Good morning Y6...
Miss H here again!
I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and didn’t each too much chocolate! I have already told year 3 and 2 but I am quite proud of myself so going to tell you this as well. In between enjoying the glorious weather, I have been spending time painting. For Christmas, my sister got me a colour by numbers canvas to paint with a picture of a dog (She said that she had finally got me what I always wanted, my own dog!). I started this over the Christmas holiday but have not had the chance to add to it. I have found this so therapeutic and many hours have been lost while I have painted listening to music on the radio. Here is what it is going to look like …
Here is what mine looks like so far …
So, on to today:
Reading: the usual 30 minutes, at least, please.
Science: We are still looking at the topic of Living things and their habitats. Animals can be grouped in many different ways. Have a look through the PowerPoint. If you can, cut out the statements and stick them on to the table, to show the characteristics of each group of animals. Here are the sheets and pictures of the sheets are here:
Now, imagine you have discovered a new creature. You will draw a picture of your animal and create a fact file detailing its characteristics. Before you design it, think about what group of animals it will belong to. Make sure you include the characteristics of that group.
Once you have designed your animal and completed its fact file, ask someone at home to classify your animal. This means it needs to be clear which group of animals it is part of, so that they are able to classify it correctly.
For example, you may want to design a new species of arachnid. It should have 4 pairs of jointed legs and be cold blooded. Its front pair of legs may be used to hold its prey. It should not have antennae. Your new animal could then be any shape, size or colour as long as it displays these characteristics. Here is the sheet for you create your own creature. I can’t wait to see what you think of …
Computing: On PurpleMash, carry on writing your blog diaries! I love that you are all commenting on the different blogs, so keep it up.
Art: In the news on Tuesday, the artist Tom Croft, has painted key workers for free so they have something to remember how everyone has come together and worked as a team. Here is a video link to find out more about what he did:
Today, I would like you to take some inspiration from him and create a picture of the people in your home, so you can look back and remember who you have spent so much time with. You could sketch your picture, make a collage or any other way you think of. Be creative! I look forward to seeing your pictures!
I have been putting the Lego challenges on the school blog so if you have missed any, you can find them there. Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email me your creations! If you don’t have Lego, don’t worry any construction material will do …
Make sure you enjoy the sun what it is here, you never know how long it will last in Yorkshire!
Stay safe everyone!
Miss H

Morning all,
Time sure is flying, isn't it? Wow!
I'm going back into school this morning and I'm pretty excited about it. If you are on your family walk today, please do knock on the office window, as I might just be able to come outside and say hello. I saw Oli yesterday, outside doing some gardening with his mum and I spoke to Jack on the phone - it really made my day! I am really missing all of you so much!
Why shouldn't you trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
Some AMAZING flags to show you this morning - just incredible - really well done!
Aren't they amazing? Lots of thought (and fun) went into those - thank you parents/grandparents/brothers and sisters for helping out.
Comprehension: 1) It is a fact based autobiography 2) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 3) So that the tastes would be influenced by taste alone; at that stage of the development, a name would serve no purpose 4a) Cadbury's Coffee Cream bar 4b) as a 'benchmark'; as a known quantity, for comparison purposes 5) took part enthusiastically 6a) the were old enough to have a wide experience of eating chocolate; they knew every existing bar intimately 6b) 'connoisseurs' 7) not distinctive enough in flavour to be widely popular 8) 'irresistible'.
Ukulele : Mrs Greenwell has spent quite a bit of time putting together some video lessons for those of you who are in the club. Please go to: https://www.netherthongprimary.co.uk/curriculum-1/curriculum-pages/musc
Reading: Don't forget the 30 minutes, everyone AT LEAST!
Chess: I hope you are all still enjoying this? I am at level Bishop3 on the training and am really enjoying the videos. I would love to play against one of you and am investigating this.
English/Topic: I would like you to investigate someone famous from the country you are doing your topic on. This could be a politician, a revolutionary, a singer, a sportsman, ANYONE who is famous in that country. Then I would like you to write a report about them - this will be non-chronological and will include some fascinating facts, as well as some things that we would all NEED to know about them. Include some photos please and I'll show the best ones I get.
Some of your mysterious stories about a family member were brilliant! Here are a few:
Now, at this point, I seem to be having some technical glitches and things keep crashing, so I'm going to wrap up the blog, without adding any more photos; don't worry - there will be more later (hopefully!).
Maths: Checking Calculations - VERY IMPORTANT skills to have. Read the explanation carefully.
Speed Tables today everyone - here they are:
Stay safe and, hopefully, I'll be back to you later. Just remember that 5/4 of people think they are poor at fractions!

