Class Novel – Who Let the Gods out by Maz Evans You will find it saved in Class Materials Class Novel – Who Let the Gods Out

Reading Activity - Summarise each chapter as you go

As a way of keeping track of what is happening in the story, after each chapter why don’t you

summarise it on a post-it-note / piece of paper and then keep all of these together! You could

even draw little images to go with each one if it helps to remember.

Remember, when summarising you need just the key points – it shouldn’t be too long or too

detailed.

Reading Activity - Character Profile

Create a character profile for one of the characters we’ve been introduced to so far. This may

be a character description, an annotated drawing or picture (annotated with what you know

about the character – looks, personality etc) or may be a ‘Top Trump’ card stating the

character’s qualities and/or powers.

Transformations on a Pegboard

Someone using an elastic band and a pegboard used four pegs to make the blue square you see below. They challenged another person to double the area by just moving two of the pegs. You can see what

they did here.

Have a go at these:

Can you make this into a right-angled triangle by moving just one peg?

Can you enlarge this to the same shape with all the sides twice the length, moving just two pegs?

You could use our interactive geoboard below to try out your ideas. Choose the size of your pegboard then select the line tool and click on two dots to draw a line between

them.

Year Six Monday 6th July 2020 Computing – Digitial Photography Project (1/3)

We would like you to explore and experiment using digital photography and use this to start a photography project. You can use a traditional camera, digital camera or a mobile phone/tablet.

Now you can set up a photo with some of your ideas. However, usually the best

photos are unplanned – so keep your eyes peeled for good opportunities,

whether that is playing in the garden, seeing friends or out with your family.

There are some tips on the next page,

Have a go at taking photographs based around a theme (mine is usually always Chester!) Let’s start with Fun, Family and Excitement.

First take a moment to think about what these words mean to you, use the space below to list some ideas for each word. It might be a situation that you think of or an activity or a memory. Any ideas

you have, jot them down here.

Fun Family Excitement

Now, look at your ideas and think about some situations that would make a good photograph. Fill in the table to organise your ideas.

Fun Family Excitement

Who might be in your photo?

What might be in your photo?

Where might your photo be taken?

What are people doing?

What else could be in your photo? Pets?

Objects?

Year Six Monday 6th July 2020 Computing – Digitial Photography (2/3)

Getting the Right Shot Once you’ve got your equipment ready, it then becomes about composition and your subject.

Composition = This is what the photograph is made up of – what is in it and how they are placed. Subject = The thing or person that you are taking a picture of.

You might also want to change some settings to decide whether you want the background in focus or blurred.

14

Year Six Monday 6th July 2020 Computing – Digitial Photography Project (3/3) Some key things to remember:

Today’s ‘Digital Photography’ is more of a project that you can keep going with, rather than just one afternoon of something to do. It would be great to see how you are experimenting with different styles

of photos, different photo techniques and effects. Extra Challenge – you could combine your photos in a collage or montage. This could be done in the style of David Hockney (like the Friday Challenge from Week 4) or just a PicCollage grid to show the stages and/or different photos you have taken.

Example: Mrs Thompson’s David Hockney inspired photo

Please do make sure you share your photos with us!

Year Six Tuesday 7th July 2020 English – Shakespeare Biography (2/2)

Plan and WAGOLL for Biography


Give a summary of William Shakespeare and his life without going into too much detail.

WAGOLL: William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer of the English language. Having written 37 plays and composed many poems throughout his life, Shakespeare also invented over 1700 words, many of which make up our English language now. Despite passing away in 1616, his work is still performed all over the world and loved by many.

Early Life Where was he born? When?

Who were his family? Include information about what life was like in

those times.

WAGOLL: William Shakespeare was born in the English city of Stratford-upon-Avon to John and Mary Shakespeare. William was one of six children - he had two older sisters, Joan and Judith, and three younger brothers called Gilbert, Richard and Edmund. It is thought that William was born on 23rd 1564, although this is not definite. However, his baptism was recorded on April 26th 1564 and at that time children were often baptized three days after their birth. William’s father was a leather merchant and had held official positions as an alderman and a bailiff, which was almost like being a mayor. His mother was a local-landed heiress, which meant she came from a wealthy family. There are no official records of where William was educated, however it is thought he went to the local grammar school, where he learned about poetry, history, Greek and Latin.

Family Life Include information about his wife and children

and where he lived.

WAGOLL: In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, William married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older than him. The following year they had their first child a daughter called Susanna. Two years later, Anne gave birthday to twins – a boy called Hamnet and a girl called Judith. Sadly, at the age of eleven, Hamnet died.

Year Six Tuesday 7th July 2020 Maths Problem Solving and Reasoning – Extra Challenge (optional!) These problems from NRICH are extra challenges and are entirely optional.

A Cartesian Puzzle

Here are the coordinates of some quadrilaterals, but in each case one coordinate is missing! The coordinates are given going round each quadrilateral in an anti-clockwise direction.

1. (2,11),(0,9),(2,7),(?,?) 2. (3,7),(3,4),(8,4),(?,?) 3. (18,3),(16,5),(12,5),(?,?) 4. (13,12),(15,14),(12,17),(?,?) 5. (7,14),(6,11),(7,8),(?,?) 6. (15,9),(19,9),(16,11),(?,?) 7. (11,3),(15,2),(16,6),(?,?) 8. (9,16),(2,9),(9,2),(?,?)

