Hello Thursday !

Good Morning Year 6!

It's Salma again! How are you all? Hope that you have had a great week?
Aoife and I have really enjoyed our first week in school. It's been great to catch up with everyone.

​I miss the children in the other group and the ones at home but we are having fun in my group and I'm so proud of the work they are all producing!

Let's crack on with our learning! Malala's story has been so inspiring.  Let's read chapter 14- secret school. 

Use the text to answer the following questions: 

1. Why do you think girls under 10 could go to school?
2. Do you think Madame Maryam did the right thing opening the school?
3. Why do you think she encouraged the girls not to wear uniform?
4. How do you think Malala felt walking into school?
​5. How was going to school like a 'silent protest?'

Watch the video below: Write down notes for why it is beneficial for girls to go to school.  Make a note of any facts, figures and ideas. You will  need these notes tomorrow:

We have some great maths work happening in school! We are so pleased with how everyone is working and remembering their number facts to help them!

Before we start todays lesson: Can you remember the following mathematical terms- write or give an example to explain them:

*Factor
*Multiple
*Cube number
*Square number
*Prime number
*Product 

Let's try some of these tricky problems! You can use purple mash to discuss it too!

Remember to try and find as many ways as you can do answer the question.
Finally, here's a Sahara challenge for you....

To end today we would like you to complete some lovely art work. 

Take a look at these pieces of work by late artist Leonard Afremov. Leonard Afremov was a Russian artist who faced many challenges due to his Jewish heritage. He moved to Tel Aviv and soon opened an art gallery. He faced more discrimination because he was Russian. 

Take a look at his amazing art work. What do you notice? 

Make a list of the similarities....

Using oil pastels or paint to create  your own Leonard Afremov style painting! You could even try with crayons!

Think about drawing with your pencil first and then adding the effects on next. If you need further inspiring then watch this great video below!

That's all for today! Have a great day! Send in your work and see you soon!

Salma, Aoife and Clare!
