Welcome to 5/6K

2021/2022

Welcome to the 5/6K webpage 

This term our main topic is Ancient Greece. We will be focusing on the legacy left behind by the people of Ancient Greece. In English, we will be reading and writing myths, creating our own mythical beasts and completing a report about key events in Ancient Greece  Our science topics are human development and materials. In art, we will be creating a number of Greek artefacts including a vase, plate and clay tile.

PE will take place every Monday afternoon with Mr Leyland. Homework will be sent out every Friday and should be returned by Wednesday - 20 table points for all homework brought back in on a Monday!! Everyone will be expected to read at home as often as possible - they can read their reading book, a novel, a comic, the newspaper or a magazine. Reading is the key to everything at school and is a vital part of our school curriculum. The more reading children can do at home the more benefit they will see in the classroom. We have an extensive library in class and everyone is welcome to borrow, read, enjoy then return them. I am happy to recommend books if they are stuck for ideas of what to read.

Good morning everyone.

Time to get started with our first full week of online learning. You all did a wonderful job last week and I loved seeing all the work you produced. 

Spellings: This week we are looking at words containing the spelling pattern 'ie after c'. Make sure you practise your spellings every day and try to complete some of your assignments on Spelling Shed.

Maths: Formal addition and subtraction. Introduction video available on our Class Story.

English:

This week we are taking part in live lessons delivered by The Training Space. Follow the link below to join the live lesson which will run from 9.45am until 10.45am. As this is the first time we have taken part in her lessons, I recommend waiting until the live lesson has finished and watching the recording at 11am. This way you can pause and rewind as necessary. The lessons are based on the story 'The Secret of Black Rock'.

French: Around the house. Print the sheet, cut out the labels and stick them in the correct places around your house. Alternatively, write the labels on sticky notes or pieces of paper and put in the correct places. You can use google translate to help you pronounce each word.

Good morning 5/6K,

Firstly, I wanted to say well done for a fantastic start to our online learning journey. The work you have submitted to me this week has been fantastic and I am very proud of you all. Today for our home learning we have a writing task for English, place value work for Maths, introduction to Islam for RE and a bonus 'Draw with Rob' art session.

Reading: Next section of the castles book. Listen to/read the video file on Dojo then answer the questions (you don't need to print the sheet just write your answers on a piece of paper).

English: Today for English, I would like you to write a short account of the life of a cardboard box. Use the notes you made yesterday to tell us about what happens to the box throughout its life. Watch the lesson clip on Class Dojo to help get you started. Remember to use first person pronouns, fronted adverbials and precise vocabulary. I can't wait to read your work!

Maths: Rounding numbers. Use our foolproof (circle and underlining) method to round whole numbers up to 10,000.

RE: Watch the clip, read the fact sheet then complete the fact file about Islam.

Good Morning everyone,

Well done on a great first day of online learning. Keep up the good work!

Today we have English, Maths and Science worksheets. There are introductory videos available on Class Dojo for English and Maths.

I would also like you to complete three quizzes on Read Theory and complete the translation activity on Doodle Maths. There is a new battle available on TTRS which will run until Sunday night. I would also like Y6 to complete the active and passive questions on spag.com.

English: we are continuing on from our work on Monday thinking about the life of a cardboard box. There are two part to the worksheet - draw images to accompany the captions on the story board then collect key vocab to help with our writing tomorrow (the first box has been done for you). You can re-watch the clips below to help recap the processes and listen out for helpful vocab, for example: debarking. Challenge: pathetic fallacy/personification - How is the tree/box feeing at each stage? What are they doing?

Maths: Translating shapes. Remember to begin with one point, follow the instructions then plot the new point. When translating a shape, move each point carefully then join up the points to create the translated shape. 

Science: Our topic for science is classifying animals and plants. Your challenge today is to think of 26 animals and plants that begin with each letter of the alphabet.

Science challenge: choose one animal from your list. Find out about its habitat, diet and how it has adapted to its surroundings.

Don't forget to send me your completed work over on Class Dojo and get in touch if you need help with anything at all.

Good Morning everyone,

As you are aware school is now closed to most pupils and from tomorrow (Wednesday 6th January) we will be completing our work through remote learning. Each morning I will set the day's tasks on here (our class web page) and over on Class Dojo. To get our remote learning journey started, I would like you to complete any of the following tasks today. You can send me pictures of your work on your Class Dojo portfolio page, email me completed work on the class email address (padiham56k@padiham.lancs.sch.uk) or just send me a message on Class Dojo. If you need anything at all please do not hesitate to get in touch. 

Take care,

Mrs Bracewell

Spelling: Your week 14 Spelling Shed challenges are up and waiting for you.

English: Yesterday in English we started thinking about the life of a cardboard box - how they are made, used and then recycled. Challenge: find a cardboard box then tell me...what it was originally used for? How many different uses can you find for it around the house? (take pictures if you can or just write them down). 

Maths: I have added some coordinates tasks to Doodlemaths: remember that it's x then y when plotting and reading coordinates.

Art: In line with our Eco Week theme - recycling paper and cardboard - I would like you to use a variety of materials to create your own version of the cat picture below. I used wrapping paper, newspaper and old Christmas cards. 

Take care and I will be in touch tomorrow.

Our Reading Journey

This half term our class novel is Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver

Survival

To conclude our English work on the Brightstorm novel, Antarctica and Ernest Shackleton, we wrote non-chronological reports about the imaginary Third Continent. To begin our work, we create mini biomes to show the flora and fauna found there. 

Evolution and Inheritance

In our science work, we have been looking at how animals have adapted and evolved to survive. Our final lesson focussed on inheritance. We created our own Mr Men characters thinking about what features our new characters had inherited from their 'parents'.

Shackleton's Journey

In our English lessons, we have been reading the book 'Shackleton's Journey' which is all about Ernest Shackleton and his quest to bring his crew home safely from Antarctica. Our class turned into journalists this week reporting on events from the book and celebrating the safe return of the Endurance crew. We wrote and performed news broadcasts including interviews with crew members about their time in Antarctica. We are now writing newspaper articles about the events. Videos and photographs of our amazing writing coming soon...
