columns.

Remember ….

x by 10 – digits move 1 place to the left.

x by 100 – digits move 2 places to the left.

x by 1000 – digits move 3 places to the

left.

History

Key question:

Why is Anne Frank a

significant person in

history?

Anne and her family were

Jewish. During World War

Two, the Nazis ruled her

country. Their laws made the

lives of Jewish people very

hard. To escape, Anne and her

family went into hiding in an

attic.

Task: Read the

information provided in

the PowerPoint slides.

Use the research

template provided

below. Can you answer

the questions about

Anne Frank? Use the

given websites to

conduct your research.

As we have come to the

end of our unit on

World War II, your

challenge is to produce

your own WWII

themed quiz.

You should choose

three different areas

you wish to focus on

(for example, rationing,

aircraft, the Blitz, etc.)

and write five questions

for each round.

When you’ve finished

writing your questions,

take on the role of quiz

master and test out

your family! You could

even telephone a

relative and ask them!

Tues

Dance.

Use google

to search

for ‘Just

Dance’ and

pick two

upbeat

songs to

dance

along to!

--------- Remember to

description-lesson-2-reading-

focus-year-6-wk3-2#slide-1

As with yesterday, work through

the video with the online teacher.

Key points to remember when

answering inference questions –

you are not guessing! You are

piecing clues from the text

together and using evidence from

the text to support your answers.

year-6/english/setting-

description-lesson-4-figurative-

language-year-6-wk3-4#slide-3

Start today’s video from 4minute

15, where you will begin to think

about the purpose of a setting

description in a bit more detail. In

the video, the teacher talks about

writing a setting description at the

end of the unit (we won’t be

writing a full setting description

this week, though). What I want

you to think about most closely

today is figurative language.

Different types – and how they

can be used effectively.

For the activity, choose the

picture that interests you the

most.

Once you have chosen your picture,

make notes of similes, metaphors,

personification, hyperbole and

onomatopoeia you might want to

use (come up with more ideas than

you will need). Write 10 high

quality sentences using a variety

of sentence styles, punctuation

and figurative language.

Daily arithmetic: See separate

booklet for a set of ten mixed

fraction problems. What can

you remember from last week?

Top tips:

-To add or subtract a fraction, find a

common denominator.

-To multiply a fraction, times the top and

times the bottom! Simplify if necessary. If

a whole number, put over 1.

-To find an equivalent fraction, remember,

whatever you do to the top, you must do to

the bottom and vice versa!

-To find a fraction of an amount, don’t

forget the rhyme: “Don’t be a fraction flop,

divide by the bottom and times by the top!”

White Rose Maths

Summer Term, Week 5:

Lesson 3 - Divide decimals by

integers

Watch the video clip:

https://vimeo.com/418156950

Try the corresponding

worksheets in the separate

booklet.

Science

Key question:

How do we investigate

breathing rate?

As we know from our PE

lessons, the respiratory

system has an incredibly

important job. When we

breathe in, our blood is

oxygenised (oxygen is

added to it), and this

blood is then pumped

around the body by the

heard (circulatory

system). The oxygen is

used to produce energy

all around the body.

Today you will be doing

an experiment to see

what impact physical

activity has on

breathing rate.

Go to the worksheet and

follow the instructions!

Challenge:

After enough rest, can

you complete the first

part of this

investigation again?

Choose a different

exercise.

Which exercise led to

the biggest increase in

breathing rate? Why do

you think this is? Can

you find an even more

demanding exercise to

do for one minute?

Another reading activity to focus on inference

today – but with a different style and feel.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zdnkd

6f

Have a look at this BBC Bitesize lesson. Above

the first video, there are two questions for you

to think about as the lady reads the extract to

you:

1) What is your first impression of Gemma?

2) How do you know that she cares about these

newspaper clippings?

Then, watch the video.

For activity 1, you are asked to write a summary

paragraph that explains why Gemma ‘sighed’.

