However, we recommend that this is in addition to the times below. Please do not feel pressured to finish all the material in one week. However, we will continue to give out new packs each week to ensure full coverage of the curriculum.

Reading We will be reading a story called ‘Charlotte's Web’ and answering comprehension questions.

Writing

We will be writing a brochure trying to persuade people to visit a place in the world. They will be using the persuasive strategies they learned in pack 8/9. They will follow the steps in the pack to complete the answers and send their finished work to us on dB primary.

Maths

Children will be learning about shape and symmetry. They will learn about different quadrilaterals and triangles. Also, they will learn to find the line of symmetry of shapes by folding paper and using mirrors.

Spelling Children will be doing spelling work based upon the vocabulary from this week’s reading. There will also be spelling work assigned on DBprimary.

The wider Curriculum

Topic - Children will be learning about the 50 states of the United States of America. They need to use a map provided to research the main cities within every state and the population.Science - Children will be learning about simple circuits and how to construct them. They will learn what happens when there is a gap in a circuit or if there are not enough components.Art - Children will create their own Keith Haring inspired doodle image. They will use the images of dancers provided to inspire their drawings. Remember they should be simple silhouettes.

Extra Activities

We recommend your child go onto dB primary daily to upload work, comment on other children’s work or complete activities. We are there to respond any issues with the packs. There will be daily activities uploaded onto dB primary that will include French, Music and Online safety. There will also be writing and maths challenges available.

Websites Go on this site dkfindout.com and research information about USA. Go on epic books and read or listen to thousands of books available. On YouTube there is science with Maddie Moate, dance with Oti Mabuste and PE with Joe Wicks. Also, there is cooking videos by Jamie Oliver on channel4.com

Chapter VI

Summer Days

T

HE EARLY summer days on a farm are the happiest and fairest days of the year. Lilacs bloom and make the air sweet, and then fade. Apple blossoms come with the lilacs, and the

bees visit around among the apple trees. The days grow warm and soft. School ends, and children have time to play and to fish for trouts in the brook. Avery often brought a trout home in his pocket, warm and stiff and ready to be fried for supper.

Now that school was over, Fern visited the barn al­most every day, to sit quietly on her stool. The animals treated her as an equal. The sheep lay calmly at her feet.

Around the first of July, the work horses were hitched to the mowing machine, and Mr. Zuckerman climbed into the seat and drove into the field. All morn­ing you could hear the rattle of the machine as it went round and round, while the tall grass fell down behind the cutter bar in long green swathes. Next day, if there was no thunder shower, all hands would help rake and pitch and load, and the hay would be hauled to the

Summer Days 43 bam in the high hay wagon, with Fern and Avery rid­ing at the top of the load. Then the hay would be hoisted, sweet and warm, into the big loft, until the whole bam seemed like a wonderful bed of timothy and clover. It was fine to jump in, and perfect to hide in. And sometimes A very would find a little grass snake in the hay, and would add it to the other things in his pocket.

Early summer days are a jubilee time for birds. In the fields, around the house, in the barn, in the woods, in,.the swamp-everywhere love and songs and nests and eggs. From the edge of the woods, the white­throated sparrow (which must come all the way from Boston) calls, "Oh, Peabody, Peabody, Peabody!" On an apple bough, the phoebe teeters and wags its tail and says, "Phoebe, phoe-bee!" The song sparrow, who knows how brief and lovely life is, says, "Sweet, sweet, sweet interlude; sweet, sweet, sweet interlude." If you enter the barn, the swallows swoop down from their nests and scold. "Cheeky, cheeky!" they say.

In early summer there are plenty of things for a child to eat and drink and suck and chew. Dandelion stems are full of milk, clover heads are loaded with nectar, the Frigidaire is full of ice-cold drinks. Everywhere you look is life; even the little ball of spit on the weed stalk, if you poke it apan, has a green worm inside it. And on

44 Charlotte's Web

the under side of the leaf of the potato vine are the bright orange eggs of the potato bug.

It was on a day in early summer that the goose eggs hatched. This was an important event in the barn cellar. Fern was there, sitting on her stool, when it happened.

Except for the goose herself, Charlotte was the first to know that the goslings had at last arrived. The goose knew a day in advance that they were coming-she could hear their weak voices calling from inside the egg. She knew that they were in a desperately cramped po­sition inside the shell and were most anxious to break through and get out. So she sat quite still, and talked less than usual.

When the first gosling poked its grey-green head through the goose's feathers and looked around, Char­lotte spied it and made the announcement.

