Day 4 The Tempest
I hope you have enjoyed immersing yourself in the world of Shakespeare, and imagined visiting the Globe to watch a play. It is now time to return to Shakespeare’s play: The Tempest. If you want to recap on the last 3 episodes, watch these before watching episode 4

Watch episode 4 of the Tempest

Episode 4

episode_04 transcript

Read the transcript of the episode if it helps you.

Antonio really is up to his tricks again: scheming to get Sebastian to murder his own brother, Alonso, so he can become King of Naples. They do not realise that the King’s son, Ferdinand, is alive on the other side of the island. Is Sebastian tempted?

Now watch episode 5

Episode 5

Read the transcript of the episode if it helps you.

episode_05

At the end of this scene, you are introduced to the comedy duo: Sebastian and Trinculo; and one of Prospero’s servants: Caliban – half man/ half fish. These fellows are also up to no good. Do you think they will  overcome Prospero?

Wednesday Task

Imagine you are Sebastian; write the account of the story so far from your point of view. Explain how you are tempted by Antonio’s plan. You have seen how Antonio succeeded in getting rid of his brother Prospero. Could you do the same? Explain how you tricked your brother when he woke up pretending you were defending him from lions. This will only need to be about 2 paragraphs. However, really get ‘under the skin’ of Sebastian. Imagine what it’s like to be thoroughly unpleasant!

For more ideas – read Act 11 of your script from Alonso “I’m so sleepy,” …. to the end of the scene. STOP at Act 11 the Beach.

We are really enjoying reading the play in school get some of your family to read it/ act it out with you.

Day 5 The Tempest

Today watch episode 6 of the Tempest

Episode 6

Read the transcript from as well if you find it easier.

episode_06

In this scene, Miranda falls in love with Ferdinand- the King of Naples’ son- with a little help from Prospero’s magic dust. It is all part of Prospero’s magnificent plan.

Thursday task
Today I want you to imagine that you are Miranda. Write a diary from Miranda’s viewpoint. Remember it’s been a very busy night and day. Firstly, Miranda finds out her father has caused a storm and caused a ship wreck; then Prospero tells her how they arrived on the island and all about how his own brother, Antonio, wanted them dead. Finally, she meets Ferdinand, the first young man of her own age that she has ever encountered, and falls in love with him. It’s certainly been quite a busy 24 hours!
How does Miranda feel? She thought she had always lived on the island but now she realises her father was once the Duke of Milan and they were sent to sea in a boat hoping they would drown. Miranda knows her father wants revenge on her uncle and the King of Naples. Is she the sort of person who would want revenge? How does she feel about Ferdinand? She is obviously ‘head over heels’ in love. Ferdinand will one day be the King of Naples. I wonder if Miranda has dreams about returning to Italy and becoming queen?

• Make sure you break your work into clear paragraphs depicting the different parts of the story.
• Write in the first person.
• Include feelings.
• Use parenthesis (commas, dashes or brackets) when you are explaining who the characters are.
• How will your diary end?

Over the next two days we are going to begin explore the world of Theatre from the time that Shakespeare wrote his plays.

Monday

To begin with, you need to watch, listen, read and make notes. Immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare and theatre and imagine what it would like to travel in time and visit the original Globe to watch a play by Shakespeare in the time of Elizabeth I

The Globe Theatre in London is a reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre which Shakespeare helped to build.

Michael Rosen Video: What’s so special about Shakespeare?

The White Rose maths on line  for year 5 this week is a repetition of the work from before Easter. As we did this work then, I am revising converting between units as its an important topic in both year 5 and  Year 6, and is a topic that some parents have picked out as an area of weakness. There are no videos for these sheets, but it is a topic  we have looked at before.

Monday 8th June

Today we are looking at converting kg to g and km to m . Remember kilo means 1,000.

kilograms and kilometres sheet

answers kilograms and kilometres

Tuesday 9th June

Today we are looking at millimetres and millilitres. One part of the sheet focuses on 1000 mm=1 m which isn’t something we have thought about a lot before. Milli means a thousandth. A mm is a thousandth of a metre,.

A millilitre is a thousandth of a litre

millilitres and millimetres

answers millimetres and millilitres

Wednesday 10th June

Today we are looking at other metric units

10 mm= 1 cm

100 cm = 1 m

1000 mm = 1m

mm to cm  and cm to m are the  ones that do not convert using a 1,000 so those are the ones you really need to remember!

metric units

answers metric units

Thursday 11th June

Today’s work is about imperial units that are still used today. We did look at this in class before we broke up. Many people still bake using  lbs and ounces. Some people still talk about inches and yards..You don’t need to know the actual conversion but you need to be aware eg the imperial measure we use to weigh ourselves is stones but the metric measure is kilograms. I could measure a pencil in inches or cm.

imperial units

answers imperial units

Why not have a go at the Friday Challenge on BBC Bitesize? The challenge doesn’t appear until the actual day but here’s last weeks if you didn’t try it.

Geography 

We are working through these lessons with ‘the returners’.

Lesson 2 Rivers -Investigating rivers  and the journey of a river.

Watch the video

Espresso is also doing some work on rivers- watch their video and look at their fact file

A river journey

Now look at the slide show below

Investigating Rivers 

Now attempt the worksheet below 2a is a little easier and 2b is a little harder

Investigating rivers Worksheet

Art

In art this term we are looking at landscapes.

We will be using viewfinders to select interesting views or features.The beauty of a viewfinder is that you don’t have to sketch the whole scene – just the part you can see. For someone like me, who is not very good at art, this means I can just focus on the tiny part I am drawing, thinking about relative proportions, lines and shapes within the area selected..

Watch the sense of place slide show

.Sense of Place Slide 1

Now make your own viewfinder, and tackle two of the challenges on the sheet. Don’t try and do them all unless you want to.
