Hello boys and girls,

I can’t believe it’s July already!! What has happened to the weather?! It looks like we could be in for another mixed week on the weather front so if you have some free time why not try some home learning tasks? And, don’t forget to read! 😊

Hi Class 8!

Well, well, well… 3 weeks to go until you leave Greenland for secondary school. I can’t believe how long-ago September (when you guys started Y6) seems now. It’s such a shame we weren’t able to learn together for the entire year but I hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of home learning.

Have a lovely week – Mr Armstrong.

Summer Term – Week 7 – (Monday 8th June)

Hi Class 8!

I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying a little more freedom this week.

This week’s home learning and for the forthcoming weeks are from the Oak National Academy and can be supplemented with BBC Bitesize. This is based on current Government recommendations and advice.

Please, don’t worry if you can’t complete the home-learning tasks every day – just try to do your best. I know some of you don’t have printers or your own computers so it’s not always easy. Try to share with your family and continue to help around the house in the best way that you can. Below is a suggested timetable, you don’t have to follow it.

As always, feel free to let me know what you have been getting up to or to ask for any help with what you are working on – your parents can email me at k.armstrong200@durhamlearning.net.

Summer Term – Week 6 (Monday 1st June)

Hi Class 8!

I hope you all had a lovely half term holiday and managed to enjoy the glorious weather. It has been great to get out and play some golf. I hope you have managed to get out of the house and enjoy some exercise too. I really wish we were able to go back to learning together at school today. Staying safe, however, is the most important thing at the moment so we are going to have to wait just a little bit longer. I hope you manage to take a look at some of the home learning activities but please don’t worry if you don’t get everything done.

Feel free to let me know what you have been getting up to or to ask for any help with what you are working on – your parents can email me at k.armstrong200@durhamlearning.net.

Mr Armstrong and Mrs Redshaw

Morning

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-6#schedule

Visit the Oak National Academy online for your daily morning learning. As this is our second week you will need to start from Week 2 (27^th April). If you spent half term working, you can move on to week 3.

Each lesson is taught by a teacher and is recorded as a video. You can pause the videos at any time so that you can complete one activity before moving on to the other one.

Week 1.

Maths. The maths lessons continue looking at fractions. You will start by looking at decimal and fraction equivalence before solving problems, including adding and subtracting fractions.

English. You will be learning all about information leaflets. You will start the week reading some before identifying features and then writing one.

History. Following on from WW1 you will consider if the Treaty of Versailles was fair before learning how Adolf Hitler rose to power.

Spanish. A lesson all about introducing yourself in Spanish.

Science. I know some of you are already very knowledgeable about fossils but this lesson will show everyone how they are formed and provide us with evidence.

Art. In this lesson you will learn all about Vincent Van Gogh and how he used visual texture in his sketchbook.

Afternoon

Use your afternoon session to do some more lessons on BBC Bitesize or complete some of the activities that you are more familiar with like TT Rockstars or Reading Plus. Also feel free to use this time to relax with a book or enjoy your daily exercise with your family.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zncsscw/year-6-and-p7-lessons/

BBC Bitesize is an alternative to Oak National Academy so just choose the lessons you are most interested in – I don’t want you to do too much as you will only be able to remember so much. There are lessons for all the different subjects so I’m sure there’s something that’s perfect for you!

Summer Term – Week 5 (Monday 18th May)

Hi Class 8!

Well, this week I spoke to nearly all of your parents and it sounds like you are all doing brilliantly. I’m so proud of you for the way you are dealing with this situation. I am changing the way I set your home learning tasks this week – but please feel free to continue doing some of the original activities that I have set you (PE with Joe, TT Rockstars, White Rose Maths and Reading Plus etc.) if you would like to more.

This is also the last week before the half term holiday. Therefore, as I know some of you prefer to stay busy, I would love it if you can do a project. This can be done this week or left until the half term – it’s your choice.

So, what is this project? It is called ‘My Time at Greenland’. As you are all individuals, I’m sure each project will be very different so I don’t want to tell you exactly what to include. Some ideas to get you started might be your favourite memories, fact files about your teachers (be kind…) or recapping some of your favourite history and geography topics. It might be nice to ask your parents to hunt out your old end-of-year reports for some inspiration – I always laugh at my old school reports…they are so old that they’re even written in pen! Be creative! Your project may be digitally produced, using a laptop or tablet. You may wish to set it out like a scrapbook or make it more like a poster or model – it’s your choice!

Feel free to let me know what you have been getting up to or to ask for any help with what you are working on – your parents can email me at k.armstrong200@durhamlearning.net.

Mr Armstrong and Mrs Redshaw

Morning

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-6#schedule

Visit the Oak National Academy online for your daily morning learning. As this is our first week you will need to start from Week 1 (20^th April). It will also give you more opportunity to learn as you can even move on to Week 2 if you would like!

Each lesson is taught by a teacher and is recorded as a video. You can pause the videos at any time so that you can complete one activity before moving on to the other one. I really enjoyed the art activity (Friday’s lesson) – I know you all will too.

Week 1.

Maths. The maths lessons are all about fractions. I know you guys are getting really good at this but this will give you another opportunity to practise your skills.

