Y6 Maths – LO: decimals

Hope you guys enjoyed the treasure hunt yesterday! The pictures/videos you’ve been sending are amazing and the items are very creative! We will definitely do one again soon.

Today’s learning is all about decimals. Last week, you were rounding them but this week, you’ll be using place value knowledge, timesing (Is that even a word?) or dividing and adding or subtracting. As always, if you need help, you can email me.

Challenge
Write a story that goes with these calculations:

3.97 + 12.22
8 – 5.3

2.7 x 10

Y5&Y6 Reading – LO: fact and opinion

Your learning is all about facts and opinions.

First of all, use this (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs44jxs/articles/z3wgqhv) BBC Bitesize
guide to remind you of the difference between facts and opinions.

Now, open up the FirstNews paper and go to page 4; it’s called 20 things to know and tell. Read the article and then answer these questions.

Challenge

We would like you to tell us your opinion about any article from this week’s FirstNews. We want you to email us with your views. You should tell us the article you’ve read and what you think about it. However, in your explanation, we’d like you to include some facts, too. You can show us that you know these are facts by underlining or writing them in bold. We’re looking forward to hearing what you think!

Y5&Y6 Geography – LO: I know some European countries and their capital cities.

Today’s learning follows closely from yesterdays. Yesterday you were asked to pick six new countries in Europe and find out and remember their capital cities.

Here are six that I learnt!

Latvia – Riga
Moldova – Chisinau
Slovenia – Ljubljana
Estonia – Tallinn
Montenegro – Podgorica
Lichtenstein – Vaduz

Using four out of the six new capital cities you have learnt, you are to create a fact file for each one! In your fact file, I would like you to provide the following information:

Population
Size (area)
Location (within the country)
Flag
Language
Currency
Main River (if there is one)
Distinguishable features (e.g. a mountain or national park nearby)
Climate
An interesting fact!

Remember, when researching your capital cities, be safe online and think about how we kept safe online whilst in school!

If you have any questions about this learning or are stuck at all, please email me – I’m always willing to help!

Keep smiling!