There is a brief blurb underneath the cover

photo, which will also help you. Gemma’s mother

is missing – she gathers newspaper headlines

about other people’s mothers. With this in mind,

read this extract again, why do you think she

sighed? Your summary should explain to a new

reader, what Gemma is like, what she does, and

why she ‘sighed’.

Activity 2:

Following the second extract, you are now asked

to write about Mike. You will find some answer

stems on the website, which will help you start

your answer. Try to find several pieces of

evidence to support your answer – which will be

in paragraph form.

Activity 3: EXTENSION

To challenge yourself, have a look at activity 3,

which asks you to write the next paragraph of

the story. There are lots of questions that the

reader will have after the first two extracts.

Extract 1 has examples of the author’s

description, where extract 2 shows how she

utilises dialogue. Pick a style for your paragraph

and try to match it to the author!

worksheets in the separate

booklet.

Top Tips:

Decimals to 3dp:

1 tenth 1

10 = 0.1

1 hundredth 1

100 = 0.01

1 thousandth 1

1000 = 0.001

Religious Education

Key question:

How do I share my

vision for the world?

Have you ever seen a

patchwork quilt?

What do you notice?

By working

together

and being united for

change, we can make a

difference to the world.

Task:

What is your vision for

the world? Create a

piece of art work using

words, pictures or a

combination of the two. Possible ideas of visions:

-Protect our planet from global

warming and plastic pollution.

-Stop wars so that we live in

peace and harmony.

-End world hunger and poverty so

all have equal chances in life.

-Stop deforestation to protect

innocent wildlife.

-Put a stop to bullying and racism

and treat all as equals.

-Embrace all opportunities so

that you have no regrets.

-Appreciate the little things in

life and not take anything for

granted.

KQ:What are Modal Verbs – 22/5/20

KQ: What is the respiratory system? Tuesday 19th May 2020

Wednesday 20th May 2020

KQ: How do we investigate breathing rate.

In this investigation, you are going to explore the effect of exercise on your breathing rate.

You will need: a pencil, a stopwatch (or clock with a second hand), a bit of space and

somewhere quiet!

1) First, based on your experience, what do you predict will happen to your breathing

rate when you start to exercise?

_____________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

2) Next, sit for two minutes without talking or moving. Using your stopwatch to time

yourself, count how many breaths you do in one minute. Write the results. This is

called your resting rate. Fill in the table.

3) Now, choose an exercise that you can complete for one minute (eg, bunny hops,

skipping, star jumps, press ups). Choose something that will make you work hard!

4) Immediately after your exercise, count your breaths for one minute and write them

down.

5) Do this for another minute, and another, and continue until your breathing rate

returns to your resting rate.

How many minutes did it take to return to your resting rate?

_____________________________________________________________________

Thinking scientifically, can you explain what happened to your breathing rate, and why?

Resource 2 Scenarios and strategies

From the ideas below, choose the three that you think would be the most helpful

strategies for managing influences and helping decision-making for Arjun and the three

that you think would be most helpful for Lily. (You could tick, circle, or highlight them

in different colours for the two characters.)

Arjun has saved up his birthday money and wants to spend all of it on some trainers he has seen. He can just about afford them as they are on sale today online. Mum says he would be wasting his money as she has only recently bought him a new pair of trainers. It would be good to save up some more but they are the coolest trainers Arjun has ever seen and he really wants them.

Lily’s chatting with a group of friends from school. Some of them start saying nasty things about Uma, another girl in their class. Lily has her number as they go to the same football club, so her friends tell Lily to send Uma a nasty text. Lily does not want to fall out with her friends but she thinks Uma’s nice – they got on fine together at football.

Identify who or what is influencing them

in this situation and why. Decide

whether that influence is

positive/helpful or negative/unhelpful

Do nothing straightaway:

take some time to think

about it.

Ask someone they trust

for their advice.

Make a list of the pros and

cons/advantages and

disadvantages of each.

Think about the potential consequences of

each possible decision, for themselves or

other people.

Walk away/stop taking part

in the conversation.

Explain how they feel about the

situation with the other

person/people involved.

Other ideas?
