Good morning everybody!
I bought my daughter a fridge for her birthday.
I can't wait to see her face light up when she opens it!
That was a joke - her birthday was actually on Sunday. One of the best things that she got was a game called Articulate. I really recommend it. We played last night and I think it is the first game that we have ever played as a family where nobody has got upset or fallen out with anyone. It was a lot of fun.
So... Topic: Invent a new game. This must be something that you can play around the table with your family, or friends.
You must - give it a name, think about how many players you need, what the layout is, what equipment is needed (dice? cards?), how do you win? what is the object of the game? what are the rules?
Finally, I'd like a diagram of the game with labels to make it clear.
You never know, this could make you rich!
We will be doing the same topic this week in school.
Reading and Exercise: 30 minutes at least for each please.
Geography: This is all about the Lake District - enjoy! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd49ydm
GPS: Commas, brackets and dashes revision - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrdyvk7
Why aren't koalas actually bears?
They don't meet the koalafications.
Have a lovely day!

Morning,
Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut?
He just needed a little space.
Reading and Exercise: the usual 30 minutes please. All the children here in school are reading from 9:30 until 10 and we are outside for a minimum of 30 minutes each day. We still haven't mastered football with social distancing, but we are in discussion...
History: Vikings. I've always been interested in this subject and, in the last few years, Mr Hobson has got me into the Amazon Prime show, Vikings, which I watch with Paddy. The history is incredible - especially the story of Ragnar Lothbrok.

I hope everyone at home is safe and well.
For those of you trying to get hold of me, the email address is still class6@netherthongprimary.co.uk but please bear with me, as I'm back in class each day now and my non-contact time is each Friday, during the afternoon. If I don't get back you before, that's when I'll be sat planning the following week and responding to correspondence.
If there is something that requires more immediate attention, please ring the office here and they will get a message to me.
Thanks, as always, for your continued support.
Stay safe,
Mr C
End of the week!

Morning all,
Just to add to Miss H's baking/cooking (not sure which is which?), please make sure you continue to read and do exercise - EVEN in this horrific weather!
Here is proof that we have some Y6 people in school:
Have a lovely (WET) weekend!

Hello, Miss H here! I am gutted that we won't be making this DT topic together but I thought I would still give you some ideas to allow you to try different foods from around the world! This week, why not try Chinese food?
Spring rolls are filled, rolled appetisers or Dim Sum found in East Asian and South East Asian cuisine. The name is a literal translation of the Chinese chūn juǎn (春卷 'spring roll'). The kind of wrapper, fillings, and cooking technique used, as well as the name, vary considerably within this large area, depending on the region's culture.
Remember when cooking to use techniques:
The Bridge
The Claw
Peeling - Remember to always peel away from yourself!
Here is a recipe for Spring Rolls for you to try at home:
Let us know how you get on, good luck!
Miss H x
