If you’ve missed any of the chapters or want to hear them again, here’s a link to all the previous posts since Easter.

Here is the 1st part of the third chapter of The Graveyard Book. It starts just after yesterday’s ended.

Here’s some questions about what you’ve just listened to:

1.) According to the start of the chapter, what is there in every graveyard?
2.) How would you describe Miss Lupescu?
3.) What did Miss Lupescu make Bod eat?
4.) What is a Night-Gaunt?

Writing

This week’s writing task (will carry over Monday and Tuesday) is to write your own conversation between Bod and Miss Lupescu. It could carry on the conversation from today’s part of the chapter or it could be a completely new conversation.

Remember, when including direct speech in our writing, we need to remember to punctuate it carefully so that it is clear to the reader who is saying what.

• Place inverted commas (speech marks) around what is being said
• Speech should start with a capital letter (unless a sentence has been split – e.g. “We’re going to be late…” she shouted, “if you don’t hurry up.”)
• Include closing punctuation at the end of our speech (before the inverted comma) – usually it will be a comma, full stop, question mark or question mark; however, as long as the punctuation mark is being used correctly, you can also use dashes, ellipses, semi-colons and colons)
• If you start with the reporting clause, you should place a comma after it (e.g. She shouted, “We’re going to be late if you don’t hurry up.”

Last week, we finished the final chapters of Pax. If you’ve missed any of the chapters and want to hear them again, here’s a link to all the previous posts since Easter.

Here is the 2nd part of the second chapter of The Graveyard Book. It starts just after yesterday’s ended.

Here’s some questions about what you’ve just listened to:

1.) Would you say Scarlett was a normal 5-year-old girl? Explain your answer.
2.) When they went underground, what could Bod do that Scarlett couldn’t?
3.) What did they find in the crypt?
4.) What do you think guttural means?
4.) What book does Silas ask Bod if he has read?
5.) What was odd about Silas’s reaction to Bod’s incident?
6.) At the end of the chapter, what do we find out about Scarlett?

Daily Video

A pre-warning that this video is quite sad.

Some questions to get you thinking:
1.) What do you think the girl’s name is? How do you know?
2.) What has happened to the girl?
3.) How does that make her feel?
4.) What does the girl see which makes her want to dance?
5.) How do we know a long time has passed between the girl’s mother giving her the dress and the girl dancing in her bedroom?
6.) What do you think the message is behind this story?

History

Henry VIII (Henry the 8th) is perhaps the most famous of Tudor kings. He made lots of changes to England – a lot of which still have impacts on life today. This being said, Henry VIII is most famous for having 6 separate wives. You task in history today is to research and find out some information about each of his 6 wives.

Here’s some ideas to some of the information you could try to find out about each of them:
– What were their names?
– What was order in which he married them?
– What happened to each of his wives which meant Henry was no longer married to them?
– Did Henry have any children with any of his wives? If so, what were their names?

Last week, we finished the final chapters of Pax. If you’ve missed any of the chapters and want to hear them again, here’s a link to all the previous posts since Easter.

Here is the 1st part of the second chapter of The Graveyard Book. It starts just before yesterday’s ended.

Here’s some questions about what you’ve just listened to:

1.) Who is “Bod”?
2.) Why does Silas tell Bod that he can’t leave the graveyard?
3.) What was odd when Scarlett asked Bod how old he was?
4.) How old was Scarlett?
5.) How did Scarlett’s parents react when she told them about the boy in the graveyard?
6.) Where was the oldest person buried in the graveyard?

Handwriting

Same as last week; copy up the following in your neatest handwriting:

After congratulating Lenny and meeting the King and Queen of Frogkind, Carl quickly relayed his news about the release of the Darkness to everyone. The four of them quickly came up with some initial plans. King Erik and Queen Eve would first unite as many of 300 animal clans as they possibly could to take over the dominion of the Lizardkind. Carl, himself, would return to his headquarters to gain as much intel as he could from his boss Mr. Snuffles. Lenny was going to try and get in touch with as many of his old contacts from before he was exiled from the Frog Kingdom. After going over their plans one last time, they all set off to their individual tasks.

Carl arrived at headquarters late at night; however, he knew that Mr. Snuffles worked late and was always the last to leave the building. He placed his key card against the scanner for the elevator and stepped in. He took a deep, exhausted breath in, realising he had not slept for the last three days. This was something Carl was more than used to – his hours of spy training had more than prepared him for this. The elevator clicked past the 154th floor… The 155th…. 156th…

Carl was sure he could hear voice – lots of them. “That’s odd…” he thought to himself, especially when he thought only Mr Snuffles would be in the building. The elevator pinged loudly as he reached the 157th floor. Carl stepped out and walked slowly towards Mr Snuffles’s office door. The voices were louder now – although Carl couldn’t make much out. “There is definitely something going in there….” Carl slowly reached for the handle stopping for the briefest of moments….

Daily Video

Today’s video is a short one:

Here’s some questions to get you thinking:
1.) What is the seal about to do before it gets abducted?
2.) How does the seal get out of the glass container?
3.) How would you describe the green aliens?

