Morning, team! Your tasks today are maths, art and science!
First, though, a quick word from Miss Wilson…
Happy Wednesday! As you know, we should have been going on our Y6 residential today until Friday. I’m absolutely gutted we can’t go. It would have been a fab celebration after a tough week and you guys deserve the best celebrations for how hard you work. For the rest of this week, I’ve decided to scrap maths for a Virtual Residential where you could win the title of Camp Champion or Camp Hero. Off we go!
Y6 Residential – Day One
Click here for a video explaining today’s activities.
Click here for a summary of the Virtual Residential Day One Tasks.
- – Use two colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel (a warm colour and a cool colour such as red and blue/orange and green/yellow and purple) as this will create more of a contrast. These are called complementary colours!
- – Think about where your light is coming from and where your shadow is going to be
- – What colour do you think the shadow will be? Will it be the warm colour or the cool colour?
- – What colour do you think the lighter parts will be? Warmer or cooler colour?
- – Fill the page as best you can
- – Don’t forget to look at the detail on the object as well its outline
- – Maybe sketch it out in pencil first before going into colour
- – Think about form. The object is more than likely going to be three-dimensional
– Johann Sebastian Bach
– Amy Beach

1.Firstly have a look at this document to show what physical and human features might be.
2.Using these examples, sort them into physical and human features.
3.Can you think of any other physical and human features you could add?
Hope you have stayed motivated to complete your learning for today. We’ll be back tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the day.
Hello!
Hi everyone,
Hope you’re doing well. I’ve attached a few photos of my lockdown which has involved lots of den building, walking in Gledhow Valley Woods (spot the ducklings), taking my cat for a walk (long story), buying crocs (a clear sign of my middle age), and my greatest accomplishment: learning to do plaits!
Home learning
What great expressive reading of the recent fluency text!
Using Oxford Owl online is a great way to read a variety of texts.
Another creative design of the Eiffel Tower and a visit to see the real thing!
Wow – this model must taken some time and patience.
I also managed to find a photo from visiting Paris 15 years ago!
We loved this junk modelling – combining design technology, science and money education!
More creative junk modelling
Great money education and homophone spelling learning.
Science – experiments and trees
Keeping calm with some yoga
