Good morning Year 6 – can you believe that another week is done!
We look forward to seeing you on Zoom at 9:05am.
Warm up activity (15 minutes)
Reading (30 minutes)
Below is an argument that takes place between Oberon and Titania (Fairy King and Queen)
- Happy when everyone gets on
- Funny where they all plays tricks on each other
- Scary were they don’t get on and lots of problems happen
- A mixture where it starts bad but they learn to work together.
The choice is yours!
We look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Maths (1 hour 15 minutes)
Starter challenge
Here is today’s Rapid Reasoning questions:
- The mean
- The median
- The mode
- The range
Do you know what any of these mean?
We will go through them one at a time.
The Mean:
This is the average that is used most and if you see a question saying ‘the average is …’ they are usually talking about the mean.
Here is a set of data:
5 4 6 6 3 2 8
To find the mean of a set of data, the first thing we need to do is add all the data up.
5 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 9 = 35
Then we need to divide our answer by how many numbers there are within the data
35 divided by 7 = 5
The mean = 5.
Let’s have a look at another set of data:
12 15 8 14 7 19
First we need to add them all up:
12 + 15 + 8 + 14 + 7 + 19 = 75
Now let’s divide the answer by how many bits of data there is:
75 divided by 6. This can’t be done without leaving a remainder so one way to do this is:
60 divided by 6 = 10
15 divided by 6 = 2.5
10 + 2.5 = 12.5
Now you try to find the mean for these sets of data:
The Median
The median is the middle number and it is a very easy average to find.
Let’s look at our first set of data again:
5 4 6 6 3 2 8
To find the median, our first job is to put the data in order from smallest to largest:
2 3 4 5 6 6 8
Then we cross off or remove numbers from either side until we are left with a middle number:
2 3 4 5 6 6 8
3 4 5 6 6
4 5 6
5
So the median is 5.
Lets have a look at another set of data:
12 15 8 14 7 19
Remember the first thing that we have to do is order the numbers from smallest to largest:
7 8 12 14 15 19
Now, we need to find the middle number by getting rid of the numbers from either end.
8 12 14 15
12 14
Can you see a problem that we have here?
We have 2 middle numbers.
When this happens we need to add our 2 remaining numbers and divide them by 2 in order to find our median.
12 + 14 = 26
26 divided by 2 = 13
The median is 13.
Now you try finding the median:
The Mode
The mode is the most common number – the number that appears in the set of data the most.
If we have a look at this set of data:
5 4 6 6 3 2 8
The number 6 appears the most
The mode is 6
Let’s have a look at this next set of data:
4 1 5 4 5 6
Here you can see that the number 4 and the number 5 both appear twice so that makes them both the mode.
The mode is 4 and 5.
Now you try some:
The Range
The last type of average that we are looking at is the range.
To find the range we have to find the difference between the largest number in the data and the smallest number in the data.
Let’s look at an example:
Here is a set of data:
5 4 6 6 3 2 8
First job is to order the numbers from smallest to largest.
2 3 4 5 6 6 8
The largest number is 8
The smallest number is 2
To find the difference, we subtract
so
8 – 2 = 6
The range is 6
Lets have a look at another example:
15 12 28 21 7
First we order them:
7 12 15 21 28
Largest = 28
Smallest = 7
28 – 7 = 21
The range is 21
Now you have a go:
Independent Reading (30 minutes)
Spend 20 minutes reading a book of your own choice then answer the following questions:
- What is the title of your book?
- Is your book fiction or non-fiction?
- Who is the author?
- What is your book about?
- Would rating would you give your book out of 5?
- Who in the class would you recommend the to and why?
Art (1 hour)
This week we are going to be creating the forest from A Midsummer Night’s Dream through art.
First have a look at these images of forests again:
I would like you to use art to create the forest in whichever way you like. Don’t forget to add lots of detail including the characters.
You could:
- Use tree rubbings, leaves twigs etc to create a piece of 3D art
- Build the forest using cereal boxes etc
- Draw/paint the forest
- Something of your own choice.
Enjoy and we look forward to seeing some pictures of your magical forest!

