Mindful Monday!

18/5/2020

 
Good morning Year 6! 
This week is mental health awareness week! We will try some different activities to celebrate and support Mental Health awareness! Also, take a look at the assembly blog created by Barbara and Amanda. You can find it on our website and on purple mash!

I hope you had a great weekend? What did you get up to? Send us in some pictures of any interesting things you get up to this week! It would be great to see!
I would like to begin by saying thank you for all your work! I have lots to share with you! Take a look at the work sent in by: Adam M, Zhraa, Kalid, Aqilah and Sara...

Keep it up! I look forward to seeing what you send this this week!
Let's start with some literacy! For our last week of term we are going to read and watch the great Greek legend called 'The Horse of Troy'. Have you heard of this story? 
Read the beginning of the story. It has been narrated by a soldier.
Picture
Answer these questions about the opening:

1. What is the name of the location the solider is from?
2. What kind of place is it?
3. What kind of king was Menalaus?
4. How did Helen influence Menalaus?


Let's watch the opening to this story:
​https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/history-ks2-ancient-greece-the-trojan-war-troy-episode-1/zm477nb

Makes notes on the key events: 
Who are the main characters?
What happens to them in this scene?
Make predictions about what might happen next...

Let's begin some maths! It's great to see more of you trying the problems in maths. Remember you can discuss any work on purple mash and solve the problems with your friends!
Here is a great one for you to try from the White Rose Maths website.

Here are some hints to help you:

*32 coins are 10p coins. What would that add up to and what could I do with that information?

*Two 50p's make £1 so four 50p's make £2, six 50p's make £3.....

*Good luck and send in your working out?

This next problem is great! I would use pictures to help me. Firstly I would use drawings to help me with this.

Every bag of orange is double the bag of apples. 
There are 70 fruits in total and 7 bags in total. 

You could set your work out like I did below. A= apple and O = Orange
I'm still am working out the problem but I have made a good start... see if you can solve it and did you use a different method?

Let's find out about Ancient Greek life! The video below about explains how the Greeks have influenced our life today.
Watch the video and find the three things that have influenced our lives today.

Can you answer these questions?

*What does the word democracy mean?
*How did the Ancient Greeks run a government?
*How is democracy different today?
The theme for  mental health awareness is kindness! 
I want us to share and spread our kindness stories.
Here are some great stories of kindness that have been shared while we have been in lockdown:

This is Captain Tom Moore. He is an army veteran who walked 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS. On 100th birthday he raised £32million. His kindness swept the nation and he received 125,000 birthday cards on his 100th birthday!
Picture
This couple in Scotland spent £2000 on hand gel, face masks, and cleaning wipes. They made emergency packages and posted them to pensioners free of charge. Recently, they sent free baby food jars to families too. 
What is your kindness story? Send it in to us with a photo or drawing! Let's spread the kindness! I will share our staff stories too!
Have a great day! Remember to be kind and I look forward to seeing your hard work!

Salma and Clare :)
