Reading

This week we are going to be reading some fables and answering questions about them.

Fables

Fables are very old stories. They give people a special

message or lesson called a ‘moral’. Fables are often

quite short stories and they usually have animals in

them. At first, fables were only stories that people told

aloud, but later people wrote them down and

published them into books. Two of the most famous

collections were put together by a Greek man named

Aesop and a Frenchman called La Fontaine.

6

The Fox and the Crane

One day a Fox invited a Crane to dinner. He liked to

amuse himself by making his guests sad, so the only

food he provided was a thin soup served in a shallow

dish. The Fox had no difficulty in lapping up his soup,

but the Crane did. As much as she tapped her long, thin

beak against the bowl, she could not manage to swallow

a single drop of soup. She was just as hungry at the end

of the meal as she had been at the beginning.

The Fox told the Crane that he was sad that she ate so little, even though he had done it

on purpose. ‘Oh dear,’ he said, ‘I do hope the soup was not too salty for your taste.’ The

Crane did not answer. All she did was beg the Fox to do her the honour of returning the

visit the next day.

The Fox accepted the invitation and arrived at the

appointed hour. The Crane greeted him kindly. The

food smelt excellent, and the Fox was looking forward

to satisfying his keen appetite. But when dinner was

served, the Crane produced two jars with very tall,

narrow necks. The Fox looked the strange vessels up

and down. The Crane, with her long beak, ate the food

quite easily, and soon her jar was empty. But the Fox

could only walk round and round his jar, licking at its

neck and sniffing the delicious food inside.

The Crane told the Fox that he was sad that she ate so

little, even though she had done it on purpose. The Fox

was angry, but went on his way without complaining.

The Crane had played the Fox at his own game.

The Frog and the Scorpion

One day a contented frog sat enjoying a moment of peace and quiet

on the riverbank. The sun was warm and the stream bubbled as it

flowed over the rocks and pebbles that made up the river’s bed.

Then the frog heard weeping. A scorpion stood nearby, its stinging

tail drooping with sadness. ‘Oh, if only I could cross this river I would

have so much lovely food to eat. Over there on the far side I can see

wriggling spiders and juicy worms, brightly-coloured lizards and

scuttling beetles. But I can’t swim, so I am stuck here where there is

nothing for me.’

Feeling sorry for the little scorpion, the frog offered to carry the

miserable insect across the river on his back. ‘But you must promise

not to sting me, or we shall both surely drown,’ said the frog.

Delighted with the frog’s kind offer, the scorpion readily agreed not

to use his sting. He climbed on to the frog’s broad, green back and

the pair set off towards the far bank.

However, when they were half way across the river, the frog felt a

sharp sting in his side. ‘Scorpion! Why have you stung me? You

promised not to!’ The scorpion sighed and said, ‘I know, but it’s in my

nature. It’s just how I am.’

And with that the frog and the scorpion both disappeared below the

surface of the swirling water.

26

The Frog and the Scorpion Questions

1. When the story begins, it says that the frog was ‘contented’.

Can you list some other words that mean the same thing as

contented? You may need to look this word up in a dictionary.

____________________________________________________

2. Name two things to eat that the Scorpion could see across the

river.

____________________________________________________

3. What would the Scorpion’s tail have looked like if it was

‘drooping with sadness?

____________________________________________________

4. True or false: Frog is over-trusting.

____________________________________________________

5. Tick any words in the list below that you think show how Frog

would have felt when Scorpion stung him:

surprised [ ]

frightened [ ]

amused [ ]

angry [ ]

relieved [ ]

27

Which of the words is the one that best would describe Frog’s

reaction?

Dear Ada,

I am writing this letter because I would like to stop you from

hurting the people around you. I am hearing that you are having a

difficult time in your mission to become a scientist.

Firstly, be kind to your classmates. If you show them a cool

experiment, you need to tidy up too! Secondly, look after all living

things. A cat does NOT belong in a washing machine. Finally,

respect your family and your environment.

