Year 6 - Week 6
01.06.2020

To Year 6,

Maths
We are continuing to use White Rose Maths home learning this week. The video can be found at https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/. The worksheets are in the grid below for Week 6. This week you will be working on converting fractions to decimals and percentages.  

Literacy

Following positive feedback from parents and children alike, we are switching to using the BBC Bitesize literacy lessons. There will be a video or videos to watch and 2-3 activities for your child to complete. In some cases there is a sheet that you can print off (we are unable to do this in school as the daily lessons are not available in advance).

Please complete the daily lessons – follow the instructions on the Home Learning page below to access this website.

Other Subjects
This week is Geography Week at Pixmore, where we will also be launching a whole school project about Ernest Shackleton and his expedition to Antarctica.

You will find a whole school topic grid with activities for you to choose from. These range from science experiments, art, research and writing opportunities.

We would like you to choose at least 3 of these activities to complete over the course of this week, one of which needs to be a writing activity.

**FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ATTENDING SCHOOL, PLEASE AVOID CHOOSING THE ACTIVITIES IN THE GREEN BOXES AS THESE ARE ACTIVITIES WE WILL BE DOING IN SCHOOL**

We’d love to see what you’ve been doing and are aiming to make some whole school displays with the work you all do on Shackleton over the next few weeks, so please send in your work to your Seesaw account or This email address is being protected from spambots.

Leavers challenges

Don’t forget about our special Year 6 leaver’s challenges (details can be found in the Leavers activities part 1 document in the week 3 topic area below). Thank you to those who have already sent in signatures for the leavers t-shirt. I hope you have been practising the song and look forward to receiving some recordings soon!

Whole School challenge

Please remember that you and your child’s mental wellbeing comes first. These are just suggestions of activities you may like to complete. If you are unable to access any of the resources let us know what we can do to help. If the work is too hard or there is too much then just do what you can or look at work from a lower year group. These are strange times so please do not worry about completing everything.

We miss you very much but we know you are excellent learners and will persevere in this new situation.

Remember you are in charge of your learning, stay positive, have fun and just try your best.

Sending our best wishes to you and your families,

Miss Pocock, Mrs Bowden, Mrs Inman, Mrs Court, Mrs Stone and Mrs Hector
