Our Sentence Stack

Ashley was speechless, enchanted and stunned. Hazel, who had charming traits, gazed at him and simpered. Summer singed like a blazing fire; their love for each other blossomed with high hopes for the future. Weeks sped by, months sped by, years sped by. Separated but united.

*Tanzima *Bahadur *Sara

As the sun began to set, Hazel gazed at a young couple on the bench holding hands. How she longed to be united, to be close, to be within Ashley's reach. She was sure she heard her heart collapse. As the twigs snapped and the wind howled, she wondered: would they ever be together?

*Safaa  *Abeer *Hamza

Autumn brought soothing sunsets, speedy squirrels and misty mornings. As they chuckled, leaves fell from trees. As they played, birds flew by. As they smiled, clouds drifted away. Winter brought blankets of snow, icy branches and frozen raindrops. As they threw snow from their branches, the night began. The park was lit up with fairy lights. Spring brought delicate daffodils, melting streams and a scent of flowers. As they laughed and blew dandelion heads, fluttering birds chirped. Branches still grasping, they remained incarcerated, prisoners of the soil.

Year 6 Sentence Stack for Walter Tull Biography

Walter Tull

Orphaned offspring, skillful striker, fearless fighter

During the course of World War One, Britain's first ever black combat officer passed away dreadfully when attempting to protect his fellow soldiers. This commendable leader fought to battle racist behaviour prevalent at the time when being a professional footballer and while being a soldier.

*Sara *Tameem *Tanzima

Finding pride in playing

Son of a Bajan carpenter and English mother, Walter Tull was born in Folkestone, Kent, on April 28th 1888. Horrendously, when Walter was nine years of age he had tragically lost both of his parents. His mother, Alice Elizabeth Palmer, had perished due to cancer; his father remained alive for two years after her death. One of six, Walter and his brother were sent to a Methodist orphanage in East London. Two years later, his brother was adopted leaving Walter miserable. He joined the orphanage football team and this helped him attack his misery.

*Ahby  *Tameem  *Tanzima

Man of the Match

During his training to be a printer while at the orphanage, he was given a trial at Clapton FC. In the 1908-1909 season,  he helped them to win many trophies: The Amateur Cup, The London Senior Cup and the London County Amateur Cup. His career soon took off as he joined the Super Squad Tottenham Hotspur in 1909. One newspaper reported that he was 'in a class superior to that shown by most of his colleagues.' He had become only the second black professional footballer in England's top division.

*Bahadur *Muttaqi *Sara

Defeating Racism

Unfortunately, racism was an extremely common thing at that time and Tull had become very used to verbal assaults. In a match against Bristol City in 1909, Tull had suffered a blast of abuse from the opposing fans and as a result, Spurs dropped him from the first team. In 1911, Walter was sold to Northampton Town, a team in a lower league. Their manager Herbert Chapman appreciated Walter's skills as a footballer and his colour didn't matter to him. Walter shone like the brightest star in the blackest night sky, standing out at Northampton becoming their most significant and most brilliant diamond.

*Suhana *Safaa *Sara

Facing a new opposition

When WW1 broke out in 1914, Walter was due to sign for Glasgow Rangers. Unexpectedly, he played his final match in the autumn of 1915 and volunteered in the Football Battalion; he saw being a soldier as a duty for his country. Noble, courageous, resilient Walter, survived the Battle of the Somme in 1916 where appallingly 420,000 British troops were killed but tragically had to cope with trench foot and shell shock and was sent home to regain strength.

*Safaa *Saeed *Muttaqi

Premier in the platoon

As he finished his isolation, Walter was notified that he was to attend officer training in Scotland instead. Although there was a blanket ban on black officers,  he had been suggested due to his behaviour on the battlefield. There he intrepidly led a division and was complimented by his commanding officer Sir Sydney Lawford in March 1916 for his 'gallantry and coolness' under fire. Aptly, he was recommended for the Military Cross for his remarkable courage but unfortunately he never received it. Walter was refused-refused parents, refused siblings, refused his football career. Refusing him of the medal would be another shot that he had to take.

*Sara *Ahby *Maisha *Tanzima *Suhana *Bahadur

Game Over

Shortly after his valiant squad of soldiers were sent to France, Walter found himself in the Somme Valley. Appallingly, while trying to support his men to evade German troops, he was shot and slain. Intrepid, incredible, inspiring, several of his men tried to recover his body but sadly failed. Walter was only 29 when he died on 25th March 1918.