English. One of my favourite English topics is the focus for this week: newspapers. Start the week by reading newspapers before developing the skills to write a newspaper article.

History. There are 2 lessons this week all about World War One (or The Great War). This is something I’ve never really looked at before so it’ll be really good to hear your thoughts.

Spanish. A lesson to recap the numbers and also start learning about the alphabet.

Science. This is one topic I really love. You will start learning about Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

Art. In this lesson you will create a frottage patchwork from rubbings of textured objects which you find around your home. You will need a pencil and paper.

Afternoon

Use your afternoon session to either work on your ‘My Time at Greenland’ project, do some more lessons on BBC Bitesize or complete some of the activities that you are more familiar with like TT Rockstars or Reading Plus. Also feel free to use this time to relax with a book or enjoy your daily exercise with your family.

Summer Term – Week 4 (Monday 11th May)

Hi Class 8!

I hope you and your family had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. We had a fantastic stay-at-home street party to celebrate the 75^th anniversary of VE Day. It got me thinking about how much you all enjoyed learning about World War 2. It was great fun reading ‘Friend or Foe’ with you and finding out about how life was for an evacuee. I was also very proud to see how mature you all were when we researched the Holocaust and discussed how important it is to be tolerant of others.

It was a lot colder on Sunday but I still made sure I got out for my daily exercise. I really miss playing golf and going to the gym but I realise how important it is to keep myself and my family safe. I know that lots of you will be staying in touch online and I’m sure you will all be doing so in a responsible way.

I have May 11^th circled in my diary… it would’ve been your SATs week, which I know you will still have mixed emotions about. Like we always said, we will let your secondary school teachers know just how amazing you are. North Durham Academy have information on their website and Facebook page. I know Mr Lee and Mrs O’Keeffe really well and they can’t wait to meet you. I also know that the Tanfield School Facebook page has information for you to look at including a link to a transition hub and a meet the staff video.

Feel free to let me know what you have been getting up to or to ask for any help with what you are working on – your parents can email me at k.armstrong200@durhamlearning.net.

There is no need to print worksheet, just record your answers on a piece of paper or your tablet and show your mam, dad or whoever is helping you.

The Year 6 work is all about fractions. I remember you all enjoyed doing work on this with Mr Leitch. It will be a good chance to revisit this learning as fractions can sometimes get a bit tricky if you’re a bit rusty!

Remember, if you would like, you can always try the work from a different year group – it’s all important before you go to secondary school.

Afternoon

1.30 pm Food Technology – I just found out that this week is National Vegetarian Week. Why don’t you spend sometime practising your cooking skills? Perhaps make something for tea with your parents or a dessert for after lunch…

2.00pm. This is an opportunity for you to have some downtime. You all have so many amazing qualities and you should use this opportunity to be creative: write and perform a piece of music, practise your football or gymnastics skills in the garden, create a work of art – the list is endless! You might even want to learn a new skill – learning Spanish on Language Angels (login: greenland / password: school) will be a great before starting secondary school.

Summer Term – Week 3 (Monday 4th May – that’s Star Wars Day!!!)

Hi Class 8!

May the 4^th be with you… If you like Star Wars as much as me then you’ll get what I’m on about! I think I might watch the original (older) films from the saga this week – they were my favourites! I always wanted to pilot the Millennium Falcon or battle a squadron of TIE fighters in an X-Wing…okay, time to stop daydreaming!

It’s been a funny week for me as I was back at Greenland for a few days and then back to staying at home. My nephew turned 4 so we sang him happy birthday on an online video call, which was different. He shares a birthday with Captain Tom (now Colonel) and also Mr Banks’ daughter so there were lots of happy birthdays to sing that day.

Feel free to let me know what you have been getting up to or to ask for any help with what you are working on – your parents can email me at k.armstrong200@durhamlearning.net.

I hope the weather improves for you this week – and for me! It’s not as fun painting the garden fence in the rain… Anyway, stay safe!

There is no need to print worksheet, just record your answers on a piece of paper or your tablet and show your mam, dad or whoever is helping you.

I would recommend doing the Year 5 work this week as it’s good to revise decimal numbers. The Year 6 work is all about angles and then problem solving. These are really tricky and I bet they will catch your parents out – give them a go if you’re up for a challenge!

This week I would like you to continue conducting your own independent research and find out as much as you can about Ancient Greece.

Welcome to Class 8 (Year 6)

A very warm welcome to our Year 6 families. I am Mr Armstrong, your child’s class teacher. Along with Mrs Redshaw we will prepare your children for moving towards SATs or heading to secondary school. This is obviously both an exciting and challenging time in the children’s lives, but we aim to provide full support and encouragement throughout this time of transition.

If you have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch with school. We believe that the children will have a better chance for success if we work with each other to support them.

Homework will be given out on a Monday and will usually consist of Maths homework-(multiplication tables) and English homework, usually reading and spellings. It is important that children read at home. This could be their library book or Accelerated Reader book or by using the Reading Plus program.

We plan to do PE on a Tuesday and Friday this term. However, pupils are asked to have their PE kit in school everyday so we can adapt the timetable depending on the weather.

Our Learning

We will keep the website and our school Twitter account updated with some of the fun things that we have been doing and learning about over the course of the year! Please ask your child’s teacher if you wish to know more.
