Science

If you haven’t finished your work about the endangered species please complete that. I have included the information from last week.

Include the following :

• Describe what the creature looks like, size , colour etc
• Where in the world does the animal live? (Include a labelled map)
• How many animals of this species are there left in the world?
• What are the reasons they are endangered ? e.g. loss of habitat, hunted
• Are there any conservation projects that are helping to save the species ? What do they do?

Using your persuasive writing techniques that you learnt in English do one or more of the following :-

• Write a letter of speech trying to persuade someone to help save the animal you have researched. Don’t forget to use emotive language in your writing.
• Write a story about the rescue of an endangered animal.
• Design a poster explaining the threat to the animal and persuading people to save it.

Music/Singing Assemblies

Please see this week's message from our music teacher, Mrs Lawrence:

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well and happy!

This week I have some dancing for you to do. When singers perform, whether that is in pop music or musical theatre (or many other genres of music), they very often have to dance too. Here are three short dance tutorials from Disney. Each section of choreography* is taken from one of their Broadway musicals and taught by cast members. I'd like you to choose one to learn.

*Do you remember the word 'choreography'? its just a fancy word for dance moves. Someone who makes up dance moves is called a 'choreographer'.

I’d also like to introduce you to Oti Mabuse’s dance classes. She and her husband are both professional dancers and her specialism is ballroom dancing. However, she has made lots of videos for kids, teaching routines to pop and musical theatre songs. Here is a fun and simple routine to a song called ‘Believe’, by Cher. If you like it, do check out her other dance classes. Perhaps that might be a fun thing to do over the summer holidays.

If you enjoy dancing, maybe you could take another song you like and make up some dance moves to go with it. Perhaps you would like to watch one of the musicals the songs are from. I watched the new version of 'Aladdin' recently, with my children. I love Princess Jasmine's new song 'Speechless'. 

I hope you all have a fun week!

Best wishes,

Mrs Lawrence
