Maths – 29.06.20

We are continuing using Oak National Academy. The site has been set up by the government to provide home

learning lessons for most subjects. There is still a specific maths focus for both year groups and there are still

input videos for you to watch. The work for year 3s is to focus on reading scales to compare and problem solve.

For year 4s, the focus is symmetry.

There are 5 lessons to complete and each lesson has its own link. Once you click on the link you then click start

lesson and follow the instructions. The lessons have a beginning quiz and a video for you to watch. During the

video, you will be asked to pause and answer some questions using the online worksheets. Once you have

completed the worksheets there is an exit quiz. You will not need paper copies of the worksheets for these

lessons. All you will need is your workbook, a pencil, a rubber and a ruler.

The lessons below are revision activities to remind your child of some of the work we have already covered in

school. Please do not worry if your child seems to have forgotten the work, this is very normal. If they don’t

manage to complete the work in one go, your child can always repeat or continue the activity the following day.

English Tasks – 29.06.20

VIPERS – Diagon Alley from ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’.

Read the extract and then watch the clip...

Vampires? Hags? Harry’s head was swimming. Hagrid, meanwhile, was counting bricks in the wall above the

dustbin.

“Three up... two across...” he muttered. “Right, stand back, Harry.”

He tapped the wall three times with the point of his umbrella.

The brick he had touched quivered – it wriggled – in the middle, a small hole appeared – it grew wider and wider

– a second later they were facing an archway large enough even for Hagrid, an archway on to a cobbled street

which twisted and turned out of sight.

“Welcome,” said Hagrid, “to Diagon Alley.”

He grinned at Harry’s amazement. They stepped through the archway. Harry looked quickly over his shoulder

and saw the archway shrink instantly back into solid wall.

The sun shone brightly on a stack of cauldrons outside the nearest shop. Cauldrons – All sizes – Copper, Brass,

Pewter, Silver – Self- stirring – Collapsible said a sign hanging over the them.

“Yeah, you’ll be needin’ one,” said Hagrid, “but we gotta get yer money first.”

Harry wished he had eight more eyes. He turned his head in every direction as they walked up the street,

trying to look at once: the shops, the things outside them, the people doing their shopping. A plump woman

outside an apothecary’s was shaking her head as they passed, saying, “Dragon liver, sixteen Sickles an ounce,

they’re mad...”

A low, soft hooting came out from a dark shop with a sign saying Eeylops Owl Emporium – Tawny, Screech, Barn,

Brown and Snowy. Several boys of about Harry’s age had their noses pressed against a window with broomsticks

in it. “Look,” Harry heard one of them say, “The new nimbus Two Thousand – fastest ever.“ There were shops

selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments Harry had never seen before, windows

stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels’ eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills and rolls of parchment,

potion bottles, globes of the moon...

“Gringotts,” said Hagrid.

They had reached a snowy-white building which towered over the other little shops. Standing beside its

burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, was -

Q1 – R. Using the extract from the story and the video clip, list as many things as you

can that are for sale in Diagon Alley.

Q2 – V.E. Explain what ‘tottering’ means? Why do you think the author chose that

word?

Q3 – I.E. What are the main differences between the extract and the clip? Why are

they not exactly the same?

Q4 – R.E. Explain how Hagrid and Harry get into Diagon Alley.

Q5 – I. Why do you think the lady was shaking her head about Dragon’s liver?

Q6 – V.E. Why do you think the author used the words ‘quills’ and ‘parchment’ instead of

pens and paper?

Q7 – I. What do you think was waiting outside the bank, wearing scarlet and gold?

Q8 – S. Summarise what Harry sees when he enters the alley.

Challenge Choose one part of the alley to describe in your own words.

Writing

Task 1

Watch this clip: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zbt76sg Make a list comparing the Snow

Dragons with the Fire Dragons. How is the world in the story different from our world? What

other fantasy creatures can you think of? Draw pictures and make notes, they will come in useful

later...

