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.

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?

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.

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

play.edshed.com/en-gb

 

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...
