Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Gribben's P6 Homework Page

Just a reminder to check out the school Twitter page today, there are lots and lots of short videos of professional people talking about their work and the role that STEM plays.

Just to say how nice it was to say hello to you last night, it was great to see how well you all looked. Mrs Gribben x 

Here is a grammar exercise with a focus on suffixes for you today. I’ll post the answers this afternoon.

Today we’re going to revisit area & volume. As a refresher, you may wish to watch the short bbc bitesize clip first then give the worksheet a go. I’ll post the answers later this afternoon.

Remember, the Sumdog Competition is still live and if it’s a wet day, perhaps you could log in for a wee ten minutes?

To think about two well-known dance routines, try the images below.

Hopefully I’ve given you a few ideas of interest to you but remember there’s lots I’m sure you can do with your imagination out in the fresh air.

Transition Differences

Today’s transition exercise gives you the opportunity to consider the differences between primary & secondary. Be sure to talk over your ideas with friends and family, they’ll no doubt have noticed the same or similar points when they were your age.

1. So the first area for your attention today are the ideas from the James Dyson Foundation, these have an engineering focus. Engineering Challenges for STEM week
2. The second activity is to watch this short clip from Mr Minchin. You’ll remember we tried to make towers in class from spaghetti & marshmallows, well give it a go but with strong paper & tape. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFRaZ_gSSH/?igshid=1b5s1vkgdiuy0
3. The final activity today is a design challenge set by Miss Clark, see the image below for more information. Have fun!

So your literacy task is to revisit homophones by selecting the right word to correct the passage which you’ll find on the link below.

Thinking About Homophones

The second activity I have is a quiz from First News to test your knowledge of recent world events. You could try it or use it for a family quiz night.

FirstNews In-the-Know-Quiz

So maths today has a focus on negative numbers, have a look at the bitesize clips and when working on the worksheet for Q2 & 3 visualise or draw out a number line if that helps. As usual, I’ll post the answers on Wednesday afternoon 😉

Find the Difference

Keep in mind that the Sumdog competition is still live, so give it a go if you can.

So our focus for today is technology and the activities are split into two areas.

1. Have a think about stop motion animation. I’ve attached a link below that will give you guidance on how to create a stop motion movie.

For a bit of fun, I’ve included a few short clips that Mark & Adam made just using his mobile phone and pausing the recording to change the position.

2. The second activity today relates to wearable technology, the clip from Newsround is worth a watch and then have a go at the tasks on the worksheet.
