Good morning Year 6 and welcome to your learning for today. Yesterday's work was quite magnificent with lots of you blogging and emailing excellent work.

RE- L.O The events of HOLY WEEK

Firstly, I want you to watch a short video on the events of HOLY WEEK. You will find this in the RE FOLDER on the YEAR 6 CLASS PAGE. 

When you have watched it I would like you to look at the slide show underneath the video. It has 14 pictures on it, each picture shows an event that happened in HOLY WEEK. In your exercise book, or type straight onto the BLOG, write a sentence or two for each slide. What is happening in each picture? These are the same pictures that we use in the Read Around every year, so this should be easy. Now go to the RE FOLDER. Remember Y6 this is EASTER not CHRISTMAS. Picture 1 is not Mary and Joseph on a donkey. 

Words that might help: JERUSALEM, PALMS, JUDAS, CAIAPHAS, GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, PETER, JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, SIMON OF CYRENE, CALVARY.

ENGLISH

2. After a clause

3. For parenthesis         

The ancient tree, tall and proud, towered over the deserted cottage.

Log on to Education City and complete the comma activity called: Let’s Eat Granny.

LO: To recount a story

(His story is on slides 9, 10 and 11 of the Ali Baba and the Forty Bandits story). You must write using the descriptive style of the 1001 Arabian Nights stories. There is a PLAN to help you write your recount using the first person (I) saved in the English folder on the Year 6 website page underneath the date folders.

Here is a recount start you could use:

The Fate of the Poor Tailor

As another long and tiring day drew to a close, the setting sun cast long shadows across my stall in the market. The fate that Allah had dealt me was to scratch a living as a poor tailor. Believe me if you can, I would even sew iron to stone if I was asked, in order to earn a coin or two. Wearily, I began to pack away my…