Science

All living organisms are divided between the seven different biological kingdoms:

– Animals
– Plants
– Bacteria (these are microscopic single-celled organism – some of which can cause illness and others, such as those that help us with digestion, are useful to us)
– Fungi (these includes organisms such as yeast, mushrooms and mold)
– Archaea (these are very similar to bacteria – you don’t really need to know about these yet)
– Protozoa (these microscopic single-celled organisms – you don’t really need to know about these yet)
– Chromists (these show some similarities to plants and include algae – you don’t need to know about these yet)

Viruses are not included in these as they are not considered “living”.

Today, we are going to look at the animal kingdom. Animals can be grouped as vertebrates (have a backbone) and invertebrates (do not have a backbone).

Reading

Last week, we finished the final chapters of Pax. If you’ve missed any of the chapters and want to hear them again, here’s a link to all the previous posts since Easter.

Our book for this term is going to be The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I don’t have permission from the author/publisher to share readings of this book; however, I do have recordings of the author himself reading the book! The chapters are quite long so I will try and post part of each chapter each day.

Here’s some questions about what you’ve just listened to:

1.) What was chapter 1 called?
2.) What happened to the child’s parents?
3.) Who found the child?
4.) Where was Caius Pompeius from?
5.) Who do you think the man climbing into the graveyard was?
6.) “Ever since the child had learned to walk, he had been his mother and father’s despair and delight?” – What do you think the author meant by this?

Writing

The beginning of this book creates a tense atmosphere. Your writing task for this week (it will likely take Monday and Tuesday) is to write your own tense atmosphere. You can base it on a scene similar to the one from the book, or come up with one of your own.

Think carefully about how the author creates this tension:
– he doesn’t reveal too much information (e.g. He refers to a knife in the darkness rather than describing a person carrying a knife);
– he repeats certain words or phrases (e.g. the man Jack)
– he uses figurative language (e.g. metaphors, similes, personification) in some of his descriptions (e.g. wisps of the night-time mist slithered and twined into the house)
– he uses a variation of long and short sentences (e.g. It would do)

The Last Wild

History

As you will found last week, Henry VII (Henry the Seventh) was the first Tudor king. He was also known as Henry Tudor. Before Henry VII became king, there was long civil war between the two rival houses: The House of Lancaster (represented by a red rose) and The House of York (represented by a white rose). This war was known as the War of the Roses.

Richard III was king before Henry VII. Henry fought Richard in a battle (known as the Battle of Bosworth).

Here’s video explaining the build up before the battle (the video should stop at about 3:08)

Here’s a second video which shows the famous story of what supposedly happened during the Battle of Bosworth:

Once you’ve watched both videos, see if you can complete this quiz.

“He’s here,” she shouted at the top of her voice. Her mother smiled gently as she placed the plastic crate on top of the table. Amy peered into the the dark space between the bars. Suddenly, a high pitched bark came from the inside of the crate. The door burst open followed by a small bundle of fur.

History

George Be has managed to get a picture of the robin chicks in his shed. There’s three of them in there.

Alex has also had update on her butterflies – which all, but one, have emerged now:

4 of her 10 stick insects have hatched too. They’re quite small at the moment but could grow up to 10cm long!

Here’s some of the fantastic work that has been shared today:

Please keep the photos and emails coming; it is really great to hear from you all and share what you are doing during these unprecedented times,

Here’s today’s chapter from Pax:

Daily Video

Here’s today’s animation:

Before you start your questions, I would like to point out that butterfly caterpillars don’t “climb” into their chrysalis, and that after the caterpillar sheds its final skin, the layer beneath it actually hardens over time to form a chrysalis. Moth caterpillars form a cocoon around themselves by spinning silk around themselves. Anyway, scientific accuracy aside, here are your questions:

1.) What scared the caterpillar at the start of the clip?
2.) What do the other two insects do to help the caterpillar into its chrysalis?
3.) Why do the two insects have to stay on the rock?
4.) How do you think the “caterpillar” feels when it emerges as a butterfly?
5.) How does the clip end?

Writing

As quite a few of you have said you’d like some opportunities to write stories, today’s task is to write a short story about a butterfly’s journey from a caterpillar to a moth.

You can use today’s video for inspiration. You can write your story in first person (as if you were the butterfly or something watching the butterfly) or in third person.

This is likely to take slightly longer than most writing tasks, so it can count as today’s and tomorrow’s task.

Science

Following on with the butterfly theme, today’s science task is to draw the life cycle of a butterfly. It would be great if you could include pictures and a description of what happens at each stage.

Here’s a video showing the metamorphosis of a butterfly to help you out (it is a time-lapse video, meaning it has been sped up and it does not happen as quick as in this video):

Here’s today’s chapter from Pax:

Daily Video

Here’s today’s animation:

and some questions to get you thinking:

1.) What two things make the lady want to get a new robot?
2.) What does the new robot do with the old one?
3.) Why does the lady like the new robot at first?
4.) What makes the lady want to get rid of the new robot?
5.) After the old robot is kicked out, what makes it come back?
6.) Which robot would you prefer and why?

Writing

Today’s writing task is to create a poster advertising one of the robots from today’s video (you can choose which one). Things to think about: what images you may want to include, what information you wish to include and the price. Remember, if you’re advertising something, you’re trying to make the reader want whatever you are advertising (in this case a robot).

History

Our topic this term is going to be Tudor Shropshire. Last week in history, we looked at home the Tudors fitted within the bigger picture of British history. Today, you are going to see if you can find out the order of these Tudor Kings and Queens.
