Good morning Year 6, I hope you had a lovely evening.
We look forward to seeing you on Zoom at 9:05am.
Warm up challenge (15 minutes)
Reading (40 minutes)
Over the next couple of days, we are going to be looking at poetry linked to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Have a look at this example:
I will tell you a hilarious comedy,
The best I ever said.
Four lovers ran into the woods
And everyone ended up wed.
Theseus was the duke of Athens,
He would marry his love with grandeur.
Hermia’s father wanted her to marry
Demetrius, but she loved Lysander.
Theseus gave Hermia four days
To marry Demetrius or die.
Hermia begged her father with tears,
“Why must I marry Demetrius? Why?”
Lysander said to his love, Hermia,
“I have a plan to become your spouse.
To be free from Athenian law,
We’ll run away to my grandma’s house.”
The plan was set in motion,
But Hermia told her friend.
In turn, her friend told Demetrius,
Who wanted it to come to an end.
Demetrius followed Lysander and Hermia,
Trying to win Hermia’s love.
Helena ran after Demetrius,
But Demetrius gave her a shove.
The forest was inhabited by fairies,
And King Oberon ruled them all.
He noticed Helena’s rejected love
And decided to rectify the gall.
Oberon ordered Puck to put love juice
On the young Athenian’s eyes.
Puck mistook Lysander for Demetrius,
And Helena was scandalized.
Puck realized his mistake
And put love juice on Demetrius.
Both men ran after Helena,
But poor Hermia was treated like pus.
They all fell asleep in the forest;
Oberon made Lysander’s eyes okay.
Now everyone loved their true loves
And married the very next day.
This poem summarises the entire play making sure all of the key information is included.
What do you think of the poem?
Do you think it is well written? Why?
You might be surprised to know that this poem was written by an 11-year-old boy.
Today, I would like you to write your own poem based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
You can write about the whole play or you can choose a section of the play.
When you have finished writing it, practising reading aloud because in tomorrow’s live lesson, I will be asking you to read them out. You could even make a performance!
Writing ( 1 hour)
Watch this clip to see the moment when the spell is put on Titania, Lysander and Demetrius.

