Maths: Times Tables
• Today, please focus on your times
  tables in your maths!
• There is a Year 3 and a Year 4 times
  tables challenge in the resources on
  the class page.
• (You don’t need to print the sheet,
  you can work from the screen and
  write the answers down on paper.)
• Then, spend any leftover time
  practising your times tables in one
  of the ways on the next slide.

Practise Your Times Tables

   print, draw it out, then fill it in!)
2. Choose a times tables/multiplication game to play on
   this website:

English: Poetry About Mythical
    Creatures: Nonsense Words
• We have been working with
  the poem ‘Jabberwocky’ by
  Lewis Carroll.
• Today, Thursday and Friday,
  we are going to be planning
  our own poems about our
  own mythical creatures, using
  our own nonsense words.
• Yes, that’s right! You get to
  make up a mythical creature
  AND make up words!
• Amalazazing!
• (Did you see what I did
  there?!)

English: Poetry About Mythical
     Creatures: Nonsense Words
• Success Criteria: Your poem must:
• Be about a made up, mythical creature. (Just like the Jabberwocky).
• Tell a story about that mythical creature. (Just like ‘Jabberwocky’ does).
• Include lots of nonsense words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives). (Just like
  in ‘Jabberwocky’.)
• Year 4 Challenge: Have a strong rhyme scheme. (Either rhyming
  couplets or alternate rhymes, just like in ‘Jabberwocky’.)

Today’s Task: Invent a mythical creature!
Make a mind map that explores/answers the           English
following questions:
1. Where does it live? (sea, lake, river,
     mountain, forest, cave?)
2. What does it look (and maybe sound and
     smell) like?
3. What are its features? (Can it fly like a bat,
     run really fast like a cheetah, slither like
     snake, or blend into its surroundings like a
     chameleon?)
4. What time of day or night does it come
     out?
5. How does it behave? (Does it terrorize a
     village? Steal from people’s farms? Eat
     people’s crops?)
6. What does it eat? (And maybe how does it
     hunt?)
7. What happens to it? (Does it escape? Does
     a human hero try to capture it or slay it?
     Does it die?)

English: Poetry About Mythical
    Creatures: Nonsense Words
• When you have mind-mapped your creature, sketch it
  on a piece of paper, and add colour if time.
• A lot of mythical creatures are a mix-up of different
  animals – two or three different kinds.
• Use the pictures on this presentation for inspiration.

English: ‘Jabberwocky’ - Videos
• This short animation is an excellent reading of the poem, to help you
  with the tricky vocabulary, and with the storyline of the poem!
• Jabberwocky: (Ted-Ed)
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQos7-Vq8M
• Here is another reading by a famous actor:
• Jabberwocky By Lewis Carroll - Read by Benedict Cumberbatch
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Um3787fSY

English: ‘Jabberwocky’
       by Lewis Carroll – Part One
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
        “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
        The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
        Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
        The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought–
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
        And, as in uffish thought he stood,
        The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
        Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
        And burbled as it came!

English: ‘Jabberwocky’
      by Lewis Carroll – Part Two
‘One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
       “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
       Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
       O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
       He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

R.E.: Life After Death
• We are exploring the question: Why do some people believe in life after
  death and what difference does it make?
• Today, we are going to look at Buddhism.
• Read this page on BBC Bitesize, watch the videos, look through the
  pictures, then take the quiz, to understand what Buddhism is.
• What is Buddhism?
• https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zh4mrj6/articles/zdbvjhv

R.E.: Life After Death
• Buddhists believe in a cycle of death and rebirth called samsara. When
  someone dies, Buddhists believe their energy passes into another form.
• Through karma and eventual enlightenment, they hope to escape
  samsara and achieve Nirvana, an end to suffering.
• Buddhists believe in karma or 'intentional action'.
• Through good actions, Buddhists hope to either gain enlightenment or
  to ensure a better future for themselves. These good actions are set out
  in the Eightfold Path.
• Good actions will result in a better rebirth, while bad actions will have
  the opposite effect.
• Rebirth could be as a human, or animal, or even ghosts, demi-gods, or
  gods. Being born as a human is seen by Buddhists as a rare opportunity
  to work towards escaping this cycle of samsara.
• The escape from samsara is called Nirvana or enlightenment.
• Once Nirvana is achieved, and the enlightened individual physically dies,
  Buddhists believe that they will no longer be reborn.

R.E.: Life After Death

R.E.: Life After Death
              Written Task:
• Write a paragraph OR make a mind-map that shows
  your understanding of how the video relates to the
  Buddhist beliefs in life after death.
• Think about both the actions of the fish, and the
  actions of the dog.
• Use some of the key words on the previous slide:
• samsara, karma, enlightenment, Nirvana, rebirth.
