Weekly Timetable (22/06/20)

Ahoy there!

As of next week, some of us will be together again and I am delighted about that. Looking forward to​ it very much! If you are not back with us in Y6, we will miss you dearly but keep going.


Please ensure you are using myon.co.uk everyday. As part of your English next week, you will need to read a text on myON. So, if you are having any issues regarding logging on, please do not hesitate to contact us. Check out Mr Crow's marvellous myOn reading here. He might even be able to help you out if you are struggling!

Stay safe and hopefully see you soon x

NCETM activity (Thursday)

​​Do the activity below based on your maths group.
Yellow, Orange , Green and Red:
Last month Kira saved 3/5 of her £10 pocket money. She also saved 15% of her £20 birthday money. How much did she save altogether?

Blue:
Jakob says to Peter, ‘Last month I saved 0. 5 of my pocket money and this month I saved 1/3 of my pocket money, so altogether I’ve saved 40% of my pocket money’. Do you think Peter should agree with Jakob? Explain your decision.

Some nice ideas to get you through the week

As you have made a start on your autobiography this week, talk to your parents, carers, grandparents or siblings about what they remember, look through old photographs etc- can you add it into your work? The weather is supposed to be brilliant this week so get outside and have a picnic to enjoy those funny or momentous stories of your childhood. If all else fails (rains) you can throw an indoor picnic. Get off those screens and get talking to your loved ones!

Instant Ice Science Investigation

Watch ice form before your very eyes in this fun science experiment!
You’ll need:

• A water bottle (you may want more than one, just in case!)
• Ice cubes
• Small bowl
• Towel

1. ​Place your water bottle in the freezer. Lay it flat on its side rather than upright. (For some reason, it freezes better this way). 
2. Cool the water for about two to two and a half hours. At the two hour mark, take out the bottle and test it. If you can slam it on the counter and nothing forms, the water isn’t cool enough yet.
3. When you get one that hardens, it is ready to go, but you’ll have to work quickly!
4. Turn a bowl upside with a towel underneath (to catch the spills) and place a large ice cube on the bowl.
5. ​Carefully pour the water slowly onto the ice cube. The water will create a column of frozen ice!

​
In about 20 seconds, the water will get too warm for this trick to work. But you can repeat it with all of the water bottles you have!
