Chloe has sent in some pictures of some of the lambs from her farm:

Geography:

Yesterday’s task was tricky – especially with some historic counties being divided over time. For example, Yorkshire is a historic county which, due to it massive size, was divided into the counties of North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Also, the counties of major cities can be confusing. For example, the City of London is found in the county of “Greater London” and Manchester is found in the county of “Greater Manchester” – whilst Liverpool is found in the county of “Merseyside”, Bristol’s county is simply called “Bristol” and, most confusingly, Birmingham is found in the county of “West Midlands”. The West Midlands is also the name for the larger region in which the  counties of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Wawickshire, West Midlands (county) and Worcestershire can be found.

Here’s a map of the geographic (or “ceremonial”) counties of England:

Some of the county names have been shortened so that they fit. The easiest way to tell if a name has been shortened on a map is that a full stop is put after the name. Here’s a list of the full names of those that have been shortened:

– South Yorks. = South Yorkshire
– Derbs. = Derbyshire
– Notts. = Nottinghamshire
– Heref. = Herefordshire
– Worcs = Worcestershire
– Oxon. = Oxfordshire
– Warks. = Warwickshire
– Staffs. = Staffordshire
– Greater Manc. = Greater Manchester
– Leics. = Leicestershire
– Cambs. = Cambridgeshire
– Bucks. = Buckinghamshire
– Beds. = Bedfordshire
– Herts. = Hertfordshire
– Glos. = Gloucestershire
– Northants. = Northamptonshire

Thank you to George R, who spotted there was a slight mistake on the blank map of English counties. Herefordshire and Worcestershire were merged together on the original map – which must been an older map.

Here’s an updated map:

Sentence / Fragment / Run-on

1.) He’s here.
2.) We don’t have enough time.
3.) The fox slowly.
4.) It over there by the oak tree.
5.) My tail was stuck, I didn’t know what to do.
6.) Peter was my human, but I was sure about his father.
7.) Pax slowly peered out from behind the fallen log, he still had mud on his ears.
8.) As quick as a flash.
9.) Do we have time to do it?
10.) I jumped, he jumped higher.

Reading

As mentioned yesterday, I will be sharing a chapter of the book Pax every day – which did mean I had to very brave and record myself reading.

Here’s today’s chapter:

Writing

Based on what you’ve just listened to from chapter 16, write a short diary entry as if you were Peter on that day. Think about what things you’re going to write in your diary entry and how it would have made you (Peter) feel.

Daily Video

As quite a few of you said you enjoyed yesterday’s short animation, I thought I’d try to include them more regularly – along with some questions to get you thinking.

Here’s today’s:

1.) In this clip, there are two scenes. Who do you think the two young Chimpanzees are?

2.) The two Chimpanzees play in two different styles; which of the two Chimpanzee’s playing is more formal?

4.) What do you think the relationship between the two chimpanzees is?

5.) How do you think the lives of the two chimpanzees have been different?

6.) Rank the four character’s (the gorilla caretaker, the chimpanzee caretaker, the chimpanzee pianist and the monkey piano teacher) from 1 – 4 (one being the most and 4 being the least) for each of the following characteristics:
a.) Funny
b.) Talented
c.) Strict
d.) Happy

7.) Interestingly, although this animation is called “Monkey Symphony”, there is only one monkey in it. Gorillas and Chimpanzees are actually apes (like humans). How do you think that we know the piano teacher is a monkey and not an ape?

Geography

Our topic this term is going to be “Tudor Shropshire”. Shropshire is a county of England. England has 48 counties.

Your Geography task is a bit of a challenge: see how many counties you can label on the map below as possible – you don’t need to find them all. You can use an atlas and/or any web resources as you wish.

Don’t worry about the coloured counties as these are not part of England. The pink counties are Scottish, the yellow are Welsh and the green are Northern Irish.

Bonus question: does anyone know why the Republic of Ireland has not been included on this map?
