You will need to read Chapter Two of our graphic novel on Charles Darwin again, then answer the questions below. You can find the link to the novel here: Charles Darwin

Task Two

For the remainder of the Guided Reading lessons this week, you will need to access the online resource that was sent out to you for MyON. Access it here: https://readon.myon.co.uk/

In the search bar, type in “Charles Darwin and the Theory of Evolution”. You will need the graphic novel written by Heather Adamson. We will focus on Chapter Two this week. Read Chapter Two and answer these questions in your exercise book. You can use a dictionary to help you.

Task One

For today’s task, we are going to look at a poem called Grannie. You can access the poem and the comprehension questions here: https://OESOMUK.exampro.net

Once you have opened the link, you will see two tabs. One is titled ‘questions’ and one is titled ‘ resource’. The poem is accessible in the resource tab and you can move between the two tabs whenever you like.

Task Three

Warm Up

For your warm up today, please complete the following times tables challenge. Useful tip: It helps your speed if you press the Enter or Return key on the keyboard instead of clicking submit! You have 100 seconds to get as many right as you can! Post your score on the Padlet for a little competition. Good luck!

100 Second Challenge

Main Task

As promised, I have created a Kahoot Quiz for you, which reviews all of the learning that we have done so far on angles. Please put your first name (rather than a nickname) so I can see how you did!

You can access the Kahoot quiz here: Angles – Review

Task Two

Warm Up Main Task

Since last Monday, you have spent a lot of time looking at the interior angles (angles inside) of shapes and the various rules that go with them. You will have encountered some of the next questions before, but I would like you to use the knowledge you have gained to figure out the value of the missing angles in these reasoning style questions. I have also included a few explain style questions. Remember to use what you have learned about interior angles to help you.

You DO NOT need to use a protractor for these questions. Questions can be found here: Mixed Interior Angles Questions

This knowledge organiser might help you to remember the various rules you have learned: Properties of Shape – Knowledge Organiser

You might also wish to use the links to go back over the Home Learning presentations that we have previously used on the White Rose Maths website.

Task One

Warm Up

Main Task Please follow the link to a PPT on vertically opposite angles (Summer Term, Week 2, Lesson One and Lesson Two). You will want to have your speakers on to hear the explanations. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/ Have a go at these questions ….

Task Three will include a Kahoot covering all of the interior angles rules that we have encountered.

Task Three

SPAG Task

Today’s Spelling Quiz can be found on Purple Mash.

Main Task

Today, we will begin writing up our persuasive letters from the perspective of Charles Darwin. I would like you to complete the first half of the letter. Please look at the modelled example below to help you. It would be a good idea to have a look at the different grammar and linguistic features that I have used and to think about how I try to persuade the reader. I have also included some features which you should try to include. These are in the success criteria shown below.

You only need to write the first half of your persuasive letter today. Save the second half for next week.

Model Persuasive Letter – Part One

Task Two

SPAG Task – Today’s Spelling Quiz can be found on Purple Mash. I am not setting you a specific grammar task as you covered two areas of SPAG in Task One’s Main Task activities.

Main Task – For your main task today, I would like you to look back at the Box Up of the persuasive letters you looked at last week. You will need to use these to help you to plan your own persuasive letter, writing as Charles Darwin to his father. You have a few options as to what you may be wishing to persuade your father of in your letters.

1. You could be writing to persuade your father to forgive you for not following the career path that he had chosen for you.
2. You could be writing to persuade your father to support you more, in the way that your Uncle did.
3. You could be writing to persuade your father to join you on your next voyage, using your experience on board the HMS Beagle and discoveries made to help to persuade him.

Whichever option you choose from the above, you will need to have a re-read of the Charles Darwin chapters we have read so far. You need not go any further than Chapters One and Two. You might also wish to look at your guided reading answers so far to help you.

I have created my own boxed-up plan using the first idea for persuasion. You might like to use it to help you create your own. The modelled plan example and blank box-up plan frame are attached below. Remember, you do not need to print them if you don’t want to. You can just draw a line down the middle of your page to separate off the sections and contents and fill in the rows as you go along. Try to plan from Darwin’s perspective as this will help you with your final write-up.

Finally, do not worry about adding an elaborate senders address to your plan! The options above mean that Darwin would either be on the HMS Beagle or the Galapagos Islands at the time of writing. Just choose whichever of these two works best for your scenario and leave it as basic as that.

Tip: If you want to push the level of your writing further, you should consider that you are writing from the past. You might wish to make some old-fashioned language choices.

Task One

SPAG Task – You will need to log in to Purple Mash to complete today’s spelling practice quiz.

Main Task – In preparation for the rest of this week’s writing tasks on persuasive letter writing, you will need to have a go at completing the grammar tasks on subjunctive form and modal verbs. This should just be a review as we have looked at these together before. I will publish answers on Wednesday. If you would like a little reminder of how to use the subjunctive form, Grammarsaurus created a revision video looking at the use of subjunctive form in SATs style questions that should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E79CwacH0rg
