflect-simple-shapes/activities/1/view/

Today, we will be learning how to ‘reflect’ shapes in an axis. The full lesson video can be found here

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-reflect-simple-shapes/activities/2/ bit here is an

explanation and a model to refresh the concept of reflecting in a mirror line.

Now try the questions on the next page.

As shown in this example, a shape can

be reflected across a line of reflection,

called the mirror line. Here, you can

see that the mirror line is the ‘y’ or

horizontal axis. As it would in a mirror,

the shape is flipped so it looks like a

reflection. IMPORTANT – each point

on the reflected shape is exactly the

same distance from the mirror line

as the original shape. So the shape

looks exactly the same, only reflected.

Here is an example of a shape

reflected in the x axis, or horizontal

axis. The mirror line is the x axis

itself, so the distance between the axis

and each shape is identical.

Day 4 English – instructional writing

Using your plan from yesterday, you are going to complete your newspaper. Use the model

below to help you with this. Make it as serious or as funny as you like. You may want to look

at some examples of layouts to help you, but I have included a template (including space for a

picture). You can use the one I have provided on the next page or complete your own

electronically. I will upload both a lined and blank template on class story in case you wish to

download it and use.

Your success criteria:

Capital letters and full stops in all of the correct places!

Use a catchy headline

Include the five w’s in within the first paragraph

Use a range of adverbials of time

Use a range of formal connectives

Use quotes which include more informal language e.g. ‘It was out of this world

dude!’

Clearly distinguish between fact and opinions

Use some higher level punctuation (brackets, dashes for parenthesis, colons

and semi colons in between independent clauses.

Model

One small step for man!

Undoubtedly, the world witnessed history in the making earlier today, when the

first steps were taken – by humans – on another celestial body. In a dramatic

sequence of events, Neil Armstrong – a highly esteemed astronaut for NASA –

took his first steps out of the lunar module. Subsequently, Buzz Adrin (who is

Armstrong’s fellow space traveller) followed, as revealed by NASA’s mission

control centre.

Meanwhile, in Central Park, New York, a huge crowd amassed to witness the

historic event. One bystander commented “It was far out man! You wouldn’t

believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes. America rocks!”