Another fantastic week Year 6! I will be sending out certificates tonight so make sure we have seen your work!
Have a great weekend!
Miss Kinsella and Mrs Maruzza
Barbed wire and cement and wood barbed wire so the wolves could not get to them
cement to hold the wood strong
and wood because its strong
Great ideas Aamirat. Why do you think the pigs would then feel safe?
Because barbed wire is very powerful so if they try to get to them their skin or fur will rip
Good thought.
They could yous bricks and sement and glass
They could yous bricks and sement to mack the house and a little brick wall at the front as a gate and they could yous the glass to mack windows
Great idea to use those materials and the glass to make the windows. Why would the pigs then feel safe?
Warm up
Glass because it’s water proof bur it’s breakable, rubber because its really hard to break and it’s water proof, plastic because its hard mad waterproof💦
Great ideas Evie!
Oberon and Titania are arguing Oberon tells Puck to find a love flower so she will fall for a beast
Great thought Aamirat but that’s the result of the argument. Watch the clip (it’s in modern day language and the argument is in the first couple of minutes) and summaries the main parts of the argument.
I would pick water proof blankets (joke) pigs in blankets
steal because steal is strong and water proof
some strong plastic because plastic is water proof and wind proof.
Ha ha! Great ideas Dan, well done.
There arguing about love
They are. What does Oberon want?
I would pick water proof blankets (joke) pigs in blankets . (•_•)
steal because steal is strong and water proof
some strong plastic because plastic is water proof and wind proof.
What I think will happen next in the story is that Hermia and Lysander will find out that Demetrious and Helena and thy will get into a big argument then they will have lots of problems on the way then they will start to be friends again when they reach the fairy’s.
Great start! Can you write more detail and tell me bout the problems.
i accidentally duplicaded it
No problem!
Writing
Helen ran after Demetrius as Oberon and punk over heard there argument Oberon sent punk to put a flower on Demetrius eye lid but punk accidentally put the flower on Lysander eye lid and Lysander fell more and more in love with Hermia but they all saw punks wings and they all stared but Lysander tock Hermia arm and they ran as Demetrius and Helen ran towards them as punk flies back to Oberon and Oberon gets so angery he walks away and Mack’s Helen and demetrius full in love and Mack’s Lysander not cursed and helps them run away so they all decided to cep it a big secorate
Nice Gracie! Can you go through and check it for full stops and capitol letters please.
Summary
Titania and Oberon are having an argument. Oberon is angry because Titania won’t give him the boy fairy so he asks Puck to get a magical flower in order to I’m barace her. But the flower has got clouds cupid dust on it which makes the flower magical. If it goes on someone’s eyelides it makes the person fall deeply in love with the first living thing they see.
Great start Evie, well done! Can you summaries the argument between Titania and Oberon a bit more for us please.
They could use some wood wiyers electric writers so if any one else Rob them they get eletriccutid
They could Hassan, good thought.
Writing:
Helena and Demetrius are chasing after Lysander and Hermia but what they didn’t know they where in a haunted forest where a chain of reactions where waiting just for them there were dangeous monsters like the Wendigo,dinos,demons,carnivorus monsters,Xenomorphs and a giant monster with huge tenticles and trendils with 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 teeth.
“Where’d they go?” Asked Helena ”
I have know idea Hermia.”Replid Demetrius.
A huge roar behind them eachoed threw the forest and sprinted at them with 1,000x speed Demetrius fell over while Helena dragged him away and the wendigo hated bad people so it would attack Helena while the monster (called mutated deaths-head hawks moth.) STRIKED THE WENDIGO MAKING IT FALL INTO A TREE MAKING IT GET IMPALED THREW THE STOMACH IT GOT OF AND BATTLED THE MONSTER whilst Helena and Demetrius found Hermia and Lysander chased by demons and dinos the Wendigo quickly wipped the demons out making them bite the dust and the wendigo went back and retreted back to it’s base the Tyranosaurus Res went for the bite to Lysander but missed then the dinosaurs saw the mutated deaths-head hawks moth and fought it to the death 90 dinosaurs got flung off into the distance injured while the rest were still fighting the mutated deaths-head hawks moth then A XENOMORPH JUMPED OUT OF NO WHERE AND POUNCED ON THE MUTATED DEATHS-HEAD HAWK MOTH AND USED IT TOUNG WITH A MOUTH AND BIT IT’S SELF MAKING ITS ACID BLOOD SPRAY ALL OVER THE MUTATED DEATHS-HEAD HAWK MOTH AS IT BURNT THE XENOMORPHS WERE SACRAFISING THEM SELFS JUST TO KILL THE MUTATED DEATHS-HEAD HAWK MOTH THEN THE ALIEN QUEEN CHARGED AND FINISHED OFF THE MUTATED DEATHS HAWK MOTH PUSHING IT OFF THE CLIFF…Everything went back to normal the dinos left the humans alone even the Xenomorphs and they helped the 90 injured dinosaurs and they all recovered and they all live happily ever after or did they?
Zain, that’s fantastic! Great description and I really like the cliffhanger ending!
So becly puck put the flower on lysander but he spose to put it on Demetrius and puck made mstake and an an Demetrius and Helen ran twoods them puck flu away oberon
A great start Hassan – can you add more?
Maths:
Q1. 3000+200+80=3280
Q1. 1000+300+6=1306
Q2. 37 and 89
Q3. He’s right because if you convert 2/5 into a decimal it makes 0.4.
Mean:
1. 9+7+8+8=32 divide it by 4= 8
2. 8+7+8+9= 32 divide it by 4= 8
3. 1+2+7+6= 16 divide it by 4= 4
4. 2+3+9+2= 16 divide it by 4= 4
5. 4+9+4+7= 24 divide it by 4= 6
Median:
1. 4,1,1,6,5 = 1
2. 27,32,53 = 32
3. 34,89,98 = 89
4. 15,17,29 = 17
5. 17,24,56 = 24
Great Zain! All correct. Can you also do the rest of them so we can see how you get on please .
I think the fairies will find out that hermia is running away and they will tell Egeus but they only get hermia on one condition no humans ever enter the forest ever again and disturb are fairy’s. But also they have to let Helena and Demetrius get married and let Hermia and Lysander get married, but there was a problem because Helena told Demetrius Hermia doesn’t trust Helena anymore which means they have lost there friendship and the flower dust that goes in Titanias eyes doesn’t work so Oberon tries it and falls in love with cupid the fairy but did he know because Puck is very funny he did not put them in Titanias eyes he just tricked Oberon to make everyone around laugh happily ever after.😂
A lovely next part Evie – can you check for missing punctuation please?
cant get on the links
If you copy them then paste it onto the address bar on the internet it should work. Try it and let me know.

