Welcome to another week of home learning!

Good morning everyone

Welcome to another week of learning! Like last week, we would like to see you completing: 1 Maths and 1 English lesson each day; 1 Science lesson per week and 2 other Topic lessons per week, as well as one handwriting/spelling (it’s all one lesson this week!). The activities can all be copied onto paper, and therefore do not need to be printed. (The links to the English lessons will be updated daily.)

Also you can listen to the first 2 chapters of our class book: The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd on the blog (class book).

Maths

Investigation: Strings Start with a 2-digit number, e.g. 24 Multiply the tens digit by 9 and add the units digit: 2 x 9 + 4 = 22 Do the same with your new number: 2 x 9 + 2 = 20 Keep repeating again… and again… and again… until…? Repeat using other starting numbers. What happens? What do you notice? Can you find and explain any patterns? Share your findings with your teacher via email or post them on our padlet page https://padlet.com/cargyle/y6homelearning

Weekly Science & Topic Tasks

D&T	Design or make/remodel a simple item of clothing that makes a statement about you. Can you use inspirational images from different media? Can you assemble the item with a range of technical approaches e.g. stitching, bonding and appliqué methods?
PSHE	Choose an object or possession that has personal significance for you. Write a short explanation of what the object is and its significance. If you would like to, you could post a photo of it with your explanation anonymously on our padlet page https://padlet.com/cargyle/y6homelearning so we can try to guess whose object is whose!
Science	Investigate how exercise affects your heart rate You are going to plan and carry out a simple science investigation to find out how exercise and heart rate are related. https://www.stem.org.uk/resources/elibrary/resource/315584/what-affects-your-heart-rate Watch the first 2 videos to get an idea of what you are going to do. The only equipment you need is a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. (You don’t need the chocolate, but may like to eat some when you’ve finished!) You need a space that you can exercise in (inside or outside). ·        Find a way to measure your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) and take your resting heart rate (when you have been sitting still for a little while and haven’t been running around. ·        Now decide how long you will exercise for and write this down. ·        Next plan your investigation: how will you make sure your results are accurate? How will you know it is a fair test? Predict what you think will happen to your heart rate when you exercise. ·        Record your results and comment on whether your prediction was correct. Would you do anything differently if you were to do this again? Now watch the third video – about how quickly your heart rate changes back to the resting rate after exercise. The last video is also very interesting – perhaps eat the chocolate whilst watching this!

Don't forget to reply to the email sent to your adults from your teacher. Also, we'd love to see some of the work you are doing – either by email (to your teacher) or upload to padlet https://padlet.com/cargyle/y6homelearning to share with year 6 adults and students. Thank you for all the examples that were shared last week. Equally, if you have any problems with accessing or understanding this learning please email your teacher.
