This Week: Singing (20-30 minutes)

Music - Singing

• Mrs Callaway and I thought that it might be fun to do some singing at home as we are really missing our singing assemblies at school – and we are sure that you are, too!

• I’ve put links to three great songs, which all include lyrics in the videos so you can sing along easily, on the next few pages.

• I’ve chosen these songs as they are uplifting, and they all make me feel happy when I sing them!

• Do have a sing at home, and encourage your family to join in as well!

Music – Singing: Live Lounge Allstars: ‘Times Like These’

• This song was originally written and performed by the band called ‘Foo Fighters’, but has been re-recorded in Lockdown by a multitude of stars, at home in their living rooms!

• Live Lounge Allstars - Times Like These (Lyric Video - BBC Radio 1 Stay Home Live Lounge)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_7p4TE6ixU • (Lyrics are on the video!)

Music – Singing: Pink: ‘A Million Dreams’

• This song was originally written for the film ‘The Greatest Showman’, which is a musical. It has been re-recorded by the singer Pink, who has a great voice!

Music – Singing: Anthem Lights: ‘Who I'm Meant To Be’

• This song is from an American band called Anthem Lights, and is all about wanting to be yourself and not worrying about other people’s dreams, but having your own.

This Week: Science: Healthy Eating

Comprehension

Science: Healthy Eating Comprehension

• You will find the ‘Giraffes Science Healthy Eating Comprehension’ in a separate PDF document underneath this ‘Other Subjects’ PowerPoint. (N.B. ‘confectionery’ = chocolates and sweets.)

• The text, questions, and answers (for your parents to use to check your work after you have finished), are all on the document.

• You may print out the relevant pages, or you can read them on the screen, and write the answers into your book.

• Please write your answers in full sentences, with correct punctuation. – Easy: You will need to read the text on Page 1, and complete the

questions on Page 2. Your answers are on Page 3. – Medium: You will need to read the text on Page 4, and complete

the questions on Page 5. Your answers are on Page 7. – Challenge: You will need to read the text on Page 4, and complete

the questions on Page 6. Your answers are on Page 7.

Science: Art Task! Healthy Eating Pyramid

• Draw the Healthy Eating Pyramid from the

comprehension (it is on a previous page on this

PowerPoint to help you).

• Pick 2 or 3 items to illustrate each food group.

• Make sure you draw the triangle accurately, and make

each row clear in size. (Link to Maths!) Use a ruler and

measure your lines. It is an equilateral triangle.

• Label it accurately, as they have done in the example.

• You might like to Google ‘healthy eating pyramid’ for

other examples, if you’d like to do a slightly different

one!