*Tariq *Tameem *Tanzima *Muttaqi

Tenacious Tull

Walter had many siblings; his brother was adopted so Walter ended up all alone at the orphanage. Walter had been promoted to an officer; he sadly got shot on the battlefield. Life was a battle for Walter from the time he was born to the day he died. 

Q. Who were Walter Tull's siblings?

A. Walter had 3 sisters: Cecilia, Miriam and Elsie and one brother Edward, who was coincidentally, the first black dentist.

Q. What football team did he play better in? Tottenham Hotspur or Northampton Town?

A. Walter only played 10 matches with Tottenham scoring 2 goals, however he played a staggering 110 matches for Northampton Town scoring 9 goals.

Q. Has Walter received any military awards?

A. In Walter Tull's lifetime, he had not received any medals, however posthumously he was awarded the British War and Victory Medal.

Well done everyone!

It has been a weird half term, none of us expected to be teaching from home or sat learning through a laptop/IPAD etc Well done to you all for trying your best in what has been difficult times. 

Next half term we will begin with me taking over from Jane and doing my best to be as good (that'll be hard but I'll try!) We will be writing a Biography about Walter Tull

We will also be launching 'zoom' reading groups after half term for you all so look out for information on the Year 6 page at the start of term (ours will be 9.50am-10.20am - you will attend once a week and will find out which day soon).

In the meantime, take a well-earned break. Watch TV, play video games, chat with friends and enjoy being with family...you need a rest.

See you in the new term, even if it is remotely.

Mrs Davies

I am so proud of you guys!!!!!

You have all worked so incredibly hard during this closure and fully deserve your moment of fame today on Jane's Live Lesson. 

Not only a mention from Jane but also a shout out from Grandma F too!

Big cheer for Ameera 6P!  Go girl!

Fantastic work guys xx

Sadly, it's our final day with Jane today. I know you have loved the lessons she has done for us over the past 6 weeks so it would be lovely if you could perhaps draw a thank you message that I could send to her. Please send a photo of one if you can, I think she has taught you so well she deserves a

BIG THANK YOU!

As always, thank you so much to those who submitted your writing work yesterday. I was really pleased to see some new names sending in work like Abeer and Suhana- welcome to the writing gang!

After half term, I will be doing my best to be the new Jane and teaching you how to write a Biography. We will be writing about Walter Tull.

Can you find out about him over the half term holiday? 

I'd love you to send in your work each day as you do now and I too will showcase the work and pick out some 'special mentions' for our own Year 6 Sentence Stack!

To those who haven't sent in work yet, it's not too late. Join our growing group of writers and send in yours tomorrow. I can then give you feedback on how you are doing and help you to become even better.

 To submit work each day send to the Y6 email account: y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

Please could I ask that when you send in work you

send a photo wherever possible if you wish for your work to be shown on this webpage. This is because it is easier to see your work on the webpage when it is sent as a photo.

Work sent in after 5pm may not get feedback until the next day and won't be included in any sent to Jane.

It's also a good idea to look at the work sent in by your classmates, it will inspire you and you will be able to better review and reflect on your own work. 

Thanks

Thank you so much to those who submitted your writing work today (Wednesday). We are now receiving much more work daily which is fantastic and we have been recording those who have sent in work since we were forced to close in January.

To those who haven't sent in work yet, it's not too late. Join our growing group of writers and send in yours tomorrow. I can then give you feedback on how you are doing and help you to become even better.

I have added all of the work below that I have been sent a photo/document and I have also added some inspiring work once again from Jaymee.

Jaymee is a child from another Primary School. I am in regular contact with her class teacher, who like me, regularly sends off work to Jane. Jaymee is her gifted and talented writer who I think we can all be inspired by. Take a look at the work she has produced in the last couple of days- it really is of an exceptional standard. I know we have writers in our school who, with a little push, could rival Jaymee.

 To submit work each day send to the Y6 email account: y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

Thank you again to those who submitted work to me on Friday. Nice to have Tariq added to the list of writers. 

Please could I ask that if you are sending work in-add your name and class, it makes it easier for Jane to know who you are if she chooses your work to showcase.

 You can email in a photo of it, send it in as a word document or simply type it into the email itself. I really don't mind.

I give verbal feedback to all those sending in work which recognises the fabulously clever things you are doing in your writing and identifies some tweaks that would further improve it.

Please send in your writing to the Y6 email address.

 Remember if you want me to be able to send your writing to Jane make sure you get it to me before 5 pm.

All writing that you send to me on the y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk email I will give you feedback on to help you improve and to recognize what went well.

Thank you again to those who submitted work to me yesterday. I have to say these were my favourite to read with your fantastic selections of portmanteau (words blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel or brunch).

