Good morning, Class 6!

I hope that you are all well. What a year it has been! Despite the fact that our time together in school was cut short, I have really enjoyed hearing from you daily and seeing all of the wonderful work you have produced.  I hope that you are looking forward to one more exciting day of home learning. I would love to hear from you all, so please keep sending me pictures of you working at home and having fun!

This week is COMPUTING WEEK. I hope that you enjoy the activities!

Logic, Decomposition and Preserving: Code Breakers

In this activity, you will become code breakers by solving a series of codes related to the first verse of a poem by Roald Dahl.

1) Look at the Code Breaking activity worksheet. This is the only information that you have so you will have to try to decipher the code as best you can.

Hint: numbers represent letters of the alphabet.

2) Once you crack the jumbled up code, you will need to reorder it. You will have to use your knowledge of rhyme to decipher the first verse of a poem by Roald Dahl.

More ideas to try:

1) Can you challenge yourself to punctuate the poem verse?

2) Can you create your own code using your favourite poem or lyrics of a pop song or maybe a coded message? Can you get a family member to decrypt your message?

E-Safety Board Game

Using the attached template, create your own E-Safety board game.

Safe / Unsafe Cards

As players move around the board, they might land on a 'Safe' or an 'Unsafe' square. At this point, they should pick up the relevant card and read the information on the back, following the instructions given.

When making your game, add appropriate information to the back of each card.

For 'Safe' cards, your might write "You asked an adult before using the Internet. Move forward two spaces" or "You use a safe search engine for children to find information online. Go forward three spaces".

For 'Unsafe' cards, you might write "You were unkind to a friend online. Go back three spaces" or "You gave away some personal information in an online form. Go back four spaces".

You might wish to add extra rules, such as 'If you roll a 6, you get an extra turn' or 'If your counter lands on the same space as another player, go back three spaces'.

Have fun playing your game with your family! Who will reach the centre of the board first?

Remember to send me pictures of you playing your finished games on Showbie or via email.

Maths

Calculating the Mean

Averages

You hear the word average used a lot in everyday life. You may be ‘average height’ or know the ‘average amount of sweets in a packet is 20.’

In Maths, one type of average is called the mean.

To find the mean, you add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers.

Watch the video and look through the examples before completing the activities.

Activity 1

Worksheet 1: Find the mean

Practise working out the mean average on the attached worksheet.

Activity 2

Worksheet 2: Find the mean

Practise working out the mean average on the attached worksheet.

Creative Afternoon

Algorithms, Logic and Debugging: 2D Shape Drawing

In this activity, you will follow an algorithm to draw pictures constructed from 2D shapes. The algorithms (instructions) you follow will include errors (mistakes) and you will use logical reasoning to detect and correct these.

1) Look at the algorithm on the left of the 2D Shape Drawing worksheet. This algorithm is made up of a sequence of instructions to create a picture of a house. On the right is how you would like the house to look. However, you suspect there might be some mistakes in the algorithm. Your task is to use logical reasoning to work through this algorithm to detect and correct any errors – to debug it.

2) To help detect and correct any errors, draw out each step of the algorithm. Read each step of the algorithm and draw it on a separate piece of paper.

3) Read the algorithm from the 2D shape Drawing Worksheet and follow the steps.

4) After drawing each step, check that what you have drawn from the algorithm matches the picture. If it does then move on to the next step; if it does not then debug the algorithm.

More ideas to try:

1) Can you create a simple drawing made from 2D shapes and then write the algorithm for this drawing? Purposefully include three mistakes in your algorithm for a member of your family to debug.

Internet Safety Rules

Amazing Fact

When 400 scientists, engineers, and academics were asked what was the greatest invention ever, there were three popular answers – the wheel, the printing press and the World Wide Web (the Internet). The overall winner was the World Wide Web.

We have to make sure we stay safe and sensible when we are online.

Use the attached sheet to write down five rules for staying safe online.

 Use these rules to create a poster to encourage people to stay safe when using the Internet.

Remember to send me your finished posters via Showbie or email.

Maths

Read and Interpret Pie Charts

A pie chart is used to show how something is divided into parts.

Each slice of the pie represents a category. The bigger the slice, the higher the proportion of the data.

The aim of today's video tutorial is to explain how to read the data in a pie chart. This includes different scenarios where data has been given, and you'll need to work out what proportion of data this represents.

Throughout the video, there are a number of questions for you to answer, so get ready to pause the video at these points to give yourself enough time to answer!

Activity 1

There are three questions to complete on the worksheet, which involve reading and interpreting data on pie charts.

The first two questions allow you to practise the skill of reading data. The third question might be a bit trickier as you'll need to problem solve and explain your answer.

Activity 2

Answer the five questions in the interactive game and practise the skills you have learned to read and interpret pie charts.

Decomposition: Hand Jive Sequencing

In this activity, you will create hand clapping, hand tutting (see videos attached) or hand jive sequences of movements. You will break the sequence of actions down into parts and in so doing will be decomposing.

Basic Tutting moves www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBu3mTyjqho

Simple tutting www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpDFvUz8Eo

Clapping www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXEhm3qVHCc

Hand jive www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5FXpc1nPr0

Clapping patterns explained www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k6J1jdQY_w

1) Watch a sequence of hand movements; this could be a hand jive or tutting moves or clapping sequence (see videos for ideas).

2) Recreate the sequence without watching it again.

3) Can you break the sequence down into parts (decompose it) in order to teach it to someone effectively?

4) Use the attached Sequence Design sheet to record your sequence. It might be helpful to record each part, testing it out and debugging (fixing) it.

More ideas to try:

1) Photograph or record each part of your sequence and create a mini-tutorial.

2) Can you spot any repeated moves and how you could use a ‘repeat command’?

Exploring the properties of circles and the relationship between radius and diameter

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zcfy6g8

In this lesson, you will explore the properties of circles.

The radius of a circle is a very important measurement, and you will learn to reason about the link between the radius and diameter.

You will also think about practical solutions to finding out the length around the outside of the circle and learn the vocabulary to describe this.

This lesson starts with a pattern-building exercise. Can you predict how the shape will change?

Can you use what you know about the radius to solve problems about the diameter of a circle?

Activity 1

This activity gives you problems to solve about the relationship between the diameter and the radius of a circle.

In question 3, how could measuring the diameter help you to find the radius?

Activity 2

These questions will build your confidence in finding the radius and diameter of circles in different contexts. If you don't have a printer, you can still practise drawing the circles in this activity on any spare paper you have at home.

In question 1, remember to spread the dots around the centre to create your circle!

Activity 3

https://static.mymaths.co.uk/xml/player/v2.2.9/build/index.html?contentPath=../../../en/primary/shape/2d_and_3d_shapes/parts_of_a_circle_lesson

This online activity will be very useful if you aren't able to print off the above worksheets - this interactive activity will help you further understand the special properties of circles without needing paper or a compass!

Creative Afternoon

Algorithms and Decomposition: 3D Building Blocks

In this activity, you will create a simple model and then take photos to create instructions (an algorithm) for others to try and recreate your model. By removing one block at a time, you will be decomposing the problem into manageable steps.

1) Use ten random building blocks to create a model. You could use Lego, wooden blocks, books, cardboard boxes or anything else suitable that you find around your house (see the attached example sheet).

2) Once finished, photograph the completed model.

3) Take one brick off your model and re-photograph the model plus the removed brick next to it. Repeat the process until all of the bricks have been removed – each time you should just include the last removed block and clear away the rest.

4) Arrange your pictures in the reverse order that you took them in, so that they start with the photo of two blocks and end up with a completed model. Label the pictures in numerical order.

5) Give your algorithm to someone else to follow to recreate the model.

More ideas to try:

1) Try to write the instructions rather than just use photographs.

2) Can you break down the task of getting ready for school into smaller parts (having breakfast, having a wash, brushing teeth, getting dressed etc.)?

3) Create an algorithm to enable someone to recreate a simple drawing such as a house or smiley face.

Digital Footprint

A digital footprint is a trail of ‘footprints’ that you leave behind you every time you go online. Most of the websites you visit will record your visit by taking a note of your IP (Internet Protocol) address. This is a set of numbers, which is unique to your computer.

Think about the ways you use the Internet:

• Do you visit websites?
• Do you message friends?
• Do you download music or post photographs?

Complete your digital footprint (attached) by adding all the ways you use the Internet, including what websites you visit regularly. Compare your digital footprint with your friends and family.

Nets of 3D Shapes

Follow the link to learn about nets of 3D shapes https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zsffxbk

Watch the video from BBC Bitesize to learn what nets of shapes are.

Nets of 3D shapes are what the shape would look like if it were opened out flat. Some 3D shapes have more than one net.

Nets can be folded and opened along the edges of the 3D shape. Each section of the net represents a different face on the 3D shape.

Spheres don’t have nets because it only has one curved face - it would be very difficult to create a net from that!

Take a look at what some 3D shapes look like as common nets.

Abstraction and Algorithms: Shopping Lists

In this activity, you will learn to identify the ingredients you need to make a cake and create a shopping list. In doing so, you will develop your skills of abstraction and algorithms.

1) Look through cookbooks, websites or magazines to find recipes. Choose between two or three recipes that look fun.

2) Alternatively, use the recipes on the attached worksheet.

Recipe 1: Challenging.

Recipe 2: More Challenging.

Looking at the method section of the recipe only, write a list of ingredients for your shopping list.

More ideas to try:

1) Discuss the quantities of ingredients needed and do an imaginary online shop:

• How much money would you need?
• How much change would you get form £10?

2) Try out your recipe with the help of an adult. Make sure that you weigh and measure the ingredients carefully.

3) Abstract the equipment needed rather than the ingredients and write a list of what you will need.

4) Investigate the science of baking with the help of an adult. Simply try mixing a teaspoon of baking powder into a cup of hot water to make a chemical reaction. When you add hot water to baking powder, the water reacts with the acid of the baking powder to produce carbon dioxide bubbles. As long as the baking powder is fresh, you will definitely produce bubbles!

5) Create your own “famous chef” instructional video on how to bake a cake.

Your task is to create a piece of art inspired by nature – let your imagination run wild! There are two categories to choose from this year:

• Real Life: entries using the more traditional approach of paints, pastels, acrylics, pens or pencil.
• Go Wild: for those of you who want to ‘go wild’ in every sense of the word. To enter this category, experiment with textiles, sculpture, recycled and eco-friendly materials, collages – anything goes!

You can follow the link to the website to see some of last year’s winning entries: https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-kids/rspb-kids-competitions/wild-art/?channel=paidsearch&gclid=CjwKCAjwi_b3BRAGEiwAemPNU0MMSdcGaiBsMQKqmzBUdDtmCxdUtvdCyFmkKL0bNQxlRTCKX6du5BoCgI8QAvD_BwE

Prizes

For each category, the winner of each age group will receive an art gift voucher worth £100. There are also RSPB runner-up prizes for each category and age group too, so plenty of chances to WIN! The winning, runner-up and highly commended artwork will be displayed at The Society of Wildlife Artists Natural Eye exhibition from 28 October to 8 November 2020.

A special Richie Richardson award (and £100 book voucher) will be given for the most accurately drawn animal. The winning and runner-up artwork will also be printed in Wild Times, Wild Explorer or Wingbeat magazine.

Send a picture of your completed artwork to me via Showbie or email and I will enter it for you!

Olympic Torch

In the run up to the London 2012 Olympic Games, 8000 people carried the torch over 70 days, between the 19th May and the 22nd July 2012.

Today, we will recap recognising proportions of a whole and use fractions and percentages to describe these.

Page 1: Complete the missing fractions and percentages on the map.

9^th June 2020 – Glasgow, Scotland

4/10 = 2/5 = 40%

Design a Piece of Sporting Equipment

As you try new sports and physical activities, think about the equipment you use.  How does it help you to play? How does it help you to improve?

Today’s challenge is to design a new piece of sporting equipment so you can think about what small changes help you to achieve your personal best.

Choose a sport that uses some equipment. You may choose one you play already, or you can find out about a new sport.

Think about the equipment: 

How is it used? What size is it? What shape is it? Is the colour important? What materials is it made from? 

Now think of how you could make small changes to improve the equipment.

Make your new piece of equipment and try it out!

Olympic Village Percentages

During the Olympics, all of the athletes live in the Olympic Village. They travel between the Olympic Village and the different venues.

• If they take the bus, they will only pay 10% of the normal price.
• If they take the new High Speed Olympic Shuttle, they will only pay 50% of the normal price.

Challenge 1

Complete the table by finding 10% and 50% of the ticket prices.

To calculate 10% of a number, remember to divide it by 10.

Remember that 50% is the same as 1/2.

Challenge 2

Some of the venues are further away outside London. They will only pay 20% of the ticket price to get a train to these places.

To calculate 20% of a number, remember to work out how much 10% would be and then double it.

Remember to send me your completed work on Showbie or via email.