Morning all!
Mr Biscuit is starting to walk on four paws a bit, so we locked the cat flap from one side to let him have run of the house last night, without being able to get out. Obviously, then the local stray (Oreo) got in, but couldn't get out again. This caused quite a kerfuffle at 4am, I can tell you, so I've been up a while fixing the cat flap and we've just managed to get him to swallow a tablet the size of a small car (slight exaggeration).
Anyway... it looks like ANOTHER lovely day out there! So, let's look at some photos because I'm happy to report that lots of you are still reading! Excellent. I began a new book last night - Hidden, by Paul Doiron. I love these books - they are a series about a game warden, called Mike Bowditch, who lives in the state of Maine. The stories really transport me away to another place and I get lost in the exciting wilderness and drama.
Georgie is reading the Land of Roar and can't put it down!
It's so great to have a book you can't put down. Here are more readers...
I think Jack is winning for the weirdest reading style!
So... at least 30 minutes please today. Thank you for the photos - keep them coming. Especially those of you who we still haven't seen. I'll be making phone calls from tomorrow to make sure you are all getting these blogs, are accessing the work and doing ok.
English today - I would like you to choose a family member, who is 'locked-down' with you and write a short story about something mysterious that they have started to do since the lock down, that they have never done before. This might be something as simple as reading a book, or planting seeds, but I'd like you to imagine another, more fantastic reason for this new habit. Give a full description of the person and a prediction of what will happen once we are all 'let free' again. I'll look forward to reading some of these.
Here are some pieces of creative writing from yesterday...
Very good, eh? Well done everyone.
Maths - Today we go back to BIDMAS/BODMAS/PIDMAS (depending on which version you prefer). I don't mind which section you do, but you should ALL be happy with section B and, if you can, I'd like you to try section C.
Topic/Art - People seem to be really enjoying this, so thank you for the feedback. I know that Reuben said it was the highlight of his day, so that's fantastic! I wasn't going to continue with it today, but... Now I'd like you to create the flag. I know some of you have already drawn it, but I want you to be more creative. What can you make it out of? Just HOW BIG can you make it? Did you ever watch Art Attack? Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzcZVXWRmZE It might give you some ideas. I CAN'T WAIT for the photos!
Chess - I love, love, LOVE how you are getting into this. I have now created my own user: MrCruedo - please challenge me to a game by going into Friends and searching for my username. Good luck!
Reading Comprehension - Easter theme: Chocolate on page 10 of the Schofield and Sims booklet. Answers tomorrow.
Max is doing something VERY COOL. Have you ever wanted to be a Marine Biologist? Check out: https://www.sixsenses.com/en/at-home-with-six-senses/become-a-marine-biologist-at-home
He's also riding a tandom... so be careful on the roads, that's all I'm saying...
Don't forget Joe Wick - keep getting the exercise and the fresh air.
Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go to the toilet? Because the p is silent! Sorry...
Here are some more of your photos. Stay safe and have a lovely day everyone.
Mr C
Jack chilling.
Caitie has sea monkeys... I know!
Finally, I'll ask you... if you see a robbery at an Apple Store... does that make you an iWitness?
That's it for me :)

Apologies all - thanks to Lyela for spotting - the photocopying isn't clear for the maths.
Here is the grid for 14-18