4.0.25 is less than the whole number one so it follows the hence that 2 is a whole number so it is larger the 0.25.
Great Evie! How do we know 0.25 is smaller than 2/5?
OBERON
hi Titania! wanna go out in the forest
TITANIA
What, no Oberon! a Fairy said there 2 people running this way I should stay because they might want too find someone too talk or attack the forest.
OBERON
why do you care about the forest so much , u know Puk can do that so lets just say Puk could do your Job
TITANIA

Thanks Alex.
Great Alex! What does Oberon want from Titania?
The three little pigs can use iron copper and clay.
Great, why would they use those materials?
328 for the sqares
136 for the 2nd box
Check both of this please Mason. Think about place value holders.

Writing
I think Lysander and Hermia will meet the fairies and the fairies will be at there secret wedding or they will use magic like they will be married but her dad might find out or Demetrius will be following them and report it too her dad .
Good thought Alex. How would it turn out in the end?
As Puck had made that terrible mistake everything started to fall apart Lysander lost interest in Hermia,Helena thinks Lysander is crazy.Puck has messed up so much Allof them despise of each other Oberons side of the plan is not working either Titania had woken up and saw Puck so he had to have dignity and watch as she lustfully followed Puck.
Some lovely ideas Aamirat but can you extend these further?
3280 1306
39 37
He is correct because it is 2/5 and 0.25 and 0.25 is equivalent to 1/4
Great, well done!

Great Hassan! Now do the rest of them up to question 30.
0.25 is smaller than 2_5s
27 is prime so is this 89
How do you know that 0.25 is smaller than 2/5?
27 is in the 3 times table, can you find another prime number?
Miss maths is confusing but I can do the maths starter challenge
