Wednesday 8th July
Art activity
Taking last week's Stik people, this week’s learning is going to make your people move, using stop frame animation.
You can explore this in two ways; either using this website
https://www.culturestreet.org.uk/activities/stopframeanimator/index.php?id=1
or using the 2Animate Programme on Purple Mash. Find it in Tools > Art & Design section.
There is a really helpful video to show you the basic tools on the top right hand corner of the screen.
Choose a background or make your own from this icon
And a really good way to make your animation run smoothly is to use the ‘onion skin’ tool which lets you see where the previous frames drawing is and copy over that and make small changes to your figures movement.
I have saved a rainbow background if any of you want to use that.
It would be great to see your figures dance, run, jump for joy or if any of you want a challenge, can you add sound to make them speak?
Don’t forget to save your work…. Enjoy!
Music activity
I have been loving your work on busy beats, you have produced some great compositions and I have been setting you some tricky tasks.
This week is a little freer, rather than following instructions, this week you are going to compose a piece of music that sounds like summer.
Can you get Ice Cream van chimes in, sounds that sound like waves or seagulls?
What do you hear?
How does the sunshine make you feel?
Think of all the skills we have learnt, recording melodies, creating interesting rhythms with doors, altering the volumes of samples.
Have fun! Mr Hornby.
Special Challenge:
Can you use the microphone? It is hidden in the My Sounds section, and you record the same way as we did in 2Sequence...but getting it to play in Busy Beats is trickier....you may need to hide it behind a door!
Tuesday 7th July
English Activity
Today you will plan your non-fiction text (information text). The purpose of this piece of writing is to give the reader as much information as possible about your chosen creature. You will need to include lots of facts and not all of this information will be found online, so you will need to make up most of these details yourself. Be creative!
Make notes about each of these sections:
- Habitat (Where does the creature live? You decide!)
- Appearance (What does the creature look like?)
- Diet (What does the creature eat?)
- Warnings or advice (Is the creature dangerous or friendly? What warnings or advice do you have for the reader in the event that they should come across this ancient being?)

PSHE- Wellbeing
Take a look at these Kindness Poems and choose the one you like the most:
What makes the poem unique? What do you like most about it?
Think about a moment when you experienced an act of kindness. This can be as trivial or significant as you want. Think about how it made you feel and why it is important to you.
Write your own kindness poem. It can be any length, but it must be about kindness. It doesn’t need to rhyme, or be written in any particular way – the most important thing is the kindness within the poem itself.
Watch this video to remind yourself about the different kinds of poems.
Monday 6th July
English Activity
In our learning about the ancient Greeks, we have discovered many mythological creatures (Pegasus, the Kraken, Medusa etc.). This week, we are going to be imagining that one of these creatures actually exists and creating a piece of writing that tells our readers all about it.
Let’s learn about some other creatures from Greek Mythology:
