Class 5
January 2021
As you are aware, the government has asked parents and carers to keep their children at home, wherever possible, and asked school to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend. The government’s guidance states, ‘We encourage parents to consider the spirit of the lockdown when making their decision … and Key Worker parents and carers should keep their children at home if they can.”
As a result, Walford Nursery & Primary School remains open for all those children who have had their attendance confirmed by Ms George.
The times of the school day have changed to 8.30am – 3.00pm.
All children must use the double gates on to the playground to be dropped off and picked up each day.
For those children attending school, Breakfast Club (7.45am – 8.30am) and After School Activity Club (3.00pm – 5.30pm) are still available but you must book at least 24 hours in advance.
For those children at home, there is a comprehensive Remote Learning plan in place.
We will continue to utilise Showbie to share work and provide feedback. Alongside this, there will be daily live lessons on Zoom and we will deliver the Year 5 curriculum.
Mrs Hanham will send an email each evening with a detailed plan for the day ahead, including timings for live lessons and all activities on offer.
The Government has stated that children in KS2 should be provided with at least 4 hours remote education each day, including live lessons, recorded lessons and time to complete tasks. The timetable below ensures that Walford have met this expectation, however, we are more than aware of the demands of remote learning at home so please continue to do as much or as little as you wish – there is no pressure to complete everything! We would, however, really appreciate all children joining the live lessons where possible, as this provides the daily teaching and the opportunity for the children to stay connected as a class.
The timetable for Remote Learning in Class 5 looks like this (but can change if appropriate):
9.00am - 10.15am: Lesson 1: Zoom
Morning Brainteasers – a bit of fun!
Morning Register
Time to complete independent activities
10.30am - 10.40am: Independent Reading
10.45am - 11.45am: Lesson 2: Zoom
Class Story
Time to complete independent activities
11.50am - 12.10pm: PE / Physical Activity
1.00pm - 1.10pm: Times Table Rock Stars
Spelling Shed
1.15pm - 3.00pm: Lesson 3: Zoom
Afternoon Register
Time to complete independent activities
Please see daily emails and Showbie for further information.

Creative Afternoon:
Logic, Decomposition and Preserving: Code Breakers
In this activity, you will become code breakers by solving a series of codes related to the first verse of a poem by Roald Dahl.
1) Look at the Code Breaking activity worksheet. This is the only information that you have so you will have to try to decipher the code as best you can.
Hint: numbers represent letters of the alphabet.
2) Once you crack the jumbled up code, you will need to reorder it. You will have to use your knowledge of rhyme to decipher the first verse of a poem by Roald Dahl.
More ideas to try:
1) Can you challenge yourself to punctuate the poem verse?
2) Can you create your own code using your favourite poem or lyrics of a pop song or maybe a coded message? Can you get a family member to decrypt your message?
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.

E-Safety Board Game
Using the attached template, create your own E-Safety board game.
Safe / Unsafe Cards
As players move around the board, they might land on a 'Safe' or an 'Unsafe' square. At this point, they should pick up the relevant card and read the information on the back, following the instructions given.
When making your game, add appropriate information to the back of each card.
For 'Safe' cards, your might write "You asked an adult before using the Internet. Move forward two spaces" or "You use a safe search engine for children to find information online. Go forward three spaces".
For 'Unsafe' cards, you might write "You were unkind to a friend online. Go back three spaces" or "You gave away some personal information in an online form. Go back four spaces".
You might wish to add extra rules, such as 'If you roll a 6, you get an extra turn' or 'If your counter lands on the same space as another player, go back three spaces'.
Have fun playing your game with your family! Who will reach the centre of the board first?

Creative Afternoon:
Algorithms, Logic and Debugging: 2D Shape Drawing
In this activity, you will follow an algorithm to draw pictures constructed from 2D shapes. The algorithms (instructions) you follow will include errors (mistakes) and you will use logical reasoning to detect and correct these.
1) Look at the algorithm on the left of the 2D Shape Drawing worksheet. This algorithm is made up of a sequence of instructions to create a picture of a house. On the right is how you would like the house to look. However, you suspect there might be some mistakes in the algorithm. Your task is to use logical reasoning to work through this algorithm to detect and correct any errors – to debug it.
2) To help detect and correct any errors, draw out each step of the algorithm. Read each step of the algorithm and draw it on a separate piece of paper.
3) Read the algorithm from the 2D shape Drawing Worksheet and follow the steps.
4) After drawing each step, check that what you have drawn from the algorithm matches the picture. If it does then move on to the next step; if it does not then debug the algorithm.
More ideas to try:
1) Can you create a simple drawing made from 2D shapes and then write the algorithm for this drawing? Purposefully include three mistakes in your algorithm for a member of your family to debug.
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.

Internet Safety Rules
Amazing Fact
When 400 scientists, engineers, and academics were asked what was the greatest invention ever, there were three popular answers – the wheel, the printing press and the World Wide Web (the Internet). The overall winner was the World Wide Web.
We have to make sure we stay safe and sensible when we are online.

HELLO MUSIC MAESTROS! Welcome the final week of MUSIC this term.
Listening – Keep Britain Tidy
Back in the 1970’s – 1980’s there was a government campaign to Keep Britain Tidy! This was our slogan back then. Click on the link below and watch this old advert from the 1970’s. Listen to the powerful message the song is trying to put across.
Activity:
Write down any phrases/words that influences your thoughts about littering, (these phrases may come in useful later).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl7FmbrMwjc&t=152s
Why do you think we still have a litter problem today?
What would be a good slogan for today’s littering? Write down your slogan.
Activity:
Watch David Attenborough in this short documentary. Listen to the music as David passionately explains about the devastating effects pollution has on our beautiful oceans. While you watch, make a note of anything that David says that is powerful and note how you FEEL about the film, (this will come in useful in the next activity).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLx4fVsYdTI
Questions:
Why was this music included, surely the commentary is enough?
How does the music impact on this subject?
COMPOSITION/RHYTHM - RAP
Listen to these primary school children rapping about climate change.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuR7VN_Q06g
- Compose a rap – You could work in pairs or small group (social distancing still applies)
Now that have been inspired, have a go at writing your own Rap about littering and how it affects everything in the environment. Use your phrases, words and feelings to influence your composition. Don’t forget to give it a title.
Composition structure
1st verse, a chorus (known as hooks) and a 2nd verse.
- Add a backing track (It will probably help if you listen to this while you write your rap lyrics)
Click on the link below to use a backing track for your rap. You don’t need to fill the whole track; you can fade it out when your rap is complete. You can research your own backing track, but please have an adult with you whilst you search.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6peZYh3ohRE
- Record your composition – this is the FUN part! 😊
You can audio record or video record, either way works. Ask someone to help you with this, that way you can concentrate on the performance rather than all the tech.

