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 first chapter of The Graveyard Book. It starts just before yesterday’s ended.

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

1.) What did the man Jack see instead of the ghosts of the graveyard?
2.) Who was “the caretaker” of the graveyard?
3.) What does Mrs Owens decide to call the baby?
4.) Think back to the the name of the chapter; why is the chapter called this?
5.) Other than the child, who else is alive in the graveyard?

1.) There’s a snake over there!
2.) He’s stuck in the hedge, he needs help.
3.) It’s about time we left, it’s getting quite late.

1.) At the start of the video what do the other dogs do to get past the white dog (Pip)?
2.) What does Pip do to get into the guide dog school?
3.) How would you describe Pip’s success at the start of this clip?
4.) Give 3 different pieces of evidence that supports your answer (to Q3).
5.) Who inspires Pip to improve?
6.) How would describe Pip’s exam day? Why?
7.) What happens to Pip after the his exam?
8.) What does Pip do at the end of the video which means he is given Ace’s cape?
9.) Who was the clip made for?

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)
