Wednesday 3rd March Music and DT Learning Information
In Music this week we are continuing to learn to sing a piece of music called Dona Nobis Pacem (Give Us Peace). Listen to the performance track and try singing it. Open the Word document below to guide you through this music learning.
In DT this term you will design and hopefully make and evaluate something that links to your WWII topic.
You can choose whether you want to design a gas mask, an aeroplane or an Anderson shelter (or you can suggest a different artefact). You will need to decide what the purpose of your design is; this is called 'the brief' eg
The gas mask must fit a child's head, must be comfortable to wear for 15 minutes and must not allow the wearer to smell anything outside the mask.
The plane must be at least 30cm long, fly a distance of at least 2 metres and should be able to land without disintegrating.
The Anderson Shelter must be waterproof and must withhold a 1kg weight being placed on it.
Follow the Word document below for the item you have chosen to design and complete each section as you design, make and evaluate your item.
Music and Art Learning, Wednesday 13th January
Dear Cameron Class,
For Music today, please listen again to the Poverty Knock audio clip (still available under last week's learning below) and try to sing along. Open the 'Instruments of the Orchestra' Word document below and look at how an orchestra is split into instrument families and where they sit. Answer the questions and return the sheet to me by Friday 15th January please.
For Art, you are going to draw an object in your house, really concentrating on everything you have learned about light and shade. Look at the pdf 'Drawing an Artefact' and follow the instructions on the slides. Please return your work to me by Friday 15th January.

For Art, please read through the powerpoint 'Rich and Poor Victorians' and then, using pencil and paper, draw a rich and a poor Victorian based on the photographs included. Think about hairstyles, clothes, accessories (handbags, scarves etc). You can choose if they are adults or children.
For Music, listen to the audio track 'Poverty Knocks' and follow along with the score (the sheet music) open, thinking about the words, the rhythm, the character of the music. This song is about poor Victorians who have to work in a mill. Open the document 'Poverty Knocks Music Task' and answer each question.

Literacy- Writing
WALT: create suspense in our writing.
A Large Dangerous Pet
Question time!
Why has the King given his children a dragon?
Do you think it’s a wise decision?
What do you think the children will try and train their dragon to do?
Can you think of any strategies that the children might use to train their dragon?
Where do the children live?
Can you think of a good name for their kingdom?
Why do you think the children will need ‘all the help they can get’ when they come to rule?
Can you think of names for the children?
What is the boy feeding the dragon?
What do you think the girl is carrying?
What dangerous pet would you have???
Possible story start:
The King had known that the gift he presented to his children on their 5th birthday was dangerous. He was prepared to take the risk of letting them own a pet dragon, however. One day, the twins would rule the kingdom together, and they would need all the help they could get. No-one could deny that a dragon was a powerful ally!
Before that day, though, the children had much work to do. They had to train their dragon!
TASK:
You could use the above story starter to write a story. You could use your own if you wanted to.
You could invent your own dangerous pet and write a story about that.
You could write a narrative poem.
In your writing make sure that you include;
Shakespeare and Twelfth Night https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zqhn7yc
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhw9vwx
I would then like you to write a detailed piece of writing, comparing the two Shakespeare stories that we have looked at this term. (Twelfth Night and The Tempest)
If you would like to revisit the animations for The Tempest here is the link