Creative Afternoon
Decomposition: Hand Jive Sequencing
In this activity, you will create hand clapping, hand tutting (see videos attached) or hand jive sequences of movements. You will break the sequence of actions down into parts and in so doing will be decomposing.
Basic Tutting moves www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBu3mTyjqho
Simple tutting www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpDFvUz8Eo
Clapping www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXEhm3qVHCc
Hand jive www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5FXpc1nPr0
Clapping patterns explained www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k6J1jdQY_w
1) Watch a sequence of hand movements; this could be a hand jive or tutting moves or clapping sequence (see videos for ideas).
2) Recreate the sequence without watching it again.
3) Can you break the sequence down into parts (decompose it) in order to teach it to someone effectively?
4) Use the attached Sequence Design sheet to record your sequence. It might be helpful to record each part, testing it out and debugging (fixing) it.
More ideas to try:
1) Photograph or record each part of your sequence and create a mini-tutorial.
2) Can you spot any repeated moves and how you could use a ‘repeat command’?

Creative Afternoon:
Algorithms and Decomposition: 3D Building Blocks
In this activity, you will create a simple model and then take photos to create instructions (an algorithm) for others to try and recreate your model. By removing one block at a time, you will be decomposing the problem into manageable steps.
1) Use ten random building blocks to create a model. You could use Lego, wooden blocks, books, cardboard boxes or anything else suitable that you find around your house (see the attached example sheet).
2) Once finished, photograph the completed model.
3) Take one brick off your model and re-photograph the model plus the removed brick next to it. Repeat the process until all of the bricks have been removed – each time you should just include the last removed block and clear away the rest.
4) Arrange your pictures in the reverse order that you took them in, so that they start with the photo of two blocks and end up with a completed model. Label the pictures in numerical order.
5) Give your algorithm to someone else to follow to recreate the model.
More ideas to try:
1) Try to write the instructions rather than just use photographs.
2) Can you break down the task of getting ready for school into smaller parts (having breakfast, having a wash, brushing teeth, getting dressed etc.)?
3) Create an algorithm to enable someone to recreate a simple drawing such as a house or smiley face.

Digital Footprint
A digital footprint is a trail of ‘footprints’ that you leave behind you every time you go online. Most of the websites you visit will record your visit by taking a note of your IP (Internet Protocol) address. This is a set of numbers, which is unique to your computer.
Think about the ways you use the Internet:
- Do you visit websites?
- Do you message friends?
- Do you download music or post photographs?
Complete your digital footprint (attached) by adding all the ways you use the Internet, including what websites you visit regularly. Compare your digital footprint with your friends and family.

Creative Afternoon: Computing
Abstraction and Algorithms: Shopping Lists
In this activity, you will learn to identify the ingredients you need to make a cake and create a shopping list. In doing so, you will develop your skills of abstraction and algorithms.
1) Look through cookbooks, websites or magazines to find recipes. Choose between two or three recipes that look fun.
2) Alternatively, use the recipes on the attached worksheet.
Recipe 1: Challenging.
Recipe 2: More Challenging.
Looking at the method section of the recipe only, write a list of ingredients for your shopping list.
More ideas to try:
1) Discuss the quantities of ingredients needed and do an imaginary online shop:
- How much money would you need?
- How much change would you get form £10?
2) Try out your recipe with the help of an adult. Make sure that you weigh and measure the ingredients carefully.
3) Abstract the equipment needed rather than the ingredients and write a list of what you will need.
4) Investigate the science of baking with the help of an adult. Simply try mixing a teaspoon of baking powder into a cup of hot water to make a chemical reaction. When you add hot water to baking powder, the water reacts with the acid of the baking powder to produce carbon dioxide bubbles. As long as the baking powder is fresh, you will definitely produce bubbles!
5) Create your own “famous chef” instructional video on how to bake a cake.

The RSPB are once again teaming up with the Cameron Bespolka Trust to bring you Wild Art 2020, and this year it’s even bigger! They are on the lookout for talented young artists to enter their exciting competition.
Your task is to create a piece of art inspired by nature – let your imagination run wild! There are two categories to choose from this year:
- Real Life: entries using the more traditional approach of paints, pastels, acrylics, pens or pencil.
- Go Wild: for those of you who want to ‘go wild’ in every sense of the word. To enter this category, experiment with textiles, sculpture, recycled and eco-friendly materials, collages – anything goes!
You can follow the link to the website to see some of last year’s winning entries: https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-kids/rspb-kids-competitions/wild-art/?channel=paidsearch&gclid=CjwKCAjwi_b3BRAGEiwAemPNU0MMSdcGaiBsMQKqmzBUdDtmCxdUtvdCyFmkKL0bNQxlRTCKX6du5BoCgI8QAvD_BwE
Prizes
For each category, the winner of each age group will receive an art gift voucher worth £100. There are also RSPB runner-up prizes for each category and age group too, so plenty of chances to WIN! The winning, runner-up and highly commended artwork will be displayed at The Society of Wildlife Artists Natural Eye exhibition from 28 October to 8 November 2020.
A special Richie Richardson award (and £100 book voucher) will be given for the most accurately drawn animal. The winning and runner-up artwork will also be printed in Wild Times, Wild Explorer or Wingbeat magazine.
Send a picture of your completed artwork to me via Showbie or email and I will enter it for you!

Creative Afternoon:
HELLO MUSIC MAESTROS! Welcome to another fabulous week of MUSIC 😊
We’re very excited! Over the past few weeks, friends of Encore - children, young people and adults – have recorded themselves playing ‘All You Need Is Love’ by the Beatles. Now, all the separate recordings have been put together to make one ‘virtual’ performance. Look closely and you might spot some your teachers or Wider Opportunities tutors! Have a listen. What do you think?
- ‘All You need Is love’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW3WC5bYrAY
Appraising – How many instruments can you name? There are a few that you may not recognise. Can you guess what they are? Look at the credits to see if you’re correct!
Listening - There’s something very special about singing in a choir. Have a listen to the PS22 Chorus. The children are Year 6s from a primary school in Staten Island, New York.
- ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Z6bj3YZJ4&list=PLCADD56F3ED27E59B&index=55
The song was originally performed by the American rock band ‘Journey’ released in the USA in 1981. It has appeared in many films and TV series. A cover was made for the musical show ‘Glee’ which has made it very popular. The children are joined by Steve Augeri, lead singer of band. What does he say about singing at the end of the video? Do you agree?
Appraising – Listen to the original version of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k8craCGpgs
Here are some questions about ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’
- Do you like the song? Why, Why not?
- What can you hear?
- What is the style of the music?
- How is the song put together? Choose from these parts of a song: chorus, pre-chorus, instrumental, introduction, verse. You might like to get someone you live with to help you.
HINT: A pre-chorus is a part of song that comes between a verse and the chorus. It’s often used if the verse and chorus are quite different from each other. Answer below.
Song – Now it’s your turn! Time to raise your voice! Don’t forget those dance moves.
- ‘Raise My Voice! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szmKrOu0V4w&feature=emb_logo
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 2)
Got something to say, got a difference to make,
A part I can play and a role I can take,
I believe in myself, express how I feel,
I like who I am and I’m keepin’ it real.
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it. (Go for it.)
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it.
Makes me wanna sing!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x2)
I want to be strong, live long and be safe.
My generation has something to say,
So much to learn, enjoy and achieve.
I reach for my goal to be all I can be.
Raise my voice, etc.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 2)
(Chanted) BULLYING? NO!
WORK TOGETHER? YES!
HIDE MYSELF? NO!
BE ME? YEAH!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 2)
Strong side by side, we lift those who fall,
Stand by our friends and we hear when they call.
Let’s all make a change, all play our part,
It takes you and me, and here’s where it starts:
Raise my voice etc.
Composing – Composer Luciano Berio uses the voice in unusual ways to create a piece of music. The singer has to mutter, gasp, laugh, whine and go through a range of emotions from tense to dreamy to bewildered. Many people have also experienced a rollercoaster of emotions over the past few months. In this activity you will compose your own 'Lockdown Sequenza' for voice.

Music from Mrs West
Listening
Most colleges in America have marching bands. Disneyland’s All-American College Band goes beyond marching to incorporate some fantastic rhythmic moves to reflect the mood of the different sections of the music. Can you name all the instruments in this clip? Can you spot any players who are doubling (when they play more than one instrument and switch between them)?
American College Band: Star Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGyFrEcPYlI
The Star Wars music has different sections or movements. Which is your favourite? Describe the mood of the music; is the music trying to tell a story? Think about how the composer uses pitch, tempo, dynamics, rhythm and so on.
Now choose a contrasting section. How is the music different from your favourite part? How many reasons can you think of?
Quiz
We all love a quiz! Guess the movies these theme songs belong to. You could split this into a couple of sections as it is quite a long quiz. Enjoy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI49yUqcMH0
Music Theory
You will probably have seen a musical stave (known as a staff in America). Here are two videos for you to watch and join in with to help you learn about the lines and spaces on a stave:
After watching this video, you’ll soon remember the names of the music notes.
- Lines and spaces, baby! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXF-AcYbv0
- Try this note name quiz to see how well you have learnt the note names
https://www.classicsforkids.com/games/note_names.php
There are several elements of music. Musical experts have differing opinions about just how many elements there are. But they all agree that dynamics is one of them. Watch this video to learn just what a difference dynamics make to the music we play and listen to.
- Elements of music: Dynamics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f96k2siTTpA
Song
This is a song called ‘Just Sing!’. Could you add some actions or dance moves to match this happy tune? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut5_ZaEAS3s

Creative Afternoon: Art
This week we have an Art themed week, kindly put together by Mrs Drake:
Investigating Paul Klee
‘The Goldfish’ 1925
Look at the picture. What effect does the dark background have? There are lots of fish, how do you think the other fish feel about the goldfish? What makes the goldfish stand-out? What techniques you think Klee might have used to create the goldfish painting?
Read the following link with information about this picture http://www.artchive.com/1925/klee.html
If you have them you could use wax crayons or oil pastels to cover the whole page in a mix of bright colours, then cover the page with black oil pastel so there’s no colour seen. Using a paperclip that has been unravelled, scratch at the page to make a shape and the colour will be revealed. Remember to be safe when using this!
Or you could create a drawing with bright coloured wax crayon or oil pastels, where there are some white bits left. Using a black water colour, brush over the page to create the background – the oil should resist the paint and show up.
If you don’t have any of these, no problem, simply using colouring pencils, felt tips, paints, sharpies, whatever you have that can be used to create colour and away you go. You could even have a go at creating a piece on the following free app on an ipad, https://tayasui.com/sketches/ or on your computer if you have a program for art already on it.
We have been creating different types of art using Klee’s styles. Pick your favourite piece and tell me why your prefer it? Which was the easiest to create and why? Which has the nicest effect and what makes it good?
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.

‘Castle and Sun’ 1928
Look at the picture. Can you tell what the painting is? What might it look like to you?
What shapes can you see in the painting? How might Klee create art like this?
Klee used shapes to create the image of the castle and the sun. He also used colour – is that the colour of a real castle? Why would he use colours that aren’t real? Experiment with this trying to create this style and your own castle by drawing around lots of cut-out 2d shapes, first with pencil. Once you’ve created a pencil drawing with lots of shapes, you could use a crayon or pen to draw the lines. Then use pastels or paints to colour in the shapes.

Take the pencil for a walk! The ‘Senecio’ (1922) challenge
Fancy a challenge? Time yourself to do a continuous line drawing of a face for 30 seconds only. Only rule, you cannot take your pencil off the paper! You can go back over lines you have drawn or create new lines, but no lifting that pencil up! How far did you get? Then have a go for 45 seconds, then a minute, and so on. Remember it is not about finishing it quickly but have all the detail. Then colour the picture using a colour palette, like Paul Klee, warm, cold or neutral.
Want to go further now, you have had a go at slightly abstract pictures the use his ‘Senecio’ picture below and create your own version and then colour it in or paint it.
Or…
MUSIC
HELLO MUSIC MAESTROS! Welcome to another fabulous week of MUSIC
The Butterfly Song- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C41tLOxjmQg
Performing: Perform confidently and accurately on your own or with a group of other people.
- Learn the song, following instructions above.
- Try clapping the rhythm of the word, ‘grayling’ (gray-ling; minim-crotchet)
- If you have a keyboard or tuned instrument, learn to play the introduction (F G A)
- Play the notes to the rhythm of the word, ‘grayling’ (F F G G A A G G). This pattern also fits with the first two lines of part 1 (‘Butterfly tell me where you come from, butterfly tell me where do you go?’) and part 2 (‘Colour my wings like yours and I’ll fly to you, soft as silk and lighter than air’)
- Experiment by playing these notes (F G A) with other rhythms such as, ‘swallow tail’ and ‘painted lady’ and play along at the appropriate place in the video. Can you sing and play at the same time?!
Cross-curricular links
Following on from our music and art work last week, you can design your own butterfly now you have sung and played about many types. Fold a piece of A4 paper in half and across the centre of the paper where the fold is, draw one butterfly wing. Cut around your drawing then fold the paper out and you will have both wings. Colour your butterfly like one you have seen flying in your garden.
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.

RAINFORESTS
Throughout the week, you will have learned a lot about the rainforests and why they are so important to our lives, animals and plants that live there and people all over the world! Today… your mission is to create a persuasive poster to inform people of how we can SAVE OUR RAINFORESTS!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p003vpd7 Watch this short clip to remind you of our wonderful rainforests and why we must protect them!
One of the big issues that is killing our rainforests is the increased rate of deforestation… there are many reasons that this happens!
-to create fields for farming cattle or growing crops
-to produce wood to make furniture
-to produce wood pulp to make paper
-to create space for housing
Here is a time lapse of a rainforest in Bolivia which shows just how destructive over-deforestation can be!
But what can we do?
-buy certified wood products
-use recycled paper or use scrap paper
-cut down on printing
-buy soy products from sustainable sources
On your poster, you need to include…
-a catchy slogan- e.g. Rescue our Rainforests
-ways that we can save our rainforest.
-colour
-images to make it exciting (need to be relevant).
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.

RAINFORESTS
Rainforests experience an awful lot of rain! Another word for ‘rain’ is ‘precipitation’.
First, watch this short video created by professionals of Chester Zoo who have visited and explored several of the different rainforests around the world! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnQ8E6nzG4o
As you will have heard, in all types of rainforests… there is a LOT of heavy rain. Your task, is to build, draw or design a shelter that could protect you from the daily, heavy rain that would fall if you were living in a rainforest. If you do not have the materials you would choose- you could add labels to say what you would have used in real-life.
Think about waterproof materials… Is the material strong enough? Would animals be able to get in?
I look forward to seeing the fantastic shelters you come up with!
MUSIC
HELLO MUSIC MAESTROS! Welcome to another fabulous week of MUSIC 😊
Last week, we looked at ways you can use signs and symbols to represent music. This week, we are going to explore some other links between art and music.
Sometimes, it’s good to think of music and art the other way around and to look at a piece of artwork and imagine the music that it might inspire.
This week, we are giving you the option to choose which way round you might like to do your lesson – to create a piece of art inspired by music or create a piece of music inspired by art…
All of us at Encore Music Service would love to see video clips of you taking part in any of this week’s activities and share them on our social media channels. Remember, you must get permission from whoever looks after you first! Send to info@encore-enterprises.com
KS2 Project Week
- First of all, watch this video which will explain what we are going to do and how we are going to do it. https://youtu.be/IlNwsUGT1-U
- Next, look carefully at the artwork and have a listen to some of the pieces of music we suggest you use. Remember, you can use your own artwork or favourite pieces of music from home too.
- Top tip: if you use a website like YouTube to listen to your music, minimise the screen so you can use your own amazing imagination instead of being influenced by the pictures you see.
- We can’t wait to see and hear what you have created.

RAINFORESTS
This week, we are going to learn about rainforests. Today, we are going to see just how beneficial the rainforest is, even when we are so far away! We will learn about the different products that are available from the rainforests.
First, play the ‘Track it Back’ game and learn about the process undergone by coffee, chocolate and bananas from being harvested to your plate!
Below is a list of things that can be produced in a rainforest… does anything surprise you? We are very lucky that people have started to use our rainforests sustainably and support tropical farmers to grow, harvest and sell their produce at a fair price!
Your task is to go around your home/an area, and do a survey of how much you find that comes from (or could come from) a rainforest…take a picture of the items you find if you can- you could make a collage or just put a few things into one photo!
It is quite surprising how far some products and materials travel! You may want to research some of the types of wood e.g. Mahogany or balsa to see if any furniture or doors you have are made from it! Look through your cupboards, I was amazed by just how much I have in my kitchen, mainly spices and fruits, that could have come from the rainforest! Remember, we have alternative areas that these things are produced so not all will have come from the rainforest, but all of it possibly could have!
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.
Remember to do lots of reading too! READ, READ, READ! Log-in to MyOn and ReadTheory for lots of reading material.

English
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd7dqp3
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
The story is set in early 19th-century England. A large number of wolves have migrated from Europe and Russia and are terrorising the people in rural England. The first extract introduces the main house which is called Willoughby Chase. The second extract introduces some of the main characters including Sir Willoughby, his young daughter Bonnie and her new governess Miss Slighcarp, who is working with a network of criminals, forgers and snitches to carry out a terrible plan.
Activity 1:
Watch musician and TV presenter YolanDa Brown read an extract from The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
Think about the following:
- What impression do you get of Willoughby Chase?
- Why do you think wolves are mentioned?
- What do you notice about the techniques used for description in this extract?
Activity 2:
Now watch YolanDa read another extract from The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
What impression do you get of the relationship between Sir Willoughby and his daughter Bonnie?
Activity 3:
Read this extract and complete the table:
It was dusk - winter dusk. Snow lay white and shining over the pleated hills, and icicles hung from the forest trees. Snow lay piled on the dark road across Willoughby Wold, but from dawn men had been clearing it with brooms and shovels. There were hundreds of them at work, wrapped in sacking because of the bitter cold, and keeping together in groups for fear of the wolves, grown savage and reckless from hunger.
Snow lay thick, too, upon the roof of Willoughby Chase, the great house that stood on an open eminence in the heart of the wold. But for all that, the Chase looked an inviting home – a warm and welcoming stronghold. Its rosy herringbone brick was bright and well cared for, its numerous turrets and battlements stood up sharp against the sky, and the crenellated balconies, corniced with snow, each held a golden square of window. The house was all alight within, and the joyous hubbub of its activity contrasted with the sombre sighing of the wind and the hideous howling of the wolves without.
In this extract, the writer describes both the exterior (outside) and interior (inside) of the house.
- Skim and scan the extract and make notes on the description of the house.
You might like to record your ideas in a table.
|
Exterior Outside of the House |
Interior Inside of the House |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have made your notes, write a paragraph comparing the exterior with the interior.
You could use the following phrases and words to link your ideas:
- on the other hand
- however
- but
- in contrast
Activity 4
‘That’s all right,’ said Sir Willoughby heartily. ‘Mustn’t let Miss Sylvia die of cold on the train. Besides, the wolves might get you, and then the poor child would be held up on the train all night for want of the signal. Never do, eh? Well, Bonnie, what is it, miss?’
‘Oh, Papa,’ said Bonnie, who had been plucking at his sleeve, ‘may I go with Solly in the chaise to meet Sylvia? May I?’
‘No indulgence should be permitted a child who has behaved as she has done,’ remarked Miss Slighcarp.
‘Oh, come, come, Miss Slighcarp, come, come, ma’am,’ said Sir Willoughby good-naturedly. ‘Young blood, you know. Besides, my Bonnie’s as good a shot at a wolf as any of them. Run along, then, miss, but wrap up snug – remember you’ll be several hours on the road.’
‘Oh, thank you, Papa! Goodbye! Goodbye, Mamma dear, goodbye, Miss Slighcarp!’ and she fondly kissed her parents and ran from the room to find her warmest bonnet and pelisse*.
‘Reckless, foolish indulgence,’ muttered the governess, directing after Bonnie a look of the purest spite.
We can tell a lot about a character by examining what they say and how they say it. We can think about their personality, relationships, attitudes and opinions.
Look at the examples of dialogue from this extract in the table and note down what they tell us about a character.
|
Example of Dialogue |
What this tells us about the character |
|
That’s all right,’ said Sir Willoughby heartily. ‘Mustn’t let Miss Sylvia die of cold on the train.' |
|
|
‘No indulgence should be permitted a child who has behaved as she has done,’ remarked Miss Slighcarp. |
|
|
‘Oh, thank you, Papa! Goodbye!' |
|
Activity 5
Read or watch extract 1 again. This is the opening of the book The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
What are your first impressions of the book? Has the extract brought up questions for you as the reader?
Write a paragraph to summarise your first impressions of the book.
Activity 6
Choose your favourite part and read it aloud on a voice note.

