Happy Wednesday, Y6!
It’s nearly time to say goodbye to Moortown forever.
I was originally going to put a link for a farewell video I’ve made on the website tonight but I think I’ll save it so that we can watch it as a class together for the first time on Thursday. So the new “release date” will be this Thursday evening at 7pm instead. Thanks for understanding!
Today’s task is a little bit different – the first part of a three day series of Dragon’s Den!
There are several stages that you need to go through covering a wide range of subjects and skills.
The first stage is Design and Technology.
You need to design a product. It can be anything – hover boots, a chair, jewellery, headphones… whatever you like! There are lots of sheets online that can help you structure this design process if you need one. Think about the following questions:
- What is your product for?
- Does it solve a problem?
- Who is it aimed at?
- What are its features?
- What is it made of?
- What size is it?
Send in an email of your design.

Happy Friday, Y6!
Reading – LO: RIC or conveying character
Your task today is either a RIC from FirstNews, or you can choose to convey character from the short film ‘Catch it’ that we watched yesterday.
Click here for your RIC.
If you decide to convey character, you need to use the speech that you created for the different scenes yesterday and act them out! Feel free to change your speech slightly if you wish and remember we are conveying character – this means lots of expression in your voice, obvious body language between the characters and most of all, enjoy yourself!
You could choose members of your household to act out the scenes with you or you could do it yourself!
I’d love to see your attempts so please send them over if you get the chance.

Happy Thursday, Y6!
Reading – LO: creating dialogue
Your task today is to watch this video.
Once you’ve watched the video, I’d like you to click here to access the task for today.
Your job is to create some dialogue for the different scenes within the short film. You need to use your retrieval and inference skills to help you come up with some appropriate dialogue.
I’ve written an example piece of dialogue and explained how I used my retrieval and inference skills to help me do so.
If you have any questions, email me: oliwain@spherefederation.org
Good luck!

THE DEADLINE IS TODAY! Message your class mates and ask them if they’ve done theirs!
Here’s another reminder about the extra task I’d like you to do this week. It’s completely optional but it’d be amazing if we could get everyone in Moortown’s class of 2020 to take part!
I’d like you to film a short clip of yourself:
- describing a favourite memory from primary school
- explaining why it’s awesome to be you
- saying what you want to be when you grow up
Send your videos (they can be separate but no longer than 30 – 60 seconds) to my email address:
jenwilson@spherefederation.org

Science – LO: How do we produce energy?
Use this video to learn about non-renewable and renewable energy and consider the pros and cons of fossil fuels. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and your brain – get ready to pause the video and complete the tasks within it.
After you’ve watched the video, you need to persuade me whether or not to use fossil fuels, using the advantages and disadvantages you’ve just learnt. You could:

- write a poem/song
As always, send in your learning from home!
