Good morning Y6’s!

Thirsty? Need a glass of water before we begin?

Stop! Wait! Did you know you are drinking dinosaur pee? How can that be?

Welcome to today’s lesson about the water cycle!

Click below to find out more:

What is the water cycle?

Using this information, and any more research you would like to do, draw a labelled diagram to show your understanding. Then, complete the Water Cycle activities on PurpleMash.

Challenge:

Please help…I am Robinson Crusoe and I am stuck on a desert island. The sun is beating down on me and I desperately need to drink but there is only sea water. I need to create a way to purify the water so I can drink it! Using your knowledge of the water cycle, what do you think I should I do? Send in your ideas.

Well done to all of you who have submitted their work for previous challenges (I hope you enjoyed the photos!) but…

Calling Haynes’ Heroes!

Not that I’m competitive at all, but where is my (Mrs Haynes’) class? I think some of them are still asleep! If you know their email/text, give them a virtual nudge and get them to send in their work!

#Happy learning! #Cheers!

Calling all Year Sixes!

Today would have been our Carding Mill Valley trip!

Although we can’t visit the area in person, we can take a virtual tour of the River Severn.

As part of your Geography work on ‘Rivers and Water in the Environment,’ please watch the following three documentaries about the course of a river:

The Upper Course: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zsskjxs

The Middle Course: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z3tw2hv

The Lower Course: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00xnk3n

Challenge:

To show your understanding, you may wish to draw a picture/ labelled diagram or even make a 3d model out of leftover recycling/cereal boxes. For the more competitive, you could make/design a game where players have to travel along the various stages of a river or even bake a cake to show the upper, middle and lower course! There is also an online 2do on PurpleMash (River Facts) if you prefer.

Here are some ideas to inspire you…

The course of a river

Be as creative as possible and don’t forget to email in your photos!

We look forward to seeing all your work!