Music
Listening – Love Me Do
Watch the video and Listen to ‘Love Me Do’, this was the Beatles first hit. The single was released on 5th October 1962.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JWl_wUOQc4
Questions:
Who were the 4 band members and what instrument did each of them play?
Research and discover 2 more facts about each band member.
What was the unusual instrument you heard? You saw it on the video too.
Song – Let it Be
Let it Be, is another famous hit by the Beatles. Paul MaCartney wrote this song when he was going through a troubled time. Apparently, he had a dream where his mother, Mary, came to him and her message was, let it be, in other words, things will sort themselves out.
Click on the link below, listen to Glee’s version and join in with the cast.
Think about the message behind this song, can you reflect this message in your singing? Think about facial expressions and small body language gestures.
Don’t forget about good posture and breathing. Think about using your diaphragm, (the band of muscle just below your rib cage). When you breathe in, your diaphragm should expand, this will support your singing.
Just for fun, during the instrumental part play your best air guitar! 😊
Rhythm Activity – Body percussion
Body percussion is a great way to create fabulous rhythm. Click on the link below and watch Bohemian Rhapsody being performed as body percussion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQzuCScjs08
Now it’s your turn! 😊
Watch the body percussion warm up and follow the instructions. Ask someone to join you and have a giggle. When the rhythm splits into 2 groups you could try doing this at home. Good luck!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXOehynKJ8
Activity: Graphic composing – You will need some paper, colouring pens/pencils.
You know the actions for each part of the body percussion. Can you draw simple symbols to represent each action? Can you compose your own rhythm using your symbols? If you want to challenge youself, you could compose a 2 part body percussion. Remember there is no right or wrong here, this is YOUR composition. Have a go!

Music from Mrs West
Listening – Happy - Vanilla Flute Ensemble
Have a listen to these four amazing flute players. A guaranteed foot-tapper!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGI46wikPlc
Song – Happy - Pharrell Williams
Here’s the original song. It was the most successful song of 2014 and was used in the film ‘Despicable Me 2’. Ready to sing along?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0m3Lfkzcw4
Appraising – Happy - Pharrell Williams
Listen again to Happy by Pharrell Williams
- Can you identify the different instruments/voices that you heard?
- Did all the instruments and voices play and sing throughout the song?
Improvising – Happy – Vanilla Flute Ensemble
Listen carefully to the Vanilla Flute Ensemble again. What do you notice about the background rhythms? How are the sounds made?
Body percussion can sound great! Have a go at making up some rhythms and perform along with the Vanilla Flute Ensemble. First, copy the rhythms you can hear. Then have a go at improvising (making up) some of your own. Include some ‘syncopated’ rhythms. Here’s how. Tap you foot to the beat of the music or, better still, find someone to clap the beat for you. Then, make your rhythms fit between the steady beat. Voila! Syncopation.
Composing – Living Room Music – Birmingham Contemporary Music Group
You’ve made up body percussion backing rhythms to ‘Happy’. Now take things to a whole new level with ‘Living Room Music’. Take a look and follow the ‘Your turn!’ Instructions.

30 Days Wild Challenge
Your task today is to map your local wildlife. You could do this anywhere- on a walk, in your garden or even looking out of your window.
On paper, draw a rough sketch map of the area you are going to explore, and map where you see the wildlife. Think about the key features of the area e.g. river, grass, bird feeder, bushes, trees, flowers, ponds and draw these on to your map first…
Below is an idea of what a sketch map might look like… you do not need to include street names in your map as it is likely to be a smaller area!
As you explore, note down the wildlife that you see and label it! For example, if I saw a dragonfly by the pond, I would mark the pond with an X and draw or write ‘dragonfly’.
Remember to send some photos to me via Showbie or my email! Or even better, with the help of your parents and your e-safety knowledge, share your creations on Twitter with the hashtag #30DaysWild. Don’t forget to tag us @WalfordSchool so that we can see your amazing work too!

Fiver from Home helps children to develop key skills, including:
- Creativity
- Communication – written and verbal
- Planning and organisation
- Problem solving
- Commercial awareness
Once they complete the workbook and activities, they even get a participation certificate to celebrate their achievement!
Work through the 4 parts of the Fiver from Home Workbook, completing the activities and using guiding documents.
The Wordguide offers explanations with relevant examples all of the terms in the workbook in case this is the first time seeing them.
For parents / carers supervising or delivering Fiver from Home, we have Top tips for Parents sheet that offers a few suggestions on how to keep your young people engaged and having fun throughout the project.

Here’s a fiver, what business could you start?
Use the workbook to create an idea, name your business and use our Top Tips to create a logo.
Research it!
Use the Remote Market Research Template and example questions to find out what your customers think. This should be completed via telephone or email with people you know.
Plan it!
Use the third part of the workbook to create your business plan by answering the questions in the business plan section. Draw your product or create a poster for your service.
Pitch it!
In the final part of the workbook plan, write and then present a sales pitch to someone in your home.
There are plenty of tips on what to include and how to present the sales pitch in the workbook.
Once you have finished, share examples of your work on Showbie.
Complete the checklist and send it back on Showbie to receive a certificate.
Corridor for Nature Project
Canal River Trust
Canals and rivers are often referred to as ‘Corridors for Nature’. They are home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. The areas around our canals and rivers provide six very different habitats.
We’d like you to think about how you could re-design an area of your garden or outside space to create a Corridor for Nature at your home. Your designs should be inspired by one or more of the canal and river habitats.
We'd love to see your final designs. Share them with us on the Explorers or Twitter pages.

