Morning Year 6

We are looking forward to seeing you all on Zoom at 9:05!

Warm up activity (15 minutes)

 

Reading (20 minutes)

Have a read through this scene that we looked at yesterday.

Theseus
What say you Hermia? Be advised, fair maid,
To you your father should be as a god,
One that composed your beauties, yea, and one
To whom you are but as a form in wax
By him imprinted and within his power
To leave the figure of disfigure it.
Demetrius is a worthy gentleman.

Hermia
So is Lysander.

Theseus
In himself he is.
But in this kind, wanting your father’s voice,
The other must be held the worthier.

Hermia
I would my father looked but with my eyes.

Theseus
Rather your eyes must with his judgement look.

Hermia
I do entreat your grace to pardon me.
I know not by what power I am made bold,
Nor how it may concern my modesty
In such a presence here to plead my thoughts:

But I beseech your grace that I may know
The worst that may befall me in this case,
If I refuse to wed Demetrius.

Theseus
Either to die the death or to abjure
Forever the society of men.

 

Now answer the following questions about the text:

 

  1. Who is the discussion between?
  2. Who is more important? How do you know?
  3. What does Theseus compare Hermia’s father to?
  4. What impression do you get of Hermia? Why?
  5. What does Hermia ask Theseus?
  6. What is Theseus’ reply?

 

Writing (1 hour)

In today’s writing lesson we are going to think about Hermia and what she has been through so far.

What have we learnt about her?

Is she being treated fairly?

What do you think should happen to Hermia?

Have a read through the information below to remind yourself of some key information about Hermia.

NPAT RSC Character Information – Hermia

https://www.rsc.org.uk/shakespeare-learning-zone/a-midsummer-nights-dream/character/relationships

Write a list of everything that has happened to Hermia so far including:

  • her dad telling her she has to marry who he says or she will die
  • the Duke supporting Egeus
  • Demetrius and Lysander both wanting to marry her

Today, I want you to image that you are Hermia and write a diary entry about what has been happening. Remember to include lots of detail especially when it comes to how she is feeling.

Things to include:

  • Paragraphs (at least 4)
  • 1st person
  • Past tense (future at the end)
  • Lots of emotions
  • At least 7 different types of punctuation

Good luck and I look forward to reading them!

 

Maths (1 hour and 15 minutes)

Starter activity

Here are today’s 5 in 5 questions

1) 700 + __________ = 2000

2) 5 + 6 + 3 =

3) 1.30 x 6 =

4) 9321 x 6 =

5) 3433 divided by 11.

 

Remember to give yourself 5 minutes to answer the questions and then send your answers to me.

Main activity

Today we are going to be finding the area of compound shapes.

Compound – simple shapes joined together. e.g.

At 11am, I will be going live on zoom to show you how to find the area of compound shapes. It will only be for about 20 minutes and it is really important that you come on as this is quite a complicated skill.

https://zoom.us/j/97784397048?pwd=ZlZ1cHR3a093RU1NVFQ4eUxPemgxQT09

Meeting ID: 977 8439 7048

Passcode: cK2m5f

If you are finding it difficult to come on to the meeting, e-mail us and we will help you.

Now try these questions:

For the first set, the shapes have been split for you and all of the measurements that you need are there.

Area 1

On the next set, you will need to split the compound shape into at least 2 shapes. You might also need to find the missing measurements.

Area 2

Challenge 1:

For the first challenge, you will need to split the shapes 3 or more shapes before you are able to find the area.

Area challenge 1

      English reading
      1.Theseus and Hermia
      2.i think Theseus is because he’s the Duke of Athens
      3.A god
      4.i get that hermia is a very independentandithink she would choose love over duty.
      5. Because Theseus is the Duke also a friend of Egeus but because he is the Duke he knows what is the right decision
      6.Theaeus reply is to choose duty over love and trying to set her straight but it isn’t working

    If I woke up some where that was not m room I would probably wake up in my cousins house because I would be having a sleepover. what I would do first is I would talk to my cousins and then my auntie would tell us that our breakfast is ready . So then we would quickly brush our teeth and get changed.