Today and tomorrow, we are going to be looking at how we write instructions.
Where might you see instructions?
What are instructions used for?
A recipe is an example of a set of instructions.
Watch this video to see an example:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/how-to-write-clear-instructions/zrvtscw
Now look through this PowerPoint to see some of the key features of instruction writing:
au-l-53325-writing-instructions-powerpoint-english_ver_3
Task:
Write a set of instructions to teach people how to use the flower and Puck’s spell to make people fall in love with the first thing that they see.
Things to think about:
- What will they need?
- Are you steps clear and easy to follow?
- Do your steps start with imperative verbs?
- Have you included any hints?
Maths (1 hour)
Starter challenge:
Here are today’s Rapid Reasoning questions:
Main activity
Today we are going to look at how to answer calculations when they include brackets (or should include brackets) e.g.
(5 + 7) – 4 =
For these questions, we need to answer the part in the brackets first.
(5 + 7) – 4 =
12 – 4 = 8
So
(5 + 7) – 4 = 8
It doesn’t matter where the bracket is, the rule still applies:
3 + (9 – 2) =
We still need to complete the bracket first.
3 + (9 – 2) =
3 + 7 = 10
So
3 + (9 – 2) = 10
Here is another example:
3 + (7 x 4) =
3 + 28 = 31
Let’s look at what happens if we ignore the brackets and go from left to right:
3 + 7 x 4 =
3 + 7 = 10 x 4 = 40
We end up with a different answer. That is why it is important to work out the brackets first.
You have a go:
- (5 x 2) + 4 =
- 20 – (3 x 4) =
- (5 x 8) – 7 =
- 26 + (6 x 4) =
- (4 x 7) + 12 =
- (4 + 3) x 4 =
- (7 + 1) x 6 =
- 9 x (8 + 2) =
- (6 – 3) x 3 =
- 5 x (5 + 2) =
- (7 x 6) + 30 =
- 25 + (5 x 5) =
- (40 x 2) – 6 =
- 100 – (30 x 3) =
- (60 x 4) + 42 =
- (50 x 5) – 134 =
- 102 – (4 x 20) =
- (70 x 3) + 21 =
- 10 x (60 x 5) =
- (80 x 4) x 10 =
You might also get questions which involve 2 sets of brackets i.e.
(4 + 5) x (7 – 3) =
Again, you need to complete the calculations inside the brackets before completing the calculation in the middle.
(4 + 5) x (7 – 3) =
9 x (7 – 3) =
9 x 4 = 36
(4 + 5) x (7 – 3) = 36
Now you try these:
- (5 x 2) + (4 x 7) =
- (2 x 9) – (3 x 4) =
- (5 x 8) – (7 x 0) =
- (4 x 9) + (6 x 4)
- (3 x 7) + (5 x 5) =
- (4 + 3) x (6 +2) =
- (7 + 1) x (6 – 2) =
- (9 + 9) x (8 + 2) =
- (6 – 3) x (11 – 4) =
- (12 – 6) x (5 + 2) =
- (7 x 6) + (30 x 4) =
- (20 x 2) + (5 x 5)
- (40 x 2) – (6 x 3) =
- (100 x 5) – (30 x 3) =
- (60 x 4) + (40 x 8) =
- (50 x 5) – (30 x 2) =
- (70 x 6) – (4 x 20) =
- (80 x 3) + (90 x 5) =
- (10 x 1) x (60 x 5) =
- (80 x 4) x (5 x 2) =
Finally, you might get questions where the brackets should be there but are missing e.g.
4 + 5 x 3 =
If this happens, there is a very simple rule to follow.
We always complete the multiplication or divison first.
4 + 5 x 3 =
There is a multiplication, so we need to complete that first.
4 + (5 x 3) =
4 + 15 = 19
4 + (5 x 3) = 19
Here is another
36 ÷ 6 + 12
Here we have a division so that needs to be completed first:
(36÷ 6) + 12 =
6 + 12 = 18
36 ÷ 6 + 12 = 18
Now you try:
a) 8 + 6 x 5 =
b) 7 − 2 × 3 =
c) 10 + 8 × 11 =
d) 7 × 10 + 2 =
e) 12 × 8 − 6 =
f) 8 + 6 × 5 + 3 =
g) 4 + 2 × 5 − 3 =
h) 2 + 3 × 8 + 4 =
i) 6 + 7 × 8 − 4 =
j) 34 − 2 × 3 + 5 =
Captain Sir Tom Moore
Today, I thought we could spend a bit of time thinking about Tom Moore and the great things that he did.
Have a read through the information and watch the videos at the link below to learn more about him.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/55904084
Now complete one or more of the following challenges:
Challenge 1:
Sir Tom Moore raised millions of pounds for the NHS but walking around his garden 100 times for charity. What can you do 100 times?
Challenge 2:
In years to come, school children will learn about the time that the world was locked down because of coronavirus. Can you make something that can be put in a time capsule that you or others can look at in the future.
It could be:
- a poem
- a letter to children in the future
- a piece of art
- something of your own choice.
Challenge 3:
Write about Captain Sir Tom Moore and explain why he is an inspirational person.

Fantastic Gracie! Could you n=mention their legs, ears and tail?
My poem [ I’m doing when they all wake up ]
Laying on the floor fast asleep,
A sudden voice was heard
Each of them stirred
Awaking to the sight of their new love
New relationships, strange feelings
Unnerving but wonderful dreaming ,
Egeus and Theseus having it out ,
but it wouldn’t change anything without a doubt ,
Thinking if my dad would let me marry him
And then Theseus said of course you love him ,
Demetrius and Helena deeply in love ,
It was a miracle from magic and above ,
A fantastic poem Evie! Will you bring this to the live session tomorrow?
yes
Puck: They will need a special flower that will makes anything fall in love with the first thing they see.
step.1 you need to take the flower reach over and touch his or hers eyes.
step.2 you need to do this very gently rub the flower on his or hers eyes then run faster than anything ever before and pretend it wasn’t you.
Some great instructions Dan. Do they need a list of equipment?
list of items
1. magic flower.
2. magnifying glass to make sure its not the wrong person.
3. goggles to not rub your own eyes.
Well done Dan!
To do the spell you will need a flower that was hit by one of cupid’s arrows you need to rub it on the persons eyes and say the magic words call upon your eyes I throw all all the power this charm ma holds when you wake as I bid let love rest on your eyelid and awake when I’m gone as I must now go to Oberon.
Well done Gracie. How could you make the instructions easier to follow?

poem:as puck puts it in there eyes
and the ciizens smile and lie
as they woke up there struck with love
they curl up like a cub
helena confused
but shes refused
helena storms off
lysander follows her
Great Declan!
Lysander and Hermia running away
They were running midday
Helena Demetrius lurking around them
All of a sudden puck shows up with hem
Puck put the flower in the wrong citizens eyes
So they had to pay the price
Arguments flaring out between them
All because of one hem