Write to your MP
The UK public elects Members of Parliament (MPs) to represent their interests and concerns in the House of Commons. MPs are involved in considering and proposing new laws, and can use their position to ask government ministers questions about current issues.
Every week, MPs receive lots of emails, phone calls and letters from people who want to ask questions or find out more about something. They do try and answer them all – with some help of course! Anyone can contact his or her local MP.
What do you really care about and would like to ask your MP about?
Write an email or a letter to your MP about something that you care about.

Follow the link to watch the trailer for the West End Show ‘The Lion King’… https://thelionking.co.uk/london/about-the-show/
Shadow Puppets
The West End version of The Lion King uses lots of puppets.
This afternoon, I would like you to re-create a character from ‘The Lion King’ or a myth or story, which you are familiar with.
Plan your character and then draw him or her on a piece of card (the back of a cereal box would be perfect). Remember that your audience will only see the outline of the character’s shape and no other details, so you will need to make it very clear who the character is.
Carefully, cut out your shape and glue it to a stick. Turn off the lights and aim a torch at a wall. Hold your puppet between the torch and the wall to see its shadow. What do you notice when you move the puppet closer to the wall? What about when it is closer to the torch?
Why not cut out items of scenery to add to the scene, e.g. a field of grass? You could even create more than one shadow puppet and put on a show!
Don’t forget to send pictures or videos of your shadow puppets!
London Landmarks
Throughout the week, use the attached templates to create your own 3D London model.
Don’t forget to send photos of your models on Showbie!

Please Look After this Bear
The classic tales of Paddington Bear have captured the imagination of children and adults across the globe and have sold more than 35,000,000 books worldwide.
The first time readers meet the bear, he arrives at Paddington Train Station all the way from deepest, darkest Peru.
Sentence challenge
Can you use your senses to describe what lies underneath the bear’s hat?
As he reached under his hat he could feel______. He could smell the delicious scent of ________. Hungrily, he placed it all into his mouth, tasting the __________. As the train pulled out of the station, the bear could hear________. He looked up at __________.
Story Starter
‘Please look after this bear.’ That was all the tag around his soft, furry neck said.
The station guard had so far been extremely kind to the unexpected visitor on his platform, left behind after more ‘normal’ travellers had bustled their way past. “Always in such a rush!” the man had tut-tutted to himself, before he noticed a bear standing there looking rather forlorn on the deserted walkway.
The bear could not, however, stay at the station. Despite already travelling such a colossal distance from deepest, darkest Peru, this particular bear’s journey was really just beginning.
He knew what might help, and so lifted a paw to reach for what lay underneath his bright, red hat…
Finish this short story to reveal what lay underneath Paddington’s hat.
Perfect picture
Can you draw what might be underneath the bear’s hat?
Can you draw the contents of his suitcase?

Divine Chocolate & Christian Aid Poetry Competition!
Write a poem about cocoa and chocolate!
Submit your poem to our National Poetry Competition, now in its 18th year.
Where does the chocolate journey begin?
Ideas for the theme:
The theme is Where does the chocolate journey begin?
Watch this short film to find out more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGaLWuLzHBU
Cocoa grows on trees The key ingredient in chocolate is cocoa. Most of the cocoa you eat comes from the rainforests of West Africa, where poor farmers tend their cocoa trees on small family farms. This is where the chocolate journey begins.
The journey through history Among the Mayans and Aztecs of Central America where cocoa originated, cocoa beans were so important they were used as money. Nobles drank cocoa at royal feasts. In modern times, chocolate has come to symbolise romantic love and luxury.
From bean to bar Cocoa comes from the seeds of cocoa pods, which grow on the cocoa tree. Farmers harvest the cocoa, ferment it and dry it out in the sun, and then send it to factories to be made into delicious chocolate.
Into the future Changing weather patterns make it harder to grow cocoa, driving cocoa farmers to move and cut down the rainforest for new farms, which makes climate change worse. Through Fairtrade, we can support cocoa farmers to farm in a better way and protect the forest.
Remember this is the Divine Poetry Competition - if you write about chocolate products, don't write about other chocolate companies!
Are there prizes? Yes! The winning pupil will get a film of their poem being read by this year's guest judge, Onjali Raúf, winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2019. They will get book tokens. And they will get lots of delicious Divine Chocolate goodies!
Good luck! |

