Reading-L.I. - I can carry out various tasks related to a given piece of reading.

There was some exciting news recently about the author JK Rowling.

She has released a new book and it is FREE. The book is called The Ikabog and a chapter of the book will be released each day from the 26th May to the 10th July. Go to this website and read the first chapter (you can carry on reading the other chapters if you like it😊).

https://www.theickabog.com/home/

Choose a task on this chapter -

Task 1 – SummariseSee if you can summarise the first chapter in a few sentences. Remember to only mention the really important things that happened and don’t use any descriptions or extra details. Important things to mention may include characters, settings, happenings and objects. Remember, a summary is a short or brief account of what has happened. Time connectives will help you: FIRST, THEN, NEXT, FOLLOWING THIS, AFTER THAT, LATER, FINALLY.

Task 2 – Interesting vocabularyFind five words in the chapter that are new to you or are very effective/interesting. Write them down and, using the context of the story, guess what the words could mean. Note down your ideas by writing the word in one column of a jotter page and the definition in another column. Remember reading the sentence around a word helps to work out the meaning. Finally, use a dictionary to find the true definition. How close were you?!?

Task 3 - Illustration Enter the illustration competition and see if you can draw a picture to accompany this chapter. Every day when chapters of the story are uploaded, JK Rowling will be making suggestions for what you might like to draw or paint to illustrate the story as it goes along. There is more information on the website under the tab called ‘Competition’.

Task 4 – EvaluationGive this chapter a mark out of 5. 1- being you didn’t enjoy it and 5 - being you loved it. Explain your opinion, what did you like, not like, did you like the writing style, did you find it funny, scary, sad? Would you recommend this book to a friend? Are you going to read more chapters?

Nelson MandelaBiography for Kids

Nelson Mandela from White House Photograph Office

Occupation: President of South Africa and Activist Born: July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa Died: December 5, 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa Best known for: Serving 27 years in prison as a protest against apartheid

Biography:

Nelson Mandela was a civil rights leader in South Africa. He fought against apartheid, a system where non-white citizens were segregated from whites and did not have equal rights. He served a good portion of his life in prison for his protests, but became a symbol for his people. Later he would become president of South Africa.

Where did Nelson Mandela grow up?

Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. His birth name is Rolihlahla. He got the nickname Nelson from a teacher in school. Nelson was a member of Thimbu royalty and his father was chief of the city of Mvezo. He attended school and later college at the College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand. At Witwatersrand, Mandela got his law degree and would meet some of his fellow activists against apartheid.

Nelson Mandela became a leader in the African National Congress (ANC). At first he pushed hard for the congress and the protesters to follow Mohandas Gandhi's non-violence approach. At one point he started to doubt that this approach would work and started up an armed branch of the ANC. He planned to bomb certain buildings, but only the buildings. He wanted to make sure that no one would be hurt. He was classified as a terrorist by the South African government and sent to prison.

Mandela would spend the next 27 years in prison. His prison sentence brought international visibility to the anti-apartheid movement. He was finally released through international pressure in 1990.

Once released from prison, Nelson continued his campaign to end apartheid. His hard work and life long effort paid off when all races were allowed to vote in the 1994 election. Nelson Mandela won the election and became president of South Africa. There were several times during the process where violence threatened to break out. Nelson was a strong force in keeping the calm and preventing a major civil war.

How long was Nelson Mandela in prison?

He spent 27 years in prison. He refused to bend on his principals in order to be released and stated that he would die for his ideals. He wanted all people of all races to have equal rights in South Africa.

Fun facts about Nelson Mandela

Nelson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. July 18th is Nelson Mandela day. People are asked to devote 67 minutes to helping others. The 67

minutes represents the 67 years Mandela spent serving his country. Invictus was a 2009 movie about Nelson Mandela and the South African rugby team. He had six children and twenty grandchildren.

Could this soon be a reality?To find out about this space mission follow the link below.https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52526849If you would like to explore space and space travel more follow the link below. Have a look at any of the activities and clips that interest you. You could try the Balloon Rocket or the Travelling to Space sheet in Activity 5.https://www.dundeesciencecentre.org.uk/space-weekExtra Challenge – Can anyone find out what happened to the seeds that Tim Peake took on his mission to space? Did the seeds survive space travel?The STEM challenge this week – Invent a Game/Sport.This week we are all getting sporty! Can you invent a game for everyone in your house to try out? Use anything you can find around you house. A rolled-up pair of socks can be used for many things! You can throw them, use them as a marker, put them over your hands for an extra challenge in a game (try playing snap with socks over your hands). Use your imagination, I look forward to seeing some fun games.

A Message from my TeacherHello everyone,Hope you are all well. As we said in the Health and Wellbeing section, this Thursday would have been our Sports Day. Let’s see if it’s the usual ‘Sports Day weather’😊. So have a go at the challenges at the bottom of the grid, you could even come up with your own challenges if you wish. It would be great if you could encourage some of your family to join in the activities with you. Remember to be careful when carrying out the challenges, find a clear space, wear suitable clothes and trainers and drink water if it is hot. Also, do a little warm-up before you start so you don’t injure yourself and after the exercises do a cool down, a few stretches (maybe some of the yoga poses from last week).Here is the link again. You might want to do it at the end of the week after all the challenges😊.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZxR3cCFU48Have fun,Miss Murphy and Miss Welsh
