English: Sci-Fi reading

Yesterday we found out about the Science Fiction genre of writing. Today I am going to set you a reading comprehension using a Science Fiction short story so you can see some of the features 'in action'. I have chosen 'Dani and the Machine Wars', see if you can spot some of the features while you are reading it. Mums and Dads, the answers are attached to the end of the text.

Music: Today I am going to take a short break from our Earth and Beyond learning. Don't worry, we will pick it back up tomorrow as we will be doing some Topic and English combined.

I would like you to check out Miss Dannell's Music blog post that is just below this one and have a go at some Mamba Madness today. Here it is again, just to remind you...

Hello everyone!

Here is some more music home learning for you to try and it's really fun! It's all about the style of music called 'Mamba'. 

Go to the website https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/ten-pieces-at-home/zjy3382

First: Watch the video of Pixie Lott as she explores romance and revenge in Bernstein's Cuban-inspired piece Mambo from West Side Story.

Then: Watch the second video and join BBC Concert Orchestra percussionist Stephen Whibley as he shows you how to create a Cuban Mambo in your kitchen! Remember to ask an adult before using anything in your kitchen. 

I would love to see some photos or videos of you having a go at creating your own Mamba music. Remember to upload them to your class Padlets. Have fun!