Watch George on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKKdvyTd4rg
then watch Gene Kelly performing the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1ZYhVpdXbQ.
What ideas did George take from Gene to create his performance? Does the music in BGT sound the same or has it changed? If so, what could be different with the sound?
Appraising – Eurovision 2020
Although Eurovision 2020 was cancelled this year, lots of countries still recorded their songs. Dan Hillman has created an amazing arrangement of the Icelandic Eurovision entry called, ‘Think About Things’, for 7 saxophones and percussion.
Watch and listen to his arrangement first - it’s fantastic!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsR7DR6qaPE
Then on YouTube, watch and listen to the original. How do they compare?! Does Dan include any of the moves that were in the original?! What types of saxophones do you think he is using? How does he create the percussion sounds? Which version do you prefer and why?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HU7ocv3S2o&list=PLmWYEDTNOGUL69D2wj9m2onBKV2s3uT5Y&index=19
Singing – Captain Tom Moore
You may have seen Captain Tom Moore in the news recently. Not only has he raised millions of pounds for the NHS by walking 100 lengths of his garden, he also hit the number one spot in the UK singles chart with, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. Singing along with him were Michael Ball and The NHS Voices of Care Choir. If you haven’t heard this song already, have a listen on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcouA_oWsnU
Try and sing along with Captain Tom - how brilliant for you to be a part of this moment which will go down in history. Did you know that West Midlands Police even named their new police dog puppy Captain Tom Moore!
There are other fabulous songs for you to listen to and sing along with. Try, ‘Dame Vera Lynn with West End stars perform We’ll Meet again 2020’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTWy9jim7Mw
and, ’70 West End stars perform Les Misérables ’Do you hear the people sing?’’.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kIhBgQAw3U
How do you feel after listening and singing these sounds with the stars?
Performing – Pet’s love music!
There’s a brilliant clip on Classic FM’s You tube page of musicians playing their instruments to and with their pets!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJjixNKVh6o
Do you have a pet at home that you could play or sing to? If not, perhaps you could perform to your favourite cuddly toy (yes, we all have them, no matter how old we are!) If you don’t have an instrument, don’t worry, as the voice counts as a very important instrument too!
Composing – Lego!
You may or may not be a Lego fan, but check this out as it is wonderful. On Twitter, City Music Service has uploaded a student’s video called, ‘Everything is Cancelled’. Maya, the pupil, has used Lego to animate her clip, wrote the lyrics, recorded her singing and played the keyboard-what an inspiration! If you’re a Lego fan, or like building, do you think you could develop something like this?!
https://twitter.com/StokeCMS/status/1253679646102753280
Composing – Weather
When it’s a rainy day, can you hear any patterns in the sound of raindrops falling on your house? I hear a loud pitter patter of water on my porch roof; it sounds like, ‘running running man’ in my head! I decided to clap the rhythm, then I got other people in my house to join in and change the rhythm around. We used, ‘man man sh’, ‘running man running’, and ‘running running running’. We sounded them all at the same time to perform a rain composition! We thought it sounded very contemporary like, ‘Steve Reich’. Have a listen to his music on YouTube - do you like it or not? Try and give a reason for your answer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNZQzpWCTlA
Now have a go at creating your own weather piece!
Composing – Thank you!
Lots of people have written songs and music to say thank you to the NHS and Key workers at the moment. I was listening to Matt Lucas and the BBC Concert Orchestra perform the Baked Potato song about how to keep safe. Watch and listen on YouTube if you haven’t seen it performed with the orchestra yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0HMHVD8bag
If you feel like creating your own piece of music or song to say ‘thank you’ or about how you feel at the moment, then do! Writing a poem or lyrics or composing a song is a wonderful to express yourself.
Good luck if you give it a go, and remember, it’s personal to you so there is no right or wrong way to try it!
I look forward to seeing what you produce! Remember to keep in touch on Showbie or via my email address.

International Nurses Day
A day observed around the world, on the 12th of May every year, International Nurses Day is an event that celebrates the contributions that nurses make to society.
This day has been celebrated since 1965, the International Council of Nurses were the pioneers of the event. It is also celebrated on the 12th of May as it commemorates Florence Nightingale's birthday, the founder of modern, day to day, nursing. It is even more special this year as it would have been Florence Nightingale’s 200th Birthday!
Usually in the United Kingdom, a service is held in Westminster Abbey, London. A symbolic lamp is passed from one nurse to another, signifying the giving of knowledge. This year, people are being encouraged to ‘shine a light’ in their windows at 8.30pm this evening.
Use the fact sheet and Powerpoint (attached) to find out about Florence Nightingale. Use the Internet to find out some more about her.
Create a poster, e-book, Powerpoint, film, biography, leaflet to share everything you have learnt about the life of Florence Nightingale.

Newspaper Headlines
You now all know so much about VE Day from our work over the last couple of days.
I want you to imagine that it is 8th May 1945 (VE Day). Your task is to create a newspaper front cover. It must have a punchy headline, which tells everyone that World War 2 is over.
Remember to think about the picture- it must be relevant… You could draw a spitfire… a soldier... a famous person of the era!
I have not attached a template, as I think these would look better if we do them all differently! Use a ruler to get bold, neat lines.
Come up with 4 headlines that you might use. A lot of newspapers like to use alliteration! (where a few of the words start with the same letter).
Then select your favourite one! Check your spelling of each word carefully.
Design and make your newspaper front cover!
Here are some ideas of what front covers may have looked like:

MUSIC FROM MRS WEST
Listening – Have a listen to the Horrible Histories team sing their WW2 VE Day song.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/watch/horrible-histories-songs-ve-day-song
Do you think a song from the 1940s would sound like this? Give musical reasons for your answer. Think about the instruments you’d hear, for example.
Appraising - Listen to World War 2 songs found here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/history-ks2-world-war-2-clips-ww2-songs-index/zbg9gwx
Why do you think songs like these were so important to people during World War 2?
Pick two songs. What’s different about them? Is anything the same? Use musical language as much as possible.
Composition Activity – Compose a wartime soundscape
You’ll need a few people to help you with this. Think about the sounds that would be heard during an air-raid: gunfire, sirens, explosions, falling masonry, people calling out, soldiers marching etc.
You probably won’t have instruments at home so can you find objects that could represent these sounds? Maybe tap a tray for machine gun fire, hit a metal tin lid for an explosion, use a wooden box for the rhythm of marching feet. I’m sure you could think of others.
Make up a short piece called ‘Air-raid’.
How will you start? What mood do you want to create? What rhythms will you use? What sounds could represent machine-gun fire? What about dynamics (louds and softs)? How will you end?
Could you write your piece down using a ‘graphic score’? Here’s an example to get you started:
If you or someone you live with plays an instrument, could you add a tune or chords to your piece?
The music could be based any sounds associated with wartime: ammunition factory machinery, trains taking evacuees away from bombing raids, or countryside noises so unfamiliar to London children.
Share your composition on Showbie!
Singing – Hang Out the Washing on the Siegfried Line
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mN8wZB8ae8
A lively number from 1939, this patriotic song was written as a morale booster for the Allied troops in World War II. Altogether now!
LYRICS:
Hang Out the Washing on the Siegfried Line
Mother dear, I'm writing you from somewhere in France,
Hoping this finds you well.
Sergeant says I'm doing fine, a soldier and a half,
Here's a song that we'll all sing, it'll make laugh!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘Cause the washing day is here.
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We just rub along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘Cause the washing day is here.
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there!
Everybody's mucking in and doing their job,
Wearing a great big smile.
Everybody's got to keep their spirit up today,
if you want to keep in swing,
Here's a song to sing;
We're going hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Why? ‘Cause the washing day is here.
Now whether the weather may be wet or fine,
Well we'll just rub along without a care!
We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Well if the Siegfried Line's still there!
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there!

