Good Morning!
Please keep sending us you work daily as we love seeing what you have been up to and giving feedback. However, please bear in mind, that we are working in school as well as doing remote learning and taking care of our own families, therefore it may take us some time to respond (if you send us work after 5pm, it may be the next day).
Keep active- try doing a Fitness task between lessons.
Let us know if you need any help with the tasks we set. Have a good day. y6class2020@ghyllside.cumbria.sch.uk

YELLOW, ORANGE, GREEN: horrible, terrible, possible, impossible, flexible, adorable, available, advisable, acceptable, believable
YOU COULD DO THE WORDSEARCH.
You could use fancy colours, highlight tricky sounds and letters, make them into a pyramid, play' Spot the Bodge' with them, put them into sentences, see how many times you can write them in 1 minute...I know they look easy but they need to be written correctly when your are writing.
Main Task:
LO: I can read and understand the main points of a text.
LO: I can answer different comprehension questions accurately.
Task 1: To ensure that you fully understand the Ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, we have found a comprehension about it. Choose which star is best for you; either one star, two stars or three stars. By the end of this, you should be feeling quite confident and ready to write about a section of the myth tomorrow.
Read:
This can be at any time in the day but should be for at least 30 minutes. Read to yourself, a grown up, sibling, younger cousin (use WhatsApp or similar), pet. Read something different e.g. a magazine or non -fiction book. Talk about what you read and magpie ideas and words for your writing.
You could even make a hot chocolate, put a big coat, hat, gloves and scarf on and read in your garden. Fresh air feels good!!!
Questions about your book (1).docxarea-of-a-triangle-pdf.pdfarea-of-a-triangle-answers1.pdfArea of Parallelograms Activity Sheet.pdfMaths (approximately 1 hour):
Times Tables
Practise your x tables- you could write ask a grown up to write you questions and put them out in your garden (like we do at school), throw a ball while saying your x tables, write them in chalk outside or chant them while doing 'spotty dogs'. Go on Times Tables Rockstars.
Main Task:
LO: I can calculate the area of triangles
Extension LO: I can calculate the area of parallelograms
Today you are going to learn / recap how to measure the area of a triangle by watching the clips below before having a go at the questions on the corbettmaths sheets. Once you have done this, if you want more of a challenge read through the 'plan it' power point below that explains how to work out the area of a parallelogram before attempting the 1,2 or 3 star sheets entitled 'area of a parallelogram'.
Extra: Complete a 5 a day task.
RUN UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS 3 X AND DO 10 STAR JUMPS IN BETWEEN!