Remember when writing you should always take time to read back your work SLOWLY.

Have you missed out any words?

Have you checked your punctuation?

Have you correctly sized and positioned your letters?

Have you used a joined handwriting style?

Does it make sense to the reader?

Please could I ask that if you are sending work in-add your name and class, it makes it easier for Jane to know who you are if she chooses your work to showcase.

 You can email in a photo of it, send it in as a word document or simply type it into the email itself. I really don't mind.

Lesson 2 The Lost Thing

Live at 9.45 or watch it later.

Thank you so much to those who sent me work yesterday.  I had a total of 15 pieces once again and some new names- thank you Muttaqi- welcome to the writing gang :)

I have also started receiving work from Yr 5's which I am sending on to Jane too.

Remember when writing you should always take time to read back your work SLOWLY.

Have you missed out any words?

Have you checked your punctuation?

Have you correctly sized and positioned your letters?

Have you used a joined handwriting style?

Does it make sense to the reader?

Please could I ask that if you are sending work in-add your name and class, it makes it easier for Jane to know who you are if she chooses your work to showcase.

 You can email in a photo of it, send it in as a word document or simply type it into the email itself. I really don't mind.

I give verbal feedback to all those sending in work which recognises the fabulously clever things you are doing in your writing and identifies some tweaks that would further improve it.

Please send in your writing to the Y6 email address.

 Remember if you want me to be able to send your writing to Jane make sure you get it to me before 5 pm.

All writing that you send to me on the y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk email I will give you feedback on to help you improve and to recognize what went well. 

It's also a good idea to look at the work sent in by your classmates, it will inspire you and you will be able to better review and reflect on your own work. 

Thanks

Thank you so much to those who sent me work yesterday.  However, we only had 9 pieces in which is less than our normal amount. I'd really like to see work from you all, so if you haven't sent in work before, this new writing unit would be a good time to start.

Today is the first lesson for The Lost Thing which is a narrative unit. You will be building on the skills that you have developed in Feast and Black Rock.

Please could I ask that if you are sending work in-add your name and class, it makes it easier for Jane to know who you are if she chooses your work to showcase.

Good Morning Year 6

Thank you to those who sent in their second 'Secret of Black Rock' work and their Seneca scores. I have forwarded the work to Jane so look out for her lesson today in case it is shown!

As you know, we will be joining Jane again at 9.45am for Lesson 3 of Secret of Black Rock.

I have posted the link to Jane's Youtube channel- Lesson 3 

should appear about 10 mins before the start time.

Don't worry if you can't do the lesson at this time, as with all the tasks we set, they can be done at any time. If you didn't get a chance to do any of these writing lessons yet, you could still watch them as the lessons will not be deleted from the Youtube channel.

I am also adding the Seneca challenges for today as links below.

Again there will be a revision unit and an assessment unit to complete- these help build writing skills and knowledge.

Finally, don't forget to access Spelling Shed to access the assignments set for you there and see how you are doing compared to your class, year and school! 

Writing activities should take at least an hour. 

Please send in any photos of your work and questions to:

y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

We will be regularly checking this email throughout the day and getting back to you.

Thanks, Mrs Davies

Morning Year 6

Today we are starting the Live Lessons with Jane Considine at 9.45am.

We will be working on the text: The Secret of Black Rock.

Don't worry if you miss this time as you can watch the link at any time.

If you are watching live, I will be watching too and will have the y6 email open at the same time. I'd love to have a message from those logged online and will be able to answer any questions you have, so email me at:

y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

You will need paper and a pen or pencil. A ruler will be useful too to help you divide up your book/paper as Jane needs you to do.

After the lesson, please send photos of your work as, yet again, Jane wants to select some each day to showcase the next day- I'd love it if some were from you guys!

Click the link posted below this message.

Also please complete the Seneca challenges- one is a revision unit and the other is an assessment unit.

You should be completing at least an hour of writing activities today.

Send over your scores again and I can include you on this page.

I will also be recording more chapters for Rooftoppers- so listen in! I have chapters recorded from the start of the book so even if you haven't been in 6DRS you can still listening to this fabulous story.

See you later everybody!

Friday 8th January

Good morning Year 6

Thank you to those who sent their work in yesterday. Once again, Sara in 6DRS has sent in a great piece of work- well done Sara! I've also had some super work from Tameem in 6P and Sadat in 6S. Great job guys!

I would like to see more of you doing this please. The email to send your seneca score and written work to is:

y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

Today we will once again be working on the Wooden Watcher. This is our final day working on this.