"I am sure," she said, "that every one of us here will be gratified to learn that after four weeks of unremit­ting effon and patience on the pan of our friend the goose, she now has something to show for it. The gos­lings have arrived. May I offer my sincere congratula­tions!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" said the goose, nodding and bowing shamelessly.

"Thank you," said the gander. "Congratulations!" shouted Wilbur. "How many

goslings are there? I can only see one. "

Summer Days 45 "There are seven," said the goose. "Fine!" said Charlotte. "Seven is a lucky number." "Luck had nothing to do with this," said the goose.

"It was good management and hard work." At this point, T ernpleton showed his nose from his

hiding place under Wilbur's trough. He glant:ed at Fern, then crept cautiously toward the goose, keeping close to the wall. Everyone watched him, for he was not well liked, not trusted.

"Look," he began in his sharp voice, "you say you have seven goslings. There were eight eggs. What hap­pened to the other egg? Why didn't it hatch?"

"It's a dud, I guess," said the goose. "What are you going to do with it?" continued T em­

pleton, his little round beady eyes fixed on the goose. "You can have it," replied the goose. "Roll it away

and add it to that nasty collection of yours." (Temple­ton had a habit of picking up unusual objects around the farm and storing them in his horne. He saved every­thing.)

"Certainly-enainly-ertainly," said the gander. "You may have the egg. But I'll tell you one thing, Temple­ton, if I ever catch you poking-oking-oking your ugly nose around our goslings, I'll give you the worst pound­ing a rat ever took." And the gander opened his strong wings and beat the air with them to show his power. He was strong and brave, but the truth is, both the

goose and the gander were worried about Templeton. And with good reason. The rat had no morals, no con­science, no scruples, no consideration, no decency, no milk of rodent kindness, no compunctions, no higher feeling, no friendliness, no anything. He would kill a

gosling if he could get away with it-the goose knew that. Everybody knew it.

Summer Days 47 With her broad bill the goose pushed the unhatched

egg out of the nest, and the entire company watched in disgust while the rat rolled it away. Even Wilbur, who could eat almost anything, was appalled. "Imagine wanting a junky old rotten egg!" he muttered.

"A rat is a rat," said Charlotte. She laughed a tinkling little laugh. "But, my friends, if that ancient egg ever breaks, this barn will be untenable."

"What's that mean?" asked Wilbur. "It means nobody will be able to live here on account

of the smell. A rotten egg is a regular stink bomb." "I won't break it," snarled Templeton. "I know

what I'm doing. I handle stuff like this all the time." He disappeared into his tunnel, pushing the goose

egg in front of him. He pushed and nudged till he suc­ceeded in rolling it to his lair under the trough.

That afternoon, when the wind had died down and the barnyard was quiet and warm, the grey goose led her seven goslings off the nest and out into the world. Mr. Zuckerman spied them when he came with Wil­bur's supper.

"Well, hello there!" he said, smiling all over. "Let's see ... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven baby geese. Now isn't that lovely! "

American Art & Artists: Keith Haring

(May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990)

Keith Haring was born on May 4, 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, and was raised in nearby Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Haring was an American artist whose pop art and graffiti-like work grew out of the New York City street culture of the 1980s. Haring's work grew to popularity from his spontaneous drawings in New York City subways—chalk outlines of figures, dogs, and other stylized images on blank black advertising-space backgrounds. After public recognition he created larger scale works such as colourful murals. His later work often addressed political and societal themes

Here are some examples of his work, which one is your favourite?

Haring often listened to hip-hop music. Break-dancers used his pavement drawings as a surface for their performances. Do you think these figures are dancing to hip hop?

Yoga can be a great exercise to help to feel calm and relaxed. Find a space clear of any obstacles. You can do this on a Yoga mat if you have one or use a clean towel instead. Make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothes.

Here are some simple yoga poses that you can practice. You can do them all as a sequence or choose 1 or 2 to practice.

Tree Pose: Stand on one leg. Bend the knee of the leg you are not standing on, place the sole of your foot on the opposite inner thigh or calf, and balance. Sway like a tree in the breeze. Switch sides and repeat the steps.

Squat Pose: Come down to a squat with your knees apart and your arms resting between your knees. Touch your hands to the ground. Jump up like a frog and then return to a squat position.

Child’s Pose: Sit back on your heels, slowly bring your forehead down to rest on the floor in front of your knees, rest your arms down alongside your body, and take a few deep breaths.

Cobbler’s Pose: Gently come up and sit on your buttocks with a tall spine. Bend your legs, place the soles of your feet together, and gently flap your legs like the wings of a butterfly.

To do Flower Pose: From Cobbler’s Pose, lift your bent legs, balance on your sitting bones, and weave your arms under your legs with your palms facing up. Pretend to be a blossoming flower.
