Year 6 Leavers Hoodies

A Massive “THANK YOU” to Mrs Cheryl Collins who kindly organised the hoodies for this years leavers. She volunteers to do this every year but we know that this year has been quite a challenge.

The hoodies have been hand delivered to the Year 6 pupils by Mr Hughes and Mrs Smith and according to reports from home,  have been living in them ever since 🙂

Rhino Daily Challenge – Maths

Zios and Zepts

Deep in a rainforest, two new creatures have been discovered. They are called Zios ,which have 3 legs and Zepts, which have 7 legs.

The great explorer Nico, who first discovered them back in 2012, saw a crowd of the  creatures gathering on the forest floor. He managed to sneak up on them and see that there were both Zios and Zepts in crowd. However, as soon as they all saw him, they all rolled over onto their backs and put their legs in the air.

He could count 52 legs but had no idea how many creatures he was looking at.

How many Zios and how many Zepts do you think there were in the crowd?
Do you think there is more than one possible answer?

Rhino Daily Challenge – Writing

Morning,

Today I would like to imagine you are an explorer and you have discovered a new species in a rainforest.

Decide what rainforest you are exploring and then think more about the creature you have discovered. You could actually design a new creature of your own. Below is a design sheet that you could use to help you, there are 3 different versions to choose from.

Design your own animal sheet

Once, you have designed your creature, you can then produce an information text all about it.

Try and use the following features:

Title – name of your page

Sub title – introduction to your page

Sub headings – mini title for each section

Paragraphs – groups of sentences about the same information

Labels or captions – give extra details to pictures or diagrams

As well as general information about your creature, try and include sections on habitat and diet and also try and include an interesting fact!

You can can create these on paper or even use a computer programme such as powerpoint or publisher.

I would love to see your work, so send it in via dojo.

Highlights From Home Y5&6 – Monday 15th June 2020

It was lovely to see so many of you today on my journey with Mrs Smith to hand out your Y6 school hoodies and also those Y5s who had taken part in the half marathon challenge. It’s great that 10 of the Y6s shall be returning back to school on Monday. I shall be sending further details about this, eg, lunches, times, uniforms, etc…. on the Class Dojo site tomorrow.

After such a lovely warm day, it’s a shame that it’s ended with a downpour and some thunder and lightning (although some of you may like it!)