Maths Activities
Choose from the selection of activities below and don’t forget to send me pictures of you having fun on Showbie or via email!
- Book Measurements – measure the length, width and depth of the books on your shelf and record them in a table. Is the book with the largest front cover area also the book with the most pages?
- Word Counts – estimate and then count the number of words on the first page of your favourite book. Think about using a sensible strategy, e.g. counting the number of words on the first line and then multiply by the number of lines on the page. Now count the actual number of words. How close were you?
- A World Full of Words
Have a look at this extract from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe:
“Lucy felt a little frightened, but she felt very inquisitive and excited as well. She looked back over her shoulder and there, between the dark tree trunks; she could still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of the empty room from which she had set out. (She had, of course, left the door open, for she knew that it is a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.)
It seemed to be still daylight there. “I can always get back if anything goes wrong,” thought Lucy. She began to walk forward, crunch-crunch over the snow and through the wood towards the other light. In about ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamp-post.
As she stood looking at it, wondering why there was a lamp-post in the middle of a wood and wondering what to do next, she heard a pitter patter of feet coming towards her. And soon after that a very strange person stepped out from among the trees into the light of the lamp-post.
Now complete the investigations below:
- Investigate how many of each letter of the alphabet there is in the extract.
- Choose your favourite part of your favourite book and do the same. Make sure the extract has 178 words ‘to make your investigation fair and equal. What are the similarities/differences? What are the most popular letters/least popular letters.
- Look into other details such as different types of punctuation and different word classes.
English
The London Eye Mystery – Siobhan Dowd

Why does Ted laugh along even though he is not sure what is funny?
- Watch the second clip.
- Read extract 1 and answer:
What does Salim say is up Ted’s street?
Which part has Kat been reading in school?
What position is the pod at in this extract?
Why did Ted laugh?
- Read extract 2 and try to writ 8 different phrase / clauses to summarise the plot (no more than 6 words in each phrase / clause).
- Send me some voice notes of you reading your favourite section with expression.

Creative Afternoon – Art
Despite everything that is going on in the World today, there is always something to be grateful for. Sometimes it is important to sit back and think about these things! If you are grateful for something or somebody, tell them... it might just make them smile. I am very grateful to know and teach all of you!
Write 8 (or more) things that you are grateful for in life at the moment... when you think about it, there are so many things to be thankful for, even with all the things happening in the world right now! Below are some ideas.
Mrs Hanham’s list:
I am grateful for the NHS, and all the key workers that are helping us so much.
I am grateful that I am safe at home.
I am grateful to be part of the Walford family.
I am grateful for the wonderful children in Class 5 who make me smile every day.
I am grateful that I have plenty of food.
I am grateful that I can stay in touch with family and friends.
I am grateful that we are one day closer to being reunited!
I am grateful for the fresh air outside when I go for my daily walk.
I would then like you to choose one and make it into a poster like the one below. You words must be bright and clear. You could colour, paint, collage, etc.
Then send a short 5-10 second video, or a photo, of you holding it up and waving (share a message for everyone too if you’d like). I will then turn this into a short film, like the one all the staff made for you, to share and make everyone smile!
Try to be as creative as possible and think carefully about your choice of words! We don’t all want to say the same!
Bring your poster along to our Zoom session tomorrow morning where we will get some group photos to add to our film!
Royal Crown Derby’s
‘Make a Mug, Make a Difference’ campaign.
A competition is now open for young people to design a mug that celebrates the NHS. The winning mugs will then be produced by Royal Crown Derby who aim to make and sell 26,299 mugs, representing and celebrating every day that the NHS has been making our lives better since its formation on 5 July 1948 to its 72nd anniversary in 2020.
Royal Crown Derby are donating all profits to NHS Charities Together COVID-19 Urgent appeal. The mugs are available to order now and personalised gift messaging is complimentary.
In addition, they hope that this campaign will give young people an engaging challenge, showcase creativity and encourage education about the NHS.
There will be two prize winners who will:
- Visit the Royal Crown Derby factory to see the mugs being made and receive the very first mug off the production line.
- Have a tour of the Palace of Westminster and will be presented with the first mug off the production line together with their framed artwork.
- Visit the V&A Museum in London where their mugs will be exhibited.
The prize has just got even more attractive!
Alongside the visit to the Palace of Westminster and the V&A museum, both winners will have an overnight stay with breakfast, at the 5-star Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, Hyde Park. See their website here: https://www.royallancaster.com/

26 Word Challenge
Yesterday, on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show with Zoe Ball, the author of The Child at the Back of the Classroom (Onjali Q. Rauf) set this challenge:
Write a short story or poem, which is only 26 words long.
However, each word must begin with a letter of the alphabet in running order.
For example:
After Becky caught Daniel eating four giant hamburgers, I just knew Lucy mustn’t nab our popcorn. Quite revolting, so, tomorrow underneath veiled windows, Xavier yelled, “Zombies…”
Share your short story / poem on Showbie. Then record it as a voice note and send it to me.
I can’t wait to see your work…remember to email it or send it to me on Showbie!
You can also find this activity on Showbie in the English folder.
Maths
Short Multiplication
To multiply 237 by 4 without using a calculator, you can set it out like this:
1. Start with 4 x 7, which is 28, so write the 8 and carry the 2 to the tens column.
2. 4 x 3 = 12, but remember to add the carried 2 to get 14. Write the 4 and carry the 1 to the hundreds column.
3. 4 x 2 = 8, and we add the carried 1 to get 9.
Therefore: 237 x 4 = 948
- Complete the activity linked to short multiplication (attached).
One Star = Challenge
Two Star = Even More Challenge

Understanding Alliteration
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zf3492p
To understand and use alliteration.
This lesson includes:
- One video to help you understand what alliteration is.
Watch this clip for an explanation and examples of alliteration.
- One video to show you how writers use alliteration to make their writing exciting.
Listen carefully to see how Roald Dahl uses alliteration.
- Three activities
Activity 1: Fill in the gaps / Complete the quiz
Activity 2:
Read the extract below. How many examples of alliteration can you spot?
You can count on your fingers to keep track.
Soon, the marvellous mixture began to froth and foam. A rich, blue smoke, the colour of peacocks, rose from the surface of the liquid, and a fiery, fearsome smell filled the kitchen. It made George choke and splutter. It was a smell unlike any he had smelt before. It was a brutal, bewitching smell, spicy and staggering, fierce and frenzied, full of wizardry and magic. Whenever he got a whiff of it up his nose, fire crackers went off in his skull, and electric prickles ran along the back of his legs.
It was wonderful to stand there stirring this amazing mixture, and to watch it smoking blue, and bubbling, and frothing, and foaming, as though it were alive.
Roald Dahl uses alliteration 8 times. Did you spot all 8?
Activity 3:
Complete these sentence starters. Try to use alliteration in at least four of them.
For example: As brave as a boastful bear.
As strong as a…
As funny as…
As cool as a…
As quick as a…
As slow as a…
Use the alliteration ideas sheet attached to help you!
- One extension activity
Can you use the Alliteration Ideas sheet to create some alliterative sentences all by yourself?
Let your imagination run wild and, once you've written a few, have a go at illustrating them too.
Here are some ideas to get you started.
- a dizzy duck with dentures
- a terrible tiger who eats tasty tomatoes
- a clumsy caterpillar who a caught a cold
