Hello year 6!

We hope you’ve had a lovely bank holiday weekend with your families.

Thank you once again for all your hard work. It’s been so lovely to see you all contributing to our video meetings and producing wonderful pieces of work.

This week, we are moving on to study a new subject: Rights.

Here is the bingo card/checklists for this week:

Tackle the Big Maths challenges, practise with TT rockstars and read on BUGS Online.

Hello year 6!

We hope you’ve all had a relaxing weekend!

Last week, we were so impressed with the way that each of you contributed to the activities, tasks and meetings. It was wonderful to see each of you giving 100% and producing excellent work.

This week, we are moving on to study a new subject: renewable energy! Here is the bingo card:

Cymraeg 4.5.20
Saesneg 4.05.2020-2

Literacy

Renewable and sustainable energy

A Welsh task this week.

This week, you will be looking at different types of renewable/sustainable energy and you will be expressing your opinion about them.

*It is important that you look over the Powerpoint/loom video that Mrs Miles-Farrier has done in order to understand the introduction to this week’s work. This will be on TEAMS for you.*

In brief, there will be three tasks for you to complete across the week:

1) Create a questionnaire for your family members about renewable/sustainable energy (details on the loom video).

2) Research advantages and disadvantages of different types of renewable and sustainable energy.

3) By the end of the week – write an opinion piece about your favourite renewable energy in order to persuade people that this energy is best for the situation (details on the loom video).

Numeracy

Our maths skill this week is learn about the volume of cubes and cuboids. As we’ve recently learnt about area and perimeter, this is the next step.

Give Mr Lewis’s videos a watch and listen as he goes through the Powerpoint and the steps you need to take to measure the volume. Apologies that it’s in 2 parts but I spoke too much to fit it into one.

As soon as you’ve completed the powerpoint and have tried the exercises, go ahead and try the red, orange, green or green green challenges.

Good luck and if you have any questions, please let me know.

And last but not least…

Tackle the Big Maths challenges, practise with TT rockstars and read on BUGS Online.

Remember to contact us on TEAMS if you’ve got any issues or questions.

We will also be updating each class’ website with more of your impressive work.

Thanks,

Mr Davies, Mr Lewis and Mrs Miles-Farrier.

Hi pupils!

We hope you had a great weekend in the sunshine and are ready for another week of school activities. Thank-you again for your contribution towards the video conversations on Friday. As teachers, we all enjoyed them so much and it was great to see you all and hear how you’re getting on.

The same routine will be presented again this week with 6 activities based on our new theme of The Changing World. These activities include numary and literacy based work as well as other areas as well. The activities can be found here:

Hello!

Welcome back to our online school and to our summer term! We hope you have had a lovely Easter holiday with your family and that you have had time to relax. Thank you once again for all your hard work over the past few weeks. It has been wonderful to see your fantastic work.

Thank you parents for all your continued support at this difficult time. We hope that you are all keeping safe and well.

Our new theme: Newid Byd

This week, as part of our new theme, we will be focusing on inventors and devices.

Your language task this week is to write a factual report about your favourite invention. Try to include as much information as possible about your chosen invention in your report. You might like to discuss some of the following questions:

• What was the world like before your invention was created?
• What effect has this invention had on your lives or how has it changed the world?
• Who was the inventor and what inspired him/her to change the world?

There are resources to help you, including some ideas for your favourite inventions, on TEAMS.

This week, we would like you to write the report in Welsh.

Area and perimeter will be our maths topic this week. Make sure you watch the videos to remind yourselves what these are and how to calculate them. Then, go ahead and attempt the challenges we’ve set on TEAMS.

Videos to help with Red/Orange/Green work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaXyssHUdgM – Area of rectangles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_ANZUjCaUA – Perimeter of rectangles and shapes with straight lines

Video to help with Green Green work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uArtx_xA9Cs – Perimeter and area (Green Green) up to 3 minutes 45 minutes,  unless you want to attempt something very challenging.

In addition, we would like you to continue completing the Big Maths tests once a week, using TT rockstars and daily reading.

We will be available on TEAMS throughout the week. Please don’t hesitate to ask for any support or questions. We will also be updating our google sites with your wonderful work.

Thank you,

Mrs Miles-Farrier, Mr Davies & Mr Lewis  

Hello Year 6!

Well it’s been wonderful seeing so much excellent work of a high quality again this week. We have really enjoyed reading powerful pieces of poetry, interesting factfiles about famous people from the Second World War and loads of fun quizzes about all sorts of different topics!

We’ve reached the Easter holiday! Fingers crossed that the sunny weather will continue so that we can enjoy some fresh air once a day!

During the next fortnight, we have set a health & well-being project for you to complete. The task is to create your own fitness circuit session (in the style of Joe Wicks!). Plan the activities carefully so that you work different parts of the body and so that the session lasts approximately half an hour. Then, why not lead the session for your family?

You can also complete the Big Maths tests and BUGS online readings over the next fortnight and you’re welcome to complete any tasks or activities from the past two weeks that you haven’t had a chance to do so yet.

We as teachers will keep an eye on our class’ TEAMS over the holiday.

Thank you for all your hard work this term, Year 6! You’ve shown real enthusiasm and maturity as we’ve learned together about an important and profound subject. We are so proud of you all.

So relax and enjoy the holiday as much as possible!

Mr Davies, Mrs Miles-Farrier & Mr Lewis

Hello and welcome to week 2 of your home learning experience. How’s it going with you so far? We hope you and your family are well and are keeping busy during this time.

We have been so impressed with your work so far as it has all been of such high quality and we particularly love that you’ve been so creative with the ways in which you’ve completed each task. We hope you’ve had an opportunity to browse the new ‘Google Sites’ website that now belongs to your class where your teacher has been uploading your work for it to be shared.

We have prepared new activities for this week in addition to continuing with TT Rockstars, BUGS online, daily Welsh reading and Big Maths. If you need links to these, they’re all below this message in last week’s homework.

Hello parents and children,

Thank you for your continued support during these strange and challenging times, we are thinking of you all as families and wishing you the best.

We hope that we can support you and make you and your child’s experience of learning at home as calm, interesting and as happy as it can be. Do what you can and no more, we will support you however you can.

Every Monday, by 10.30am, the year 6 staff will outline your child’s work. Greater detail will be available on your child’s class team available here: Teams: https://hwb.gov.wales/

Alongside the tasks you will find supporting resources, guidance on how to go about it. Remember, if your child is unsure and you don’t feel you have the answer then they can ask their peers and teachers on TEAMS.

Please keep in mind even in school we wouldn’t end the week with 30 perfect pieces of work, every child is different and every child works at their own pace and at their own level. Don’t worry if your child can’t manage every element of the task.

23.3.2020

Starting Monday the 23rd of March, there are 12 various activities for you to choose from on here and on TEAMS. Try to complete around 2/3 a week.

Thank you, Year 6 teachers.

Hello!

What an exciting week. We were so fortunate to meet Luke Evans, a Hollywood star on Tuesday! Well done for asking such mature questions. In addition, we celebrated World Book Day on Thursday and had the chance to meet such inspirational people and teach the Foundation phase about our favourite books. A busy week indeed.

Creative dance team – I would like to thank you for all your hard work. You have worked brilliantly. Remember to bring your costumes in on Monday for us to have a dress rehearsal and to give permission on ParentPay. The competition will begin at 2pm. We are the second competition therefore; we would imagine that we would be finished around 3pm at the latest. Please let us know if you have any concerns about collecting from Barry Memorial Hall.

Your homework is to have a look at the English spelling words. There will be a test next week.

Enjoy the weekend!

Year 6 staff
