Every good story needs strong characters. There are six categories to think about when designing a character.

Listen to the rich and poor audio.Key question: ‘What jobs need to be done for the rich and the poor?’Then listen to the work and play audio.Key question: ‘What jobs and activities were possible in the Tudor era?’After listening: Create a ‘Job description’ for jobs and activities in the Tudor Era.A job description explains what someone’s job is. Your job descriptions need to explain what you have to be good at to do the job or activity. Your job descriptions should be about three sentences long.Some examples of job and role descriptions might read… Gong farmer: To do this job you should really enjoy cleaning things. You will need to not mind strong smells or getting your hands dirty. You will need to travel around a lot, Tudor toilets don’t get cleaned very often. Marriageable daughter: To do this job you should be the oldest daughter in the household. You must not mind marrying the richest man you can find, no matter what he looks like. You should enjoy doing as you’re told. Tudor footballer: To do this activity you should be strong and you should enjoy fighting. You will need to have another job to earn money because football is just for fun. You must not be scared of getting seriously hurt, because that just might happen.

Idea

sThe project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about music. Learning may focus on famous musicians, listening to and performing music and exploring a range of music genres and instruments.

Sound Effects- Many audio books use sound effects to enhance the retelling of books. Ask your child to think about a narrative that they are currently reading or have read recently. What sound effects would enhance the retelling of the story? Ask your child to source a range of props to help add sound effects and record the retelling of the story with their sound effects.

Carnival Time- The Rio carnival is a spectacle of samba, costumes and dance and takes place every year. Here are some of the pictures from this year’s parade. Challenge your child to research the samba inspired costumes and headdresses worn during the parades. Ask them to design, label and make their own mask or headdress taking inspiration from the research completed.

Expression- Kandinsky felt that he could express emotions and music through colours and shapes within his painting. Ask your child to create a piece of artwork inspired by their favourite piece of music. Encourage them to listen to the music several times and feel free to draw or paint the emotion they feel at the time.

I’m with the Band!- Ask your child to create their own musical instrument. This could be a cereal box guitar, drums or shakers. They may even want to make a range of instruments to create a family band. Ask your child to decorate their instruments to make them appealing. After this, your child can research which famous musicians perform with their chosen instrument and watch videos of their performance to inspire their own!

Music Video Directors- Using the song your child created for their writing task this week, direct them to think about the sort of music video that they could create to go with it. They could storyboard their ideas and think about whether they need any props or even come up with a dance routine before recording it.

Coronavirus and Wellbeing- Inevitably, your child is likely to have many questions about the Coronavirus, how to stop the spread and what will happen next. This eBook answers many of the questions and is a helpful starting point for a discussion around their concerns, particularly if they are returning to school soon.

STEM Learning Opportunities #sciencefromhomeMaking Instruments

A kazoo is a simple wind instrument that allows the player to create sound by humming. You will need a cardboard tube, square of grease proof paper and an elastic band. Cover the end of the tube in paper and secure it in

place using the elastic band. Hum a tune into the open end of the kazoo. What happens to the kazoo? What happens to the sound of your voice? Learn more about sound by researching how ears work and different ears are adapted to different environments. Find out why

elephants have such big ears. For more ideas take a look at the full resources here.
