Good Morning Year 6!

Hello everyone and welcome to the second half of the Summer Term.

We hope you had a lovely break from on-line learning over the holiday week and managed to enjoy some of the beautiful sunshine. Who saw the American SpaceX rocket launch on Saturday night? It was incredible! Just think, by the time you read this the two astronauts will have docked onto the International Space Station. I wonder if Jamie Drake's dad is back there...

Anyway, let's get going with today's learning. Sharpen those pencils, get your books out and switch your brains on!

Below are your tasks for today. Remember if you need to ask any questions go to the class blog and add a comment to 1-6-20 TODAY'S WORK. Keep checking the comments on this BLOG because that is where we will post our replies to you.

I’ve  set up a battle on Times Table Rock Stars. Boys against Girls. It will only last for 1 day and opens at 9.00am so make sure you don’t miss it.

For this half-term’s work, we have an American theme. We will be visiting North, Central and South America in our English and foundation subject lessons.

Our English work for the next 2 weeks is based around a film-clip called ‘Francis Brandywine’.

When you have watched the FIRST MINUTE ONLY of this clip, go to the English folder underneath the date folders on the Year 6 website page to find your 2 tasks for today. Enjoy!
