Today's spelling test to be done after the English lesson
11.45-12.15 Music
We will start with Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth symphony: an incredibly famous piece of classical music. It is the 250th anniversary of his birth this year. Use this site to listen to it and learn about it. Write down a few thoughts on the music. Did you recognise it? If so, where from? How did it make you feel? Did your feelings change as the music changed?
If you enjoyed it, look up some more of Beethoven's work on youtube.
Moonlight Sonata is a piece you may recognise, as well as Ode to Joy
Amazingly, Beethoven wrote his 9th Symphony (which Ode to Joy is from) after he had gone deaf!
1.30-2.15 Art
Make a start on this 30-day art challenge if you have not done so already.
Reading - Where to find books
The most valuable activity children can do is read. If the libraries are closed or you do not have books at home, texts can be found here:
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
(you need to register for free first)
You can also access free pdfs and audiobooks of 6 classic children’s novels here:
https://www.researchify.co.uk/audiobooks.html (no login required) (including Alice in Wonderland, which some of you took home)
You can access free downloads of First News, a good-quality children’s newspaper, here for a limited period:
https://subscribe.firstnews.co.uk/free-downloadable-issue/
Personal Project
Spend some time each day researching and creating a personal project. Become an expert in something! It could be animals, a period of history, a sport, a scientific topic. Your work could take the form of a book, a film, a piece of artwork, a model or a poster (or something I have not thought of!) Maybe you could learn a new skill and demonstrate it to us when you come back. Or you might want to keep a journal and learn a little bit about a topic each day. The links on the first page of the remote learning website (where all the year groups are) might be useful.
Whatever you decide to do, bring it with you when we come back to school, whenever that may be.
