make instruments from cans, bottles, straws, pasta/rice/dried
beans and other everyday objects.
Here are examples of us completing this challenge (with family
members and pets). Think about our Science work on sound –

lay with her big grey nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs,
and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived. "Augrh!"
said Father Wolf. "It is time to hunt again." He was going to spring down the
hill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined,
"Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves."

to look after itself for the first time in about 400 years. Emperor Honorius told the people to fight the
Picts, Scots and Saxons who were attacking them, but the Brits were not good fighters.
The Scots, who came from Ireland, invaded and took land in Scotland. The Scots split Scotland into
4 separate places that were named Dal Riata, Pictland, Strathclyde and Bernicia. The Picts (the
people already living in Scotland) and the Scots were always trying to get into England. It was hard
for the people in England to fight them off without help from the Romans. The Picts and Scots are
said to have jumped over Hadrian’s Wall, killing everyone in their way.

2. What group of people were attacking England at this time?
