Maths

WB 27th April-Vertically opposite angles

Have a go at the White Rose lessons for the first 3 days. They can be found at:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/

Day 1-Lesson 1 and 2 (Vertically opposite angles and angles in a triangle)

Day 2-Lesson 3 and 4 (Angles in a triangle-special cases and angles in a triangle-missing angles)

Day 3-Lesson 5 (Maths Challenge)

Day 4 and 5 are a different topic but still to do with different shapes (polygon).

Day 4-Have a go at the tasks linked to circles. Read through the learning reminders at the start. They are acting like a teacher-reminding you of the key learning points. Try the questions-you can choose either to have a go at the mild questions or the hot questions (these are a little trickier) or you could have a go at both sets of questions. If you are still finding it tricky have a go at the ‘A bit stuck questions’. There’s a challenge at the end if you finish quickly.

Day 5-Quadrilaterals-If you have access to power point, watch the slides but if you cannot access power point have a look at the Learning reminders. Then choose either to have a go at the mild questions or the hot questions (these are a little trickier) or you could have a go at both sets of questions. If you are still finding it tricky, have a go at the ‘A bit stuck questions’. There’s a challenge at the end if you finish quickly.

PE-

If you fancy taking part in some physical activities at home have a look at ‘Real PE’. The school uses these resources and now the company have offered parents an opportunity to try some of the activities at home during school closures.

It’s really simple:

Log into:

The website address is: home.jasmineactive.com
Parent email: parent@howardprim-1.com
Password: howardprim

Then choose which activity you would like the children to take part in. There are a variety of activities you can do throughout the day if you wish.

If you log onto facebook and join their closed group-you can then post photos of you and the family taking part in these activities. They have weekly competitions with winners announced on their facebook page. There are all sorts of different prizes so have a go!

Design Technology

Since so many of you enjoyed last week’s challenge, this week we would like you to create a dish using a sepcific ingredient. Your chosen ingredient is a potato. Your dish can include other ingredients, but we would like you to use a potato somewhere in your dish. After making it, please write a set of instructions on how to create your dish. Finally, you will need to evaluate the process: what went well and what would you do differently next time?

Like before, please do send pictures/videos of your dish (and you making it – if you want) via Class Dojo!
