Good morning Y6...
Miss H here again!
I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and didn’t each too much chocolate! I have already told year 3 and 2 but I am quite proud of myself so going to tell you this as well. In between enjoying the glorious weather, I have been spending time painting. For Christmas, my sister got me a colour by numbers canvas to paint with a picture of a dog (She said that she had finally got me what I always wanted, my own dog!). I started this over the Christmas holiday but have not had the chance to add to it. I have found this so therapeutic and many hours have been lost while I have painted listening to music on the radio. Here is what it is going to look like …
Here is what mine looks like so far …
So, on to today:
Reading: the usual 30 minutes, at least, please.
Science: We are still looking at the topic of Living things and their habitats. Animals can be grouped in many different ways. Have a look through the PowerPoint. If you can, cut out the statements and stick them on to the table, to show the characteristics of each group of animals. Here are the sheets and pictures of the sheets are here:
Now, imagine you have discovered a new creature. You will draw a picture of your animal and create a fact file detailing its characteristics. Before you design it, think about what group of animals it will belong to. Make sure you include the characteristics of that group.
Once you have designed your animal and completed its fact file, ask someone at home to classify your animal. This means it needs to be clear which group of animals it is part of, so that they are able to classify it correctly.
For example, you may want to design a new species of arachnid. It should have 4 pairs of jointed legs and be cold blooded. Its front pair of legs may be used to hold its prey. It should not have antennae. Your new animal could then be any shape, size or colour as long as it displays these characteristics. Here is the sheet for you create your own creature. I can’t wait to see what you think of …
Computing: On PurpleMash, carry on writing your blog diaries! I love that you are all commenting on the different blogs, so keep it up.
Art: In the news on Tuesday, the artist Tom Croft, has painted key workers for free so they have something to remember how everyone has come together and worked as a team. Here is a video link to find out more about what he did:
Today, I would like you to take some inspiration from him and create a picture of the people in your home, so you can look back and remember who you have spent so much time with. You could sketch your picture, make a collage or any other way you think of. Be creative! I look forward to seeing your pictures!
I have been putting the Lego challenges on the school blog so if you have missed any, you can find them there. Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email me your creations! If you don’t have Lego, don’t worry any construction material will do …
Make sure you enjoy the sun what it is here, you never know how long it will last in Yorkshire!
Stay safe everyone!
Miss H
