Class 6
Fancy some World Record breaking art?
admin on: Class 6
Isabel, in year 2, pointed this out to me and I had to pass it along ...
Like many of us, you may have been enjoying Rob Biddulph’s brilliant Draw with Rob draw along videos, which have amassed a huge online following and now been watched over 2 million times on YouTube.
On May 21st, Rob is going to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the World’s Biggest Art Lesson.
Rob will be live on YouTube at 4.00pm (BST) but in order for the attempt to meet Guinness World Records’ criteria we need participants – young and old – to register for the free lesson at www.artworldrecords.
The attempt will also help to raise money for those most impacted by COVID-19. Participants can donate what they can and companies have also begun to pledge financial support. These donations will go towards high impact charities to counter the impact of COVID-19, including stopping the disease’s spread, providing immediate relief to those most impacted and preventing future pandemics.

Morning all,
Computer programming anyone? If you want to have a go, click on this link: https://www.khanacademy.org/join/ABGHEPDK
It will take you to Khan Academy and enrol you in my class. I'd be really interested in what you think of this. If it's successful, it's something we will continue for the rest of this year. I'll be able to monitor your progress and hopefully give you activities to do together. Give me feedback please.
Did I ever tell you that I used to work at a calendar factory?
I got sacked because I took a couple of days off.
Maths: https://www.thenational.academy/year-6/maths/find-the-value-of-missing-angles-year-6-wk3-1
Again - I'd like comments on this website please; I'm trying different things.
Thanks for your reviews on the writing. It's 'interesting' and they are all different. Well done! I am STILL waiting for Dark for some reason... come on...
Science: Magnets! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zfrxhbk
I'd like you to do some Art today please. It's going to be a lovely day - please go outside and find something that inspires you. Capture it somehow. It may be a pencil sketch, a collage, a painting, a photograph - whatever you think works best. Send it to me... let me know if you want me to share it.
Finally, I'd like you to think about making something to eat for your family. Research it today. More tomorrow...
I used to hate facial hair... but then it grew on me!
Photos...
Good exercise - thanks Alex and Reuben for sharing with us all.
These are all photos of birds, taken by Rio.
Have a fantastic day everyone... I'm still in the office... eating KBLA's chocolate flapjack - which I've hidden in the fridge... ssh!
Don't forget exercise and reading!

Sometimes, I just tuck my knees into my chest and I lean forwards...
That's just how I roll!
Morning all,
I hope you have seen that I've started putting the stories on the Whole School Blog - I'm going to carry on all week, so you should all see your work. Read some of the others. While I'm thinking on, two groups are still missing... Dark and Strike of Wuhan. Come on...
Reading: I want you to read ALL four stories on the Whole School Blog, that I put on yesterday. Then I want you to write a review for them. Which was your favourite? Why? Send me your review and I'll post it tomorrow.
Exercise: I'd like you all to do some form of exercise that you've NEVER done before. Nothing dangerous Fin! Get a photo and send it to me. Here's Rogan doing some very dangerous exercise:
Don't attempt this without an adult standing by!
GPS: Semi colons - can you remember these? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zdtny9q
Some great work by Caitie here - and look at Reuben's:
Brilliant!
Geography: This is about natural resources. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z6p8jhv
Music: I'd like you to listen to something different. Try the album 'Graceland' by Paul Simon. This is influenced heavily by the music of one particular country. See if you can work it out. Paul Simon was married to an actress from Star Wars. Who was that? It's not music I normally listen to, but it's very evocative. See what you think - let me know.
Now... some photos... and some more work:
Breakfast of champions, Leila!
Samurai!
And look, maybe the final visit to Netherthong by KBLA:
It might be a plan to get in touch with KBLA - she leaves town next week, for her new life. I've told her to stay in touch - especially now I know how good she is at making chocolate covered flapjack!
What do you call a man who can't stand?
Neil.
Seeya!

Good morning/ Buongiorno/ Bonjour/ Guten Morgen/ Buenas Dias/ Ohayo Gozaimasu/ Dzien Dobry!
Welcome to another week.
This week we were supposed to be doing cycling; you were all going to ride around the village without getting run over and it would have signalled a) the end of the half term and b) the beginning of the end of primary.
Sorry, Miss H here with an updated guess who ... (Remember, one of them is Mr C but which one?)
SATs are finished and projects have begun.
I feel like I should continue to set you maths and English, as you've missed quite a lot of lessons, but I'm going to take the maths from BBC Bitesize and your English will be part of your projects. I will throw in some grammar from time to time...
Reading continues to be important - FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES. Reading is so, SO important. I'm now reading 'The House in the Woods' by Mark Dawson - it's a bit creepy, but creepy can be good. What are you reading? I'm always thrilled to see photos of you reading and I know other staff members look at our blog and see what books year 6 read - recommendations are always welcome.
Exercise continues to be important - FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES. On Sunday, I met up with Mr Kershaw and we socially distanced while walking around Holmfirth and Upperthong - we saw Holly on our travels and Mrs Johnson. Make sure you get some exercise today. Joe Wicks? A walk? Cycling?
BBC Bitesize -
Maths - Challenges for Y6: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd87xyc
English - Using hyperbole, similes and metaphors: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhcc92p
History - Henry VIII anyone? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4b8jhv
Do any of these, all of these, some of these - whatever you fancy.
Here is your topic...
Population - I'd like you to find out which are the top 5 countries by population and compare them to the United Kingdom. If nothing else is gained from this, I'd like you to try to remember the population of the United Kingdom. Then, I'd like you to list the top 5 cities in the world by population and compare them to Holmfirth (or Huddersfield, if you can't find Holmfirth data). Can you find Netherthong's population?
Which of these cities would you like to live in? Do you have a favourite? Are they what you expected? WHY do you think they are so populated? What brought people there and not to other places? Write a short report about YOUR thoughts... I'll be interested to read these.
If you really want to test yourself. Try to guess the top 5 countries and cities first. See how you do.
Afterwards, test your family... see how many they can get.
The cd topic was great... here are some more which came in later:
Darcey
It was very difficult to choose a winner, but in the end it was unanimous - so congratulations Theo - you really have a talent; I know history and technology and science are things you love, but marketing might be in your future! Well done. Have 5 house points!
We had a visit from some Coopers on Friday:
I'm in school ALL week, this week. I should be flying to Chicago on Friday, but... hey ho... I'd obviously much rather be in Netherthong - especially with the weather we are going to be getting this week. Instead of watching the Indianapolis 500, I'll enjoy gardening and cutting back the ivy on the house. Honest!
I hope you are all well. We are missing you and, who knows, we may be seeing you soon. Plans are afoot!
Take care...
Mr C
PS... What sits at the bottom of the ocean and shivers?
A nervous wreck
Fun on a Friday!