Task 2

Fantasy stories usually some or all of the following: set in imaginary worlds; have good and bad

characters; magic; conflict; talking animals or objects; a way in and out of the imaginary world; a

problem; and a solution. For this task think about animals or objects which could come alive in

your story. These clips might help with ideas:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwEke2WGgi8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksiQGrwvjYc

Task 3

Decide on an animal or object that will come to life in your story. Make a mind map or list of

ideas, illustrate your work with drawings or make a model. You might want to use an action figure

or an animal you know. How will they come to life? What will their voice be like? How would they

move? Would they have a good or evil personality?

Task 4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_cqszvdTqk

So, now you know what fantasy stories are... it’s time to get your thinking cap on. Time to create

a fantasy world of your own. These clips might help:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzzVsOdumqg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7E5F1Z5uVk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdE5rQGrlSo

Start by drawing a map of your fantasy world, you can add towering mountain ranges, fast

flowing rivers, mysterious forests, caves, towns/villages and/or secret islands (just a few ideas –

it's your world and you can add what you like!) Use your map to imagine what adventures you

might develop next week.

Task 5

How will your character(s) get to the imaginary world? Watch these clips for ideas, make notes

about how the clips make you feel, what you see, how the character travels...

Art – Famous Landmark Sketches

Linking to the geography this week in art we would like you to draw a famous landmark of

France.

Ken Drone is a famous artist that has drawn many landmarks of Australia. In this video clip

he draws a famous landmark of the United Kingdom, Tower Bridge of London. He uses a

simplified style of drawing using strokes and colours with very little detail.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zdsb9j6

Using some inspiration from his work, have a go at drawing your own French landmark. Try to

include some of the drawing techniques you have discovered over the past few weeks.

Here are some ideas to help you sketch a French landmark. You can search the internet to

find other famous land marks of France.

D.T. - Eiffel Tower

EIFFEL TOWER in Paris, France.

There is almost always a queue to go up the

Eiffel Tower. When you get to the front of

the queue, you’ll still have to climb 1,665

steps to get to the top. Luckily, there are

also lifts! Visitors can walk up the first two

levels and take a lift to the third and final

level.

From the top, there’s a 360-degree view of Paris. It’s particularly beautiful at night.

The Eiffel Tower is 1,063 feet tall. It was the tallest structure in the world until the

Empire State Building was built in New York in 1930.

The tower isn’t always the same height, though. During cold weather, the tower shrinks and

is six inches shorter!

When it’s windy, the tower sways around two to three inches in the wind.

There are 18,038 metal parts in the tower and 7,300 tons of iron. There is so much iron that

the tower’s nickname is the Iron Lady!

The tower is repainted every seven years. This takes 15 months and 60 tons of paint! It also

takes 25 painters who paint the tower with paintbrushes - Yes, it’s all done by hand! The

tower hasn’t always been the same colour, though; it used to be a red-brown colour but today

it’s bronze.

72 engineers, scientists and mathematicians worked on the tower. All of their names are

engraved on the side.

Each night, 20,000 lightbulbs light up the tower. Sometimes there are special light shows,

too, such as on New Year’s Eve 2000.

If guests get hungry or thirsty while visiting the tower, they can try one of the tower’s

restaurants or bars, and enjoy beautiful views of the city as they eat and drink.

When the building of the tower began, not everyone in Paris was happy about it. They didn’t

all love the idea of the huge, modern metal structure. Today, however, the tower is the

symbol not only of Paris but also of France.

Task: Can you build a replica of the Eiffel Tower using straws and tape? Maybe

you can use other materials such as Lego, K’NEX or modelling materials from

the recycling, such as carboard boxes.

Suggestions for using straws and tape:

Uprights: Tape the straw to the cardboard so half the

tape is pressed flat against the cardboard and the other

half is pinched around the straw.

Wraparounds: When connecting two straws together, wrap

the tape completely around one of the straws and stick

the tape to itself.

Overlap and wrap: To make a long beam, overlap two

straws by about 2cm. Then tightly wrap a piece of tape

around the overlapped area.
