Welcome back Summer 2!

Good morning Year 6!
​
How are you? I hope that you had a restful half term? Did you get to enjoy the glorious weather we had over the week?

​Send in any photos of what you have been up to! It is the summer term and sadly your last term in primary school! I can't believe that we are here and have made it this far together!

Let's have a fantastic term and enjoy this time together!

Before we begin... did you get to see the staff video for you? Just in case you missed it,  take a look at the video below! 

Let's begin our great learning for this term!

The topic we are going to focus on is called 'MAKING A DIFFERENCE'. 

What do you think this means?
Who can make a difference?
How do people make a difference?
​Has a difference already been made?

These key words might help you. Do you know what they mean? Do these words have a connection?

Inspiration,    change,     motivation,    belief,      impact,                    discover,          learn,           problem,         act,            goal. 


Think about these questions and answer them giving us examples.  You can add images and facts to support your answers. I look forward to seeing your interpretation of the questions.

We will read many great stories this term but we are going to start with this amazing true story by Malala Yousafzai called 'I am Malala'.
Read the opening of this story and answer the questions using the text to help you. Don't forget to send in your answers to admin@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk or upload them to purple mash!

This term in maths we will carry on with problem solving, try out some new investigations and prepare you for year 7. Here is a great one to get you started:

Is there only one way to solve this?
How many  different answers can you find?

Some hints to get you started:
Begin by making the 100. So for example if the triangle was worth 10 then the calculation would be:
10 + 10 = 20 
100 - 20 = 80
80 divided by 2 = 40
10 + 10 + 40 + 40 = 100
To solve the value of the heart, I would need to add 10 + 20 = 30 + ? + ?

How many ways can you solve this problem? Share your findings!
Good luck!

In topic will be looking at people who have made a difference in the past and today.

Your task is to find and research different people who have changed the world or have campaigned to  make a difference  to our world.
​
​How many inspirational people can you find in the following categories? See if you can complete all the boxes!

Have a great day of learning! I look forward to seeing your wonderful work!
