Year 6

Hello Year 6!

Your homework over the holiday is to….have some time off, have some fun and relax a bit (with a good book!)

Seriously though it has been a tough half term with lots to get to grips with, so do use the time to re-charge your batteries and be ready for school again in November.

Please just make sure you pick up that reading book and read x3 times this next week.

Have a lovely, well-earned holiday and I’ll see you soon.

Mr Day

Hello and welcome back to Year 6!

You’ve had an AMAZING few days and I must say I am very impressed – you’ve all settled really well and you are definitely ready for the challenges ahead. We’re in it together and I am SURE that all of you have it in you to make excellent progress in your last year at St Mary’s.

I’ve kept homework fairly simple this weekend – see below. Please remember that homework is due on Monday.

1. Have a look at IXL.COM and see how it works. Spend a little time experimenting with it.
2.  x2 recorded ‘reads’ by Tuesday please. Green readers will be checked then.
3.  Learn gp 1 spellings and write x10 sentences in your book that contain them (spelling test Friday!)
4.  Make sure you are rested and ready for next week!

Parents – have you read the Y6 newsletter that was sent out on parentmail today?  Take a look if you can. There is also a video on the website, showing a few snippets of life at St Mary’s over the last few days..

Have a good weekend everyone!

Mr Day

Hi everyone.

If you check the Purple Mash blog, I have added a new thread about ‘back to school’.

Take a look and add your comments if you like.

Take care and have a good weekend.

🙂 Mr Day

Well done Evie! A lovely sentiment!

Y6 Boys vs Girls now live! Give it your best shot!

Mr Day

Hi everyone – I hope you and your families are doing well!

Here’s the link for the MUSIC BOX reading answers: DOWNLOAD

I really hope you are coping with the ‘lockdown’. At least the sun is shining eh?

Don’t forget that the No.1 thing you can do to keep your brain active is to READ. Use this time to really get into a great book.  You could even download or stream an audio book by visiting https://stories.audible.com/start-listen They are totally free during lockdown and there is a good selection of ‘elementary’ reads on there.

Keep an eye out for home-learning to appear here again on 20th April.

Until then, I hope you have a safe, happy Easter. You are in my thoughts. Mrs Roberts also sends her love.

Mr Day

Hi everyone. I hope you are well!

It appears that this week’s purple mash 2DO based on databases is unclear, so I have deleted that task and replaced it with lots of coding activities, which you should try to do in order, building up from the traffic lights (Gibbon) task through to the 2GO task (Gorilla). Try your best and remember to watch and listen to tutorials if needed. You can try these coding tasks over the next few days.

Also, the writing task is from POBBLE365.COM   – type this into your address bar to search for today’s writing tasks.

Thank you and take care!

Mr Day

So proud of Harry’s efforts with this rather dark and fearsome poem! I hope we don’t get weather like this over our winter!

Ho!Ho!Ho!

First – a massive THANK YOU to everyone for their kind Christmas messages, cards and gifts – too much!! I am very grateful!

Secondly – and this is the bit you’ll like – the only thing I’d like you to do regarding homework is to keep up the reading over Christmas. I think x6 reads recorded should do it as a minimum.

Wishing you all and your families a joyful, peaceful Christmas.

See you on Tuesday, 7th January 2020!

Mr Day

Hello Year Six!

A nice task for you this weekend!

Make your own maths advent calendar, complete with 24 carefully scored-out doors and 24 maths problems inside. REMEMBER: get adult help when you get to the stage of scoring with scissors – do not do this alone! Card and plain paper was distributed for this task on Friday.

The daily maths problem needs to be Y6 standard (IXL or Mymaths could help you generate short questions) and they could also be times-tables practise questions. Each ‘door’ should have the solution to the previous day on the inside of the door, whilst the next new question goes on the sheet underneath.

Do not stick the doors closed when you attach the backing sheet, or you won’t be able to open the doors!

Bring them back in on Tuesday, finished to a high quality – we will display them and open up each others’ calendars in the run-up to Christmas.

Please note: due to the panto today, spelling test for group 11 words will be on Monday. There will be a GRAND SPELL to get ready for on FRIDAY 6th December – all autumn term words please!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Mr Day