        I’m startled by something rustling,
        But where am I,
        I know I’m not in my bedroom,
        But where am I,
        Why is there plants around me,
        But where am I,
        Why is it all wet,
        But where am I,
        I hear a growl,
        Wait what was that,
        I need to get out,
        BUT WHERE AM I!

      dear diary
      today has been a disaster ,
      in the morning i went to see
      Theseus I was very surprised
      as he was not happy to see me
      and then as I walked to speek
      to him and he whispered “so have
      you made you choice yet to
      marry or to never.” “I shouted
      I will marry how I choose!”

      After that I changed the subject
      as I felt rude for shouting and I
      asked what do you mean by that
      i’m not gonna marry that man I
      don’t fell the same way as he fells
      for me

      Well your father wont fell the same way
      and you now it he wants you to marry
      demetrius now mater what and if you
      don’t you will never be alowed to marry
      or you will have to die I cant beleve you
      now my dad would do that to me

      eany way so I just said well he will
      have to delal with it as I will run
      away with lysander and never
      come back so I can live a happy life

    Theseus and Hermia
    Theseus I know this because Theseus is telling Hermia what to do
    He compared Hermia’s father to God
    The impression I get of Hermia is that she is stubborn because they are telling her she either die or be a nun and I don’t think she will choose any of those options
    Hermia asked Theseus what should she do her dad wants her to marry Demetrius but she doesn’t want to
    Theseus says she must do what her father says because the law that she would either die or not marry at all if she does not marry Demetrius

    Dear dairy,
    I woke up on another beautiful day to find out that my dad wants me to marry the person that my best friend love I know it ‘s crazy right. I t’s not only that he knows about me and Lysander.

    Then I went to Theseus and he said that I should listen to my father( he even called him a god .)I’m so frustrated about every thing in life.

    Also I found out that Demetriouse actually loves me.

    A jungle because someone hates

    It has vines that could stick to a person
    and them trapped and leave them to die
    and old trees looking like it will collapse on me

    I wake up in the cretaceous period which is 145.5 million years ago the first thing I see is a river a herbivorous dinosaur called parasaurolophus’ drinking out of his large mouth. Wait! I see a large fin, moving towards the peaceful herbivore it starts coming up from the water with its large jaws SNAP the herbivore no longer drinks at that moment I knew exactly what dinosaur it was it was the Spinosaurus.

    Dear diary,

    Today was even more of arguing with my father to convince him that Lysander is responsible and capable to marry me. I AM NOT MARRYING STUCK-UP DEMETRIUS.EWWW.I just want my father to think I am responsible enough to make my own decisions.

    Reasons I am not marrying Demetrius🙄;

    .He only thinks about himself:
    .My bestfriend is in love with him:
    . He doesn’t treat women right:
    .He acts so entitled.

    I just want my dad to trust Lysander I know he is not rich and entitled like Demetrius thats why I love him I wish my dad could understand, marriage is about love not money I wish all my problems would just disappear

    3. He compares himself to a god.
    4. She would do anything for someone to agree with her.Minus dying.
    5. She tells him which one she should choose.

    3. In one of the part Theseus called Hermia dad a god so I think he sees Hermia dad like a king
    4. She will do anything for someone to agree with her.
    5. she askes him which one she should choose.
    6. Theseus said ” Either to die the death or to abjure Forever the society of men.”

    The conversation is between Hermia and the Duke.

    Hermia is more important because her life is at risk if she chooses Lysander.

    he compares her father to a God.

    I think Hermia is out there because she wants to marry Lysander not Demetrius.

    She asks the duke if she can marry Lysander.
    He says you will be put to death or you will always be single and become a nun.

    700 + 2000 = 2700

    5 + 6 + 3 = 14
    1.30 x 6 = 7.8
    9321 x 6 55.926
    3433 / 11 = 312

      Great work Hassan. Just check 5 as it has a remainder as a fraction.