The quadrilaterals are all symmetrical. This may be rotational or line symmetry or both. Can you work out what the missing coordinates are if you know they are all positive? Is there more than one way to find out?

Now plot those eight missing coordinates on a graph like this. What shape do they make and what sort of symmetry does it have?

Year Six Wednesday 8th July 2020 English – Shakespeare Biography (Assignment on Teams)

Biography about William Shakespeare Hello Year 6, A huge well done for your engagement and efforts with the work set for you in the Learning from Home packs. It has been brilliant to read the writing you’ve been uploading and great to see how you are taking on board the feedback and continuing to improve your writing. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be looking at one of William Shakepeare’s plays from the ‘Mr William Shakespeare’s Plays’ by Marcia Williams. But before we look at one of his plays, we would like you to write a biography about the famous playwright himself. The purpose of writing a biography is to give an account of someone’s life. Remember the structure of a biography:

Open with an attention grabbing introduction that summarises the main events and makes the audience want to read on

Key events are written in chronological order, organised in paragraphs with subheadings

Conclude with how William Shakespeare is remembered and the legacy he has left

Include facts about his life and achievements and write about these using a formal tone

Include a range of cohesive devices (conjunctions, pronouns, adverbials) throughout your writing to help each paragraph to flow

You may type your work on the template document provided (Word document) or upload it as a picture or file from the device you are working on (this may include a photograph of your handwritten work). Before submitting, make sure you re-read the whole of the biography to check it makes sense and that all basics (punctuation and spelling) are correct. Even though a biography is organised in paragraphs – it should still flow from one paragraph to another. As you are re-reading and checking your work, use the checklist (included on Support Slide) to ensure you have included everything needed for this piece of writing. Make sure you get the information about Shakespeare across. We look forward to reading your biography. Mrs Thompson and Mr Johnson Ps. Remember that this biography needs to be written in past tense and in third person.

Supporting Resources from your Learning from Home Pack this week:

Science – Importance of Exercise (1/5)

Activity 1: Watch the below Bitesize videos about the importance of exercise

Activity 2: Exercise Investigation

Read the below information about exercise and measuring your heart rate,

The importance of exercise https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zgqw2hv

Exercise requires effort, raises your heart rate and works your muscles. Of these three, only one – the heart rate, can be measured accurately. The amount of effort spent on an activity is subjective, it will depend on the activity and will differ person to person. While we can use specialist equipment to identify which muscles are being worked during exercise, we cannot easily measure how well the muscles are working. Heart rate, on the other hand, can be easily measured by taking our pulse.

Pulse You can measure your heartbeat by measuring your pulse. You pulse is also known as your heart rate. It is the number of times your heart beats in a minute. You can measure it by taking your pulse for a minute, or count for 30 seconds and multiply by 2, or count for 15 seconds and multiply by 4. Tips for finding your pulse:

Use your index and middle fingers to find your pulse (don’t use your thumb, because this has its own pulse!)

Press gently and lightly. If you press too lightly or too firm, you will not be able to detect your pulse

Finding your pulse

Neck – press your fingers on the side of your neck. This should be the soft hollow next to your windpipe

Wrist – hold out one of your hands with your palm facing upward and your elbow slightly bent. Put your fingers on the inside of the wrist at the base of the thumb of the hand facing outwards.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zgqw2hv

Year Six



Exercise Investigation – How does exercise affect our heart rate?

We would like you to compare heart rate after completing different activities.

You will need to :

measure your (or your subject’s if you have someone else who will take part) resting heart rate

complete the exercise/activities for a set amount of time

measure your (or your subject’s) heart rate

To make it a fair test:

Ensure a resting heartbeat is taken before starting the activities – be sure to leave enough time between exercises for you/your

subject to return to their resting heartbeat. If you do it too soon after the previous activitiy the heart rate will already have been

increased.

Complete each activitiy for the same amount of time – so you can see the impact of the different exercises on heartrate.

Use the same method to measure the pulse – take it in the same place (wrist or neck) and use the same way to measure

(whether that is the heartbeat for 1 minute, or 30 seconds and multiply by 2 etc).

Use the same equipment to measure the time (and make sure you can do this accurately)

The same person (you and/or subject/s) to do all activities so you can compare the activities on heart rate.

Method:

Decide the exercise/activities to complete and how long for, use this information to complete the table to record your results

Record your results on the table (Page 31 in this pack)

Plot your results on a bar graph (Page 32 in this pack) and discuss your results, was it what you expected? Why/why not? If you

were to do it again, would you do it any differently? Why/why not?

Extra investigation:

Once you have completed the above investigation, you could also get your family involve and complete

A family investigation – in which you do one activitiy for a set amount of time and then compare heart rates (see table on Page 33 in this

pack)

something extra to do …

Create your own Word Art!

Please visit https://wordart.com/ and create your own Word Art. Here are some examples:

Your Word Art could be anything!

It may be nice to do one linked to Gorsey Bank / Year 6 – maybe with names of your class mates,

favourite memories or words linked to Gorsey Bank etc.

Click on ‘Words’ this is where you add in the different words you want on your Word Art. Remove the ones that are there already by clicking on them and then clicking ‘remove’.

Click on ‘Shapes’ to choose the shape you want your words in. There is a selection you can choose from, or you can ‘+Add image’ which will add an image from your device and/or saved from Google, or you can ‘+Add text’ and type the text you want the shape to be (that is how we got the 6HT and 6JJ shapes)..
