WB 1.6.20
Art - Monday
How can we use visual texture to add interest to our artwork?
In this lesson, we are going to look at how Vincent van Gogh used visual texture in his sketchbook, then explore pencils and mark-making to enhance our own work.
Art - Friday. ( or can you continue with your science research : see below)
Optical Illusions and using shading to show form
In this lesson we will look at an Optical Illusion artwork before creating our own. You will learn to shade in to show that an object is three-dimensional.
Science
The private rocket company SpaceX has sent two Nasa astronauts into orbit on Saturday.
It's the first time since the retirement of the shuttles nine years ago that an American crew has made the journey from US territory.
Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken are not only trialling a new capsule system, they are also initiating a new business model for Nasa.
Watch the launch here:

Visit the Nasa website ( see below) and explore. Find something that you want to investigate and research and then produce a poster or model to show your findings.
Be as creative as you want…

Art
This week, I would like you to look at a further skill to add to your talents: perspective drawing. It is one of the skills taken from the content cards and something we would be covering if we were in school.
If you follow the link below to the Bitesized video clips, it shows you how to use objects on the horizon to create perspective in terms of objects in the distance and objects in the foreground.
When you have watched the clip, I would love it if you could produce a piece of work that shows what you have understood. As an additional focus, instead of drawing any piece of art, it would be brilliant if you could show off your perspective art to draw a famous building, linked to the architect, Norman Foster or if this is too challnging, have a go at drawing your house!
Good luck!
Please follow the link below.
A change for English this week
For a change of English task this week, I have added a link to The Oak National Academy website.
Here you will find a schedule of lessons for the week. Each schedule has 3 lessons a day. I am only asking you to do the English lessons, which have a more reading focus. You can do the foundation lesson if you wish but that is not the essential lessons I am setting for you.
There are lessons for each day, so I suggest you spend 20 minutes a day practising spelling, and then do the English lesson.
Art lessons and resources
This week I saw a piece of artwork online that has inspired me to set this as a challenge for you. I have also sent it to the rest of the teachers so everyone in school is having a go, and I think it could make an amazing display!
This link takes you to the picture and a news report about it.
https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/entertainment-arts-52556544
Your task is to create a Banksy style picture, thinking about the shading styles you have worked on the last two weeks. My only stipulations or requirements are that you only use pencil, or black, apart from including a red cross, to celebrate our front line workers. Other than that, it is up to you!
Get your parents to email me your pictures, and have them ready for the Zoom on wednesday!
Happy designing!
DT and RE
Our topic is create, and at this point, we have focused mainly on art so I thought this week we would begin to look at the Design and Technology elements.
I am aware that not everyone will have access to materials to create many projects, so I am choosing to look at the design processes.
Architecture is very heavily linked to designing and uses lots of skills outlined on our school content cards for years 5 and 6.
In RE, I would like you to research different places of worship, ideally in Nottinghamshire. You can compare them, draw them, research them individually, look at architectural features, whatever you find interesting.
In DT, I would like you to research the architect Sir Norman Foster. I am leaving this very open, so whatever you find out is independent and different to others in the class. You can choose to focus on one element of his life, of his work, or on an individual building or range of buildings he designed. It is up to you.
For both RE and DT tasks, how you present your information is up to you. You can make a booklet, a PowerPoint, a poster, a quiz, a double page spread. It really is up to you and how in depth you wish to go. Hopefully you will be immersed and could produce a variety of pieces of work!
The tasks I am setting for RE and DT are aimed to keep you busty for the next 2 weeks and over half term, so please to panic and try to cram it all in this week!
As always, please get your parents to email me your tasks when complete, and I will share them on the website!
Year 6 Maths
Hi everyone. The link below to this week's maths takes you to the White Rose Maths page. It opens up on a fractions sequence, so to get to ratio, you need to click the - symbol and the menu will close to show the weekly dates.
Click on the + symbol for 'Week 1'
This is the sequence for Ratio.
Hope this makes sense. Sorry the link is not as precise as I had hoped.
Any problems, drop me an email.
See you Wednesday!
Regards
Mr Owen-Jones
Grammar and Punctuation: week commencing 04.05.20
This week, remind yourselves what Modal verbs are; it might be a useful bit of revision that could assist in your writing and should even improve your grammar.
Art Resources
This week's art focus should built on the shading techniques you looked at last week.
The link below is to a Youtube video on techniques that allow you to blend and shade using coloured pencils.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeYitWpA6ZU
Have a practise...this skill could come in handy for another task this week...
VE Day
This Friday sees the commemoration of VE Day. Mrs Turner has kindly put together a bank of fab ideas to pick and choose from. There are art and DT ideas, as well as resources to look at.
What would be amazing to link it to our art focus, is to choose one of the art pieces, and see if you can apply your newly practised shading and blending skills.
Please email any art or DT you do for VE day so I can upload them to the sharing page of the home learning section!
