Wonderful Wednesday

Good Morning Year 6! 
​
It's Salma here! How are you? Hope you're having a good week so far?

The weather is glorious! I hope you have been enjoying it!

Let's take a look at the different challenges we have accomplished this week...

We had a race but Group 1 preferred to jog! We found this hard as we haven't been running in so long!

The tennis ball challenge has become a break time essential! Sara heard that Adam bounced the ball 700 times without dropping it- beating her score of 203.

So... she embraced that challenge and bounced the ball on the bat 1700 times without dropping!

So... then Adam F decided he would further challenge Sara... this is what happened.....

This is what happened 10 minutes later...

His final score of the day was 2600 bounces without dropping! Stay tuned to find out if Sara  or anyone else can beat this!

Let's start with some Wednesday gratitude. Can you fill the grid with things you are thankful for:

Let's begin today by looking at a thoughtful poem by poet Joseph Coelho called 'If all the world were paper'
​
Watch the clip below and hear the poet reading out his poem.

What did you think of the poem? Let's look at the language and imagery carefully.

Here is part of the poem

*Why do you think the poet is saying about his family?

*What do you think the message of the poem is?

*The poem has many metaphors. Can you find them? What do you think they are telling us?

Let's write our own metaphor poem. You can begin planning like this:
​

Pick something easy for the world to be...

Create a mind map of ideas -

What does your thing do?

​How will it affect your family? The world?

Here is one I started to plan...

There have been many young people who have made a positive difference to the world and they continue to campaign.

It's your turn! What cause do you want to campaign for? What change do you want to make in your community? Country?  World?

Talk with your friends and family and decide on a mission to help make a difference.  Begin to gather ideas and research facts you need to know to help you campaign! We will need these ideas tomorrow! 

That's all for today! Have a great day and we look forward to seeing your great work!


Salma, Aoife and Clare :)