 Next week we will once again be joining Jane in her Live Lessons on Youtube at 9.45am. 

She will be doing Live Lessons for the next 6 weeks at 9.45am and will cover 3 fantastic texts.

The first one is 'The Secret of Black Rock'. I can't wait!

On Seneca today, we have 3 challenges to complete.

The first two are revision units on Sounds in Words followed by an Assessment challenge.

Allow about 20 mins for the Seneca challenges.

Remember, you are aiming to take about an hour altogether to complete the 3 'Writing' activities:

Wooden Watcher, Seneca Challenge and Spelling Shed.

There are 3 new Spelling Shed assignments for you all, make sure you work on these this week please.

Thanks everyone!

Good morning Year 6

This morning we will continue to write high-quality sentences that match a selection of lenses from the Writing Rainbow.

Thank you to Sara and Tameem in Year 6 for sending their work in yesterday, I am still waiting to receive the work from other children for the Wooden Watcher writing task yesterday.

I have posted Sara's as it is a good example of the standard you should be aiming for.

Those that sent me the Seneca task screenshots yesterday did very well. For those yet to send me that, please do so today alongside today's challenges.

The Wooden Watcher task should take about 30 mins to allow for: a collection of vocabulary choices (as you would in school), constructing sentences to match lenses, forming a paragraph, reviewing the paragraph, editing and improving.

When finding great vocabulary a thesaurus is very useful for more interesting and powerful selections. You can use a thesaurus you may have at home or there are online versions. If you just type into google 'find a synonym for sad', for example, it will bring up lots of options.

Don't rush writing tasks. Writing is an art and you should make sure you are really happy with your final version before submitting it to me.

You should complete today's Writing tasks with some time on Spelling Shed (about 10 mins). I have created a Spelling Shed Page so check in regularly to see if your name appears!

Overall, I'd like you to have spent about an hour doing these writing tasks.

Thanks, everyone

Good Morning Year 6

It is disappointing to be setting work for you once again on here rather than seeing you back in school but we must try and keep everyone safe.

Don't worry though, we will be keeping in touch with you all and will be setting writing tasks every day. As before, please email any work completed to:

y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

You can also email any questions you have and we will be monitoring the email throughout the day and will get back to you quickly.

You should make sure that you complete the daily writing task along with the Seneca Task. Please also make it a habit to log into Spelling Shed and Oxford Reading Buddy every day.

Thanks everyone!

Good luck!

I'd like you to begin with the link below for today on Modal Verbs (Unit 2.6). I'd like you to progress through the unit           (2.6.1-2.6.7) and complete the End of Topic test. Please let me know via email how you get on.

See you at 10.30- remember I will say hi to anyone in the chat at the start of the lesson, but not after it has begun as we need you to be fully concentrating then!

Thanks

Hello Year 6

Well done for those who signed into Jane's lesson yesterday while it was live.

It was really nice to see

Subhan, Alisha, Hasanain, Laveza, Yaaseen, Hamza and Sara. You can all have a star for signing in!

Today we are doing an Experience Day so please look at the Powerpoint below and the 'Not Now Bernard' link. There are some video clips in the powerpoint to watch and the day is all about gathering vocabulary.

We will return to a live Jane lesson on Wednesday at 10.30am.

I will be watching live with you and I am happy to say hello to you  BEFORE the lesson, but please don't keep chatting throughout the lesson as you are meant to be concentrating on the lesson!!

Please send me the sentence work from today to the year group email as I would love to see it.

Thanks everyone, Mrs Davies

Monday 30th November

Good morning everyone!

We have 2 lessons for Writing today. You need to do the Experience Day Lesson first as this is to gather the vocabulary that you need before you start the sentence stacking lessons. Please click on the Powerpoint doc below to complete this Experience Day.

Then we will be joining Jane as she delivers a lesson on Youtube. This lesson begins live on Youtube at 10.30 am, but you do not need to worry about getting the Experience Lesson done before then, as you will be able to access the Youtube videos throughout our isolation at home. 

Please, please, please, send me in your work via the Y6 email address as I would love to see them and will be sharing great work via this web page and I will send to Jane any that really blows my socks off!!

Hello Year 6

Jane Considine The Nation's Story

We have now completed the Live Lessons with Jane. 

Schools took part from across the World and over 100,000 students watched!

Children's work was showcased each day and we were lucky enough to have one of our students Hamza in 6DRS chosen. 

His sentence features in this Nation's Story. 

Listen out for the 'familiar shoes' sentence as this is Hamza's!!!