Here is another link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z87dg7h
What are the similarities/ differences? Which do you prefer? Why?
Before you start your writing read through the following prompts and then MAP OUT YOUR IDEAS FIRST.
You could start by comparing and contrasting features, such as:
Structuring your comparison;
It can sometimes be tricky to structure your writing when making a comparison. It’s helpful to have some sentence starters and linking words that compare:
There are also helpful sentence starters and linking words that contrast:
Why are we doing this? Comparing texts can help to extend and deepen your understanding and analysis of texts​​​​​​​
Residential Trip 2019
Friday Update
The children had great fun - soaking Mrs Sheraton... she was wetter than the children when they went raft building and swimming in the pond!
They all slept soundly last night ~ I think everyone was asleep by 11! This is a first for a school trip... and they all had to be woken up this morning. They are now enjoying archery and abseiling before burgers for lunch and the bus ride home!
The children have been an absolute pleasure- the best group of children I have ever taken. We have absolutely loved being their leaders and are so proud of each and everyone. Every child has had a go at everything... in or out of their comfort zone!
Thursday Update
We had a great afternoon yesterday, with giant swing and fencing ( think we have a couple of champions amongst us!) chicken curry or meatballs, salad, bread, apple crumble, yoghurt and fruit - we all had a good feed. Evening activity was capture the flag..,, good job they had stocked up on sweets ( vegetables in bags as they call it!) to give them energy as they continued to run around for an hour and a half.. continuously!
Then bed time... more sweets... lots of chat!!
After a relatively good nights sleep, we have had breakfast of scrambled egg, baked beans, bacon, porridge, cereals, fruit we are now taking part in canoeing and Jacobs ladder.
What amazing children we have with us- to say I am proud is an understatement!
Gaveston Hall Day 3 Update
We’re coming home.... Cameron’s coming home! .....in a couple of hours. Everybody slept a bit better last night so the general mood is happy and excited. This morning's activities include field zorbing and tree climbing!!!
Gaveston Hall Day 2
We all had a lovely lunch of sandwiches and we have been learning how to set the table and clear up after lunch.
This morning we have been body-zorbing and karting. This afternoon we have enjopyed the delights of canoeing and buggy building - then racing our vehicles. Great fun!
Gaveston Hall Day 2
Not a lot of sleep was had by some people (!) but the children were in good spirits this morning regardless. They had a hearty breakfast and set off for an exciting morning of activities.
Zorbing, assault courses and problem solving challenges have been the order of the day so far....
Gaveston Hall Day 1
if you look in the distance you can see the coach arriving... the calm before the storm!!! Everyone has had a really enjoyable afternoon; the children have all learned how to make their own beds - one more skill to add to their repertoire and no excuses at home now! At 5.00pm they were playing on the play area before tea and evening activities!
Welcome to our PGL Gallery and news update
Day Three
We all had a good (ish) nights sleep, and are now packing before breakfast (what a task!!) Earlier on yesterday, one of the instructors said that her group could throw some water on her as it was so hot. The children asked me if they could 'get' me too. I said (because it was hot, a little water would have been refreshing) that they could sprinkle me a little later. The afternoon was jam-packed with activities and fun and then by evening I thought they had forgotten.... oh no.... so, a promise is a promise. At 9.15pm I was expecting a little bit of water from their water bottles - how naive! (I'm still not sure where they got them from but most of the children suddenly produced 2 full bottles of water, and obviously it was both groups by then, ready and waiting!) thankfully, Ms Corlett (my saviour) said only one bottle could be deployed!
We are now about to go off to breakfast, then it is our turn for the zip wire and aeroball! We are looking forward to seeing everyone later xx
Day Two
After a reasonably good night's sleep the children were all bright and breezy with a good game of football going on before breakfast. Then on to the activities.....
Mrs Sheraton said, "We have all had a great morning. We have been rafting and playing on the giant swing and are right now in the middle of abseiling and archery. The children are being an absolute pleasure to be with. I am very proud of their support, manners and spirit."
Quotes from the children:
Ellie, "It's been absolutely fantastic."
Amy-Louise and Amy T, "It's amazing here and the staff are really friendly."
Amy T, "This has been the best experience of my life."
All children, "It's better than Bushcraft!" "I love the giant swing." "The cabins were nice and clean (until the boys arrived)!" "The food is great!"
Day one
Everyone arrived safely and it is, of course, very hot, but plenty of water has been consumed! Here is a taste of where the children have been this afternoon....
Quotes of the day from the children...
"It's better than I thought it would be."
"Loving it."
"So proud of Amy-Louise- her target was to get half way up the pole.... and she smashed it to the top!"
"Amy, Amy, Ellie and Millie- all made it to the top with support from each other."
"Harvey exceeded his target of half way to get to the top rung, just not quite on the pole- but so, so proud of him!"
"Jonathan exceeded his target- he struggled, but he got to the very top..... he's in one of the photos!"
Mrs Sheraton has said, " I'm impressed already with the teamwork and support the children are giving each other - without any prompting. Let's hope it stays that way! They are all looking forward to finding out what's for tea!"
