Good morning Year 6,
Happy New Year to you all, but it isn't the start that I was expecting!
As you will all be aware by now, Ladbrooke, as well as many other schools, will be closed for the next two weeks. I will miss seeing your faces in class but am hoping to do some live face to face learning when we all get used to Teams. Today, you will be receiving your username and password via email and I would highly recommend you attempting to log in and familarise yourself with this new learning platform. I have already posted some assignments! If you are unable to use Teams, please let me know asap.
If you are unable to get onto Teams, I will be posting your daily tasks on this page for a short time, so please check everyday.
Hopefully, it will not be too long before we are all back in the classroom learning together, but in the meantime I really need to you to demonstrate your excellent learning capabilities and work ethic by getting on (without moaning to your parents!) with the tasks I set. I will also be available on the phone (school number) and email (when I am not teaching the key worker children) so you can always ask, if you are unsure of a particular activity.
I will try to be as organised as possible, so you will probably find the daily/weekly tasks will be uploaded early, this does not mean you have to do them all early, but it will give you an idea of your next activities.
More detail will be given on these activities in the videos I will be uploading or any live learning through Teams.

Monday 13th - Friday 17th July 2020
Hello Year 6. Did you manage to listen to my goodbye message to you on Potters Bar Radio? I hope you enjoyed it. Well, this is your last week at Ladbrooke JMI School. For all of you, this week is going to be very relaxed, as it would be if you were at school, but for those children in school, this week is an opportunity to say goodbye to some of your friends, staff members and share another little surprise. You will continue to sign your shirts ready to take home as well as you reports on either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on what Bubble you are in. Those joining us on Thursday for our leaver's celebration will be given a bag of their books and their report to take home.
Homelearners:
This week, I would like you to write a letter to your class friends, those you haven't seen in a while and after Thursday, may not see agan for some time. Tell them what you have been up to, how you feel about finishing primary school and any advice you might want to say - this is in plave of not being able to sign their shirts.
French - New video and lesson page to complete
TT Rockstars - make the most of this last week. Can you finish primary school further up the table?
Prefects - If you still haven't done this, please produce a, 'How to be a...' passage of writing, telling the new prefects how to successfully fulfil the role of ICT, Curriculum or Playground prefect.
I am looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday, so I can say goodbye to you all in person.

Home Learning
Please find a link to Year Six's home learning booklet
Whilst at home over the next few weeks, please keep busy with some of the suggested activities within the class booklet. Ensure you complete some Maths and English each day. I will be setting a daily task on this page - this might be taken from the booklet or maybe in the form of an activity from one of the suggested websites.
During this time, I think it would be a great idea to write your own diary about all that has happened. This historic world event will be looked back on in years to come and you could create a resource that your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will read in wonder. I know it may seem like a confusing time right now, but this will pass and things will go back to some kind of normal, but to make sure we never forget it, write your thoughts and feelings down to look back on.
_________________________
Please don't feel like you have to do the daily tasks, they are just suggested. It is much more important that you are happy and healthy. Sometimes, you might just want to colour! I know I do! I have found some mindfulness colouring (that need to be printed off) for those times when you want to keep busy, but don't really want to think about it. 1 2 3 4

Book reviews
I hope you have been reading lots during this time. I love reading and am so pleased that I finally have the time to do so and in the garden as well, in between home schooling my boys of course!
Thank you to some of the class who have written reviews and emailed them to me so I can share. Have a read of them and see what books are being recommended.

*Updated Thursday 9th July
I have recorded a little message for all the year 6 Leavers - which is being played on Potters Bar radio on Friday 10th July at 10am. It would be lovely if you could all listen live. The radio station can be found at this link - http://www.pbradio.co.uk/. I have also been informed that you can listen through your Alexa if you have one - Amazon Alexa
You can listen to PBR1 through your Alexa device. Log in to your Amazon account and search for the “Potters Bar Radio” skill. Enable it for free, and then ask Alexa or FireStick to “Play Potters Bar Radio”. You may also use the Alexa app on smartphones and tablets.
I have also found out that Boris Johnson will be addressing all school leavers at the exactly the same time on Friday (I wonder which you will choose to listen to!). His statement could probably be listened to again at a later date. This can be found in either of these two places:
Monday 6th - Friday 10th July
This week, we are starting our projects. These would normally have been set as part of your homework after the SATs, but we have decided to do these as part of our class work. This video introduces the projects. When in class, these projects will take the place of your English and Maths lessons that you may have become used to. You will be expected to complete more at home.
This is also Health and Fitness week, which means, for most of you, your homelearning tasks will consist of health and fitness activities (as well as completing your projects). Miss Webster has put together a plan for you to enjoy at home. Not only will you compete in our Sock Olympics, there are a range of challenges that I would like you to work through.
Please click here to find out more about Health and Fitness week.
For your information:
Transition – Last week, we made a list of questions you have about starting secondary school. Today, we will be answering them with the support of ex year 6 pupils and their experiences. We will have a look at maps of some of the schools you will be attending and possible timetables.
Home STEM tasks – More Science tasks to have a go at.
French – New video to watch and lesson page to complete.
Prefects - if you haven't alread done this, please can you write about your role in a piece of writing entitled: 'How to be a ..... prefect' (ICT, Curriculum or Playground). This document will help the next prefects know how to do the role successfully.
Please make sure you read these instructions carefully, ensuring that you are completing the right activity for your bubble. Remember this is to also work on how you manage your workload, how are you going to complete your given work?
Bubble 1 and 2 Start projects in class
Bubble 3 and 4 Start projects at home. Watch video and decide what you will do your project on. Email any work completed or save on a USB stick that you can bring in on Wednesday. Also complete a Fitness Challenge from Miss Webster’s suggested list.

Monday 29th – Friday 3rd July 2020
Hello Year 6. I hope those of you coming into school are getting used to it now and the shock has worn off! We had some beautiful weather last week so was able to get outside lots and enjoy the fresh air. Long may it continue!
Those children staying at home, please remember to write your memories of Ladbrooke into a short paragraph or a poem. This will then be used in our Leaver’s video that we are hoping to produce. The idea is that you are filmed, at home (landscape orientation please), catching a scrunched up piece of paper from the left, opening it up and reading your memory, then scrunching it up again and throwing it off in the opposite direction (to the right). It will seem like it is being thrown to each person in the class. Please attach and email, either myself or the school, your videos as soon as you can.
This week we will be working on our Year Book Tasks. This is the book that you will receive when you leave Ladbrooke. Please complete each task and email it back asap for it to be included in the book:
Please find year book tasks below. Click on each link to find out more:
Future jobs - Here you will find a list of your peers. What job do you think they will have in the future: teacher, vet, nurse, doctor, hairdresser, dancer, author, painter, police officer…
Words to describe others in the class - Here you will find another list of the names of your peers. This time, I would like you to think very carefully about one (kind) word you would use to describe each person: brave, hardworking, academic, friendly, happy, loud, quiet, shy, funny, serious, clever…
About me – For this activity, I just want you to write about yourself.
For your information:
Art – Fingerprint Art. Last week we looked closely at our fingerprints. This week we are taking our fingerprints and creating some art from them.
Transition – What questions do you have about secondary school? Can we work through an answer? We will be hearing from some ex pupils about their experiences. Email your questions.
Home STEM tasks – Have any of you been working through the starter tasks I have been uploading?
French – Madam Elena has created another lesson for you to watch. Complete the relevant pages in your French book. Friends United pop song. Noughts and Crosses
