Your Last Day - Leavers 2020

Trent Class - Leavers 2020



You are all part of a very special Year Six group, one that has never experienced a final year in primary school as you have. I am very proud of the way you have responded to the national situation caused by Coronavirus and how this has affected you all personally. You have had to face disappointments and disruption to the end of your primary education and endure being separated from your friends. However, you have faced all of this with courage and fortitude: you have completed online learning and shown how independent you are; you have respected and followed the advice given by the government and shown how mature you have become and you have supported your friends by keeping in touch on social media. Coping so well with all of the challenges you have had to face, that no other Year six team have had to experience, can only have given you a skill set that will stay with you and help you to fulfil your dreams. I sincerely wish you all the very best for your future - a future that is full of promise and success. 
Good luck everyone - always remember how special you are!
With love and best wishes to you all. 
Mrs Whisker

Oh The Places You'll Go! by Dr Seuss

This is a wonderful story about moving on that I planned to read to you on your last day before our Leaving Assembly. I could have recorded myself doing this, but I have chosen to allow the inspiring Michelle Obama to read it to you in light of the current global events. I hope the story inspires you and fills you with confidence for your future. There are some activities to do so you get the most out of the book, if you choose to.

A message from the Prime Minister:

On Friday 10 July at 10am, the Prime Minister will be giving an address to all school leavers which will be broadcast on Facebook and YouTube.

A final bit of fun - we hope these clips make you smile!

Have a great summer everyone!

Summer Term week 11

Weekly Maths Tasks 

Please click on the link below to access this week's daily maths activities. This week is further revision on area and perimeter, including triangles and parallelograms, and new learning of finding volume:  


Weekly English Tasks (plus daily reading)  

Writing Task.
Continue writing a recount of your memories whilst at Carlton. Remember to begin by working through each year group you have been here and bullet point the memories from that class - this will form your plan. The number of years you have been at Carlton will determine the number of paragraphs you will have. Look back on these times by talking to you friends as the talk will prompt further memories. (Make notes of your conversations if you need to.) 

First, get your plan together -most of you will have done this but remember words and phrases NOT full sentences for this - now move on to drafting where you will begin to expand your points into full sentences. Think carefully about how you will introduce your recount - it need only be a couple of sentences. See the links below for help with organising your ideas and the features of a recount. 
Once your draft is done, proof read it carefully using a ruler to slow you down and help you to focus on each word, phrase and sentence. look for things that need improving (check out the list that Chloe has put together to help you).

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS AS WE WOULD DO IN CLASS TO SHARE MEMORIES AND GET YOUR IDEAS GOING


Spellings: unstressed vowels revision

Unstressed vowels are vowel letters that we either do not sound, or we do not sound very distinctly (replace with a schwa), as we speak. This is why unstressed vowels cause spelling problems as they are easy to forget and miss them out. 

For example: memory
Memory often sounds like memry because the vowel is an unstressed vowel.

Activity: investigate unstressed vowels. Start by highlighting those in the Year 5/6 spelling word lists. Copy out then circle those in the words below:

jewellery    poisonous    voluntary    explanatory    company    difference    reference

literature    victory          mystery       boundary       factory        slippery       ordinary

history        machinery   business      frightened      widening    interest        separately

     

Science:
This week is revision of Classification. Who was Carolus Linnaeus?

Watch the video then complete the quiz.
Activity: Focus on the Animal Kingdom; how is this divided into two groups? Think about the vertebrate group; how is this divided into its five groups? Here is a diagram to help you:

Compile a list of features for each of the five types of vertebrates which identify why an animal would be placed in that group. Compare your list with your friends - have you missed any?

PSHCE:

The Archbishop of York Youth Trust (the organisation behind the Archie Project -Young Leader's Award) has launched four sessions to help you to continue to be Young Leaders in these challenging times below are links to the first two. We will do the second two next week. I hope you enjoy doing these as you made brilliant Young Leaders in Year 5.

Computing:
It is really important that when you use any technology you do it safely.
Below are links to information and activities to do with using the internet and phones safely. 
You could maybe design a poster encouraging safe use of technology.

Picture News - 

Story: A red, white and blue paint job on the Prime Minister's plane has recently been revealed.

Question: How important are first impressions?

Virtual Assembly

Dam a stream:What could be better on a warm day than getting into the stream and trying to block it? Just collect twigs, branches, stones and rocks to stop the flow of water.

Thank you to those of you who are emailing some of your work and activities to me. If you haven't sent anything in yet, I would love to see what you are doing. Please email photos to:
