Year 5 - The Roman Robbery!

Today in Maths, we worked in partners to crack the Roman Numeral code. We all used our knowledge of Roman Numerals to crack the code that revealed the thief of the ‘golden plates’. Throughout the task, we worked well with our partner, sharing our ideas and we showed resilience when we found the task challenging.

Help me!

A thief has

stolen our

golden

plates.

We found that Felicia was the thief!

Fantastic partner work year 5. Keep up the excellent work!

Year 6 Curriculum Newsletter

Year 6 Learning Challenge

We are delighted to provide you with the Learning Challenge for the first half of the
Autumn Term.

The activities have been split into Basic, Advanced and Deep Learning.
This is designed to ensure that children not only acquire factual knowledge but
also gain a further understanding about how their new skills or knowledge can be
applied to their own lives or be used to further their cognitive and social development.  

The theme of the Learning Challenge for this half of the Autumn Term is
“How Did the Tudors Express Themselves?” It is entirely up to the child
whether they select the poem, significant person, music or painting, or a
combination of all 4. They can also select the activities that they want to
attempt, though we would encourage them to deepen their learning
as much as possible.

Although the Learning challenge is entirely optional, and in addition to the
daily expectation of 15 minutes reading, 15 minutes times tables rehearsals
and 15 minutes spellings practice, we have found that a large proportion of children
have voluntarily taken up the challenge and have gained a great deal from it.
We would therefore be grateful if you could encourage this at home. The children
will receive a special Learning Challenge certificate at the end of the half term on
completion of a project that shows a significant level of effort and challenge
undertaken by the individual child.

	Poem	Painting	Person/God	Music
Basic	Learn it off by heart	Find out 10 facts about the painting/artist	Draw a portrait of the person	Listen to a piece of music
	Find another poem by the poet	Produce a collage of other paintings by the artist	Produce a timeline of their life	Identify the instruments.
Advanced	Create a performance as part of a pair/group	Draw a picture in similar style	Produce a poster to advertise their achievements	Research the life of the composer.
	Write a short biography about the poet	Transform the medium of the painting: use collage instead of painting	Write a letter asking them about their life	Attempt to recreate the piece of music
Deep	Write your own poem inspired by the topic	Use the image as a stimulus for 100WC	Explain how the world would be without this person	A mind map of different emotions you feel at various points in the piece
	Compare and contrast two poems by the poet	Describe what the painting: what it represents, how it makes you feel, what it is based on	Give five reasons for and against why they should be in ‘The Hall of Fame’	Produce a piece of art/collage based on how the music makes you feel.

Significant Person: Oliver Cromwell

Painting: 'Portrait of Henry VIII' by Hans Holbein the Younger

Music: 'Greensleeves'

Poem: 'Green Groweth the Holly' by Henry VIII

Green groweth the holly,

So doth the ivy.

Though winter blasts blow never so high,

Green groweth the holly.

As the holly groweth green

And never changeth hue,

So I am, ever hath been,

Unto my lady true.

As the holly groweth green

With ivy all alone

When flowers cannot be seen

And greenwood leaves be gone,

Now unto my lady

Promise to her I make,

From all other only

To her I me betake.

Adieu, mine own lady,

Adieu, my special

Who hath my heart truly

Be sure, and ever shall.
