Maths

Answers to yesterday’s tasks are below. Task 1 needed you to convert all the fractions to decimals to help you before plotting them on the number line.

22.04.20

LO: to be able to divide numbers using the method of short division.

Today we are reviewing the method of short division (bus stop method) and then converting any remainders in our answers to fractions. We have done this before but it was a while ago so I will explain it again and work through a couple of examples.

See the video below.

Your Task

Choose either Task 1 or Task 2 both require you use the written method of short division and to give any remainders in the form of a fraction.

Task 1

Task 2

English

LO: to be able to plan a performance poem.

Hopefully you found some examples of repetitions and shortened names yesterday.

Here is a list of fairy tales (see resources) – can we add more ideas for repetition or shortened names to our lists?

Repetitions from fairy tales

- Fee Fi Fo Fum

- Mirror mirror on the wall

-Run, run as fast as you can you can't catch me

I'm the gingerbread

- I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down

- Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your long hair

- What big eyes you have, what big ears you have and what big teeth you have

- Who's that trip trapping over my bridge?

What about some words that could be used for rhymes in the various stories? -Sticks and bricks from The Three Little Pigs, duck and luck from The Ugly Duckling, sweets & treats from Hansel & Gretel.

Read The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas & Helen Oxenbury, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZpYMLp1LdQ. Discuss how a twist to the tale, an unlikely setting or an unusual ending can add humour to the fairy tale. Could the tale be told by a different character (voice)?

Here is Roald Dahl’s version of the Three Little Pigs to have a look at and give you another idea. Roald Dahl’s revolting rhymes turn the traditional fairytale on its head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5DS2DnsJ04

Task

Use the planning sheet (see attachments) record some ideas to base your poem on. You will be building up to writing your own poem to perform later on. Your poem should be based on a fairy tale but have a twist something changed about it! You will need to check if you have included a twist to the tale, an unlikely setting or an unusual ending? Whose voice is telling the tale?

Individual twist to the tale or unusual ending:The granny is a stealthy wolf eating nanny who turns and hunts the wolf to eat rather than the other way around.

Music

A soundtrack is a piece of music that goes with a film or television show. Many soundtracks are as famous as the films they are from. Why do you think we have musical soundtracks? Why are they important?

A good soundtrack matches the film it is about. It does this by using music elements.

These include:

• tempo. This means the speed of the music. An exciting adventure film might have music with a fast tempo. A serious, sad film might have music with a slow tempo.

• pitch. This is whether the notes are high or low. If the film is about a large creature or a big spaceship, lots of low notes might be used. A film about fairies or insects might have music with lots of high notes.

• dynamics. This means whether music is loud or quiet (the musical word for quiet is ‘soft’). Loud music might show something exciting is happening. Quiet music might show a sad event, or maybe

even something scary. Music starting quietly and getting louder (the musical term for this is ‘crescendo’) could show that the main point of the film is happening.

• pulse. The steady beats in a piece of music. A film about soldiers could have a steady marching beat played on a drum.

• duration. This is the length of notes being played. Short notes could suggest film characters running around. Long notes might suggest a king or queen moving in a stately manner.

Your task

Start by listening to the soundtracks a few films. I have put links to some famous ones below.

How does the music reflect the film? Why is it so important?

Your task is to have a go at choosing a favourite film or pick a scene from a film you enjoy watching and create a soundtrack for it. Try watching the scene with no sound on to pay attention to the actors’ faces and body language. This will give you a sense of what the scene is really about. You don’t need to be able to play an instrument. You could use different percussion instruments including body percussion or just objects from around your home.

You might want to take a look at this free resource from Google as the song maker section song maker and melody maker are both good.