Please keep being curious! Don’t forget to be kind though!

Best of luck,

This term we are learning about how we make sound with

our voice and what we can do to keep our voice healthy.

What is sound? Check out this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-xKZKxXuu0

Task 1: use the video to help you answer these questions:

1. What other words can we use for sound?

a. _______________________

b. _______________________

c. _______________________

2. How is sound made?

instructions vibrations shaking

3. Vibration means _______________________________________________________.

Task 2: Experiment taking a small, medium and large breath then using the air

to count up from 1. You should be able to count to a higher number when

you’ve taken a bigger breath! Practice and then record your results in the

table:

Breath: Score:

Small

Medium

Large

To make sound using your voice, a tiny muscle in your throat vibrates. This

muscle is called your vocal cords. Vocal cords use air pushing through them

to vibrate. More air means more sound!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-xKZKxXuu0

53

How does air get into our bodies to make sound?

Breathing in:

To breath in, a special muscle called the diaphragm pulls down. This makes air

enter your body through the nose. The air travels down the windpipe and into

the lungs. The lungs fill with air and get bigger.

Breathing out:

When we breath out, the diaphragm relaxes back up. This pushes the air out of

your lungs, making them smaller. The air goes back through the windpipe and

through the throat. In your throat and this is where you find your vocal cords.

The vocal cords open and close very quickly, causing the vibrations that make

sound. While you are speaking or singing, the air is leaving the body through

your mouth.

Use your finger to trace where the air is going in your body. It’s hard to imagine

all of this happening inside our bodies, so check out this video that explains

how we sing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibJ2xmSJuHQ&feature=emb_logo

Humanities

Lesson 2: Who was Emmeline Pankhurst?

For our Humanities lessons this half term, Key Term 6 from the

Knowledge Organiser is important.

We are going to learn about Emmeline Pankhurst. She wanted

women to be able to vote for who was in charge, just like the men.

Task 1: Watch the video

Scan the QR code and watch the video.

Task 2: Read the text

Emmeline Pankhurst was in 1858. Her family were very rich.

As she grew older, Emmeline noticed that women were treated differently to men. She wanted to change that. In 1903, she and her daughters made a group called the WSPU.

Emmeline Pankhurst is remembered for her hard work with the WSPU. Her group worked very hard to make sure women could vote in the same way as men.

34

Emmeline asked people in the group to put pressure on the people in charge. Members sometimes smashed windows, damaged building and even started fires. This got many women in trouble with the police. Some were sent to prison, where they were treated very badly. This helped the WSPU as people began to feel sorry for them and listen to their message. In 1928, the law was finally changed, and some women could vote. Very sadly, Emmeline died a few weeks before the law was changed.

Task 3: Use the text to tick true or false about these

statements. When you finish, show a member of your family!

True False

Emmeline Pankhurst was born in 1958.

Emmeline Pankhurst’s family were poor. The group she made was called the WSPU.

Emmeline Pankhurst did not women to vote.

Some women were allowed to vote in 1928.

Music

Last week we learnt that sound is vibration. Can you remember what vibration

means?

Vibration means moving quickly up and down.

We have small muscles in our throat called vocal cords. Vocal cords vibrate to

make the sound of our voice. To power the voice, we need air.

To get air in and out of our bodies we must use our diaphragm. The diaphragm

is a very important muscle that singers learn to control to make their voice

powerful.

How does air get into our bodies to make sound?

When we sing, it’s not just our vocal cords that vibrate. Other parts of our body

also vibrate to enhance the sound. When the pitch that you are singing

changes, the place where your body vibrates changes too.

Task 1: Experiment humming at different pitches (high/middle/low). Place your

hand on different parts of your body to discover where you can feel the sound

vibrating.

*Top tip* low sounds can be felt lower in the body like the tummy and chest.

Higher sounds can be felt in upper parts of the body like your nose or head.

in out

vocal cords

48

Task 2: Read the text and answer the questions below.

We use our voice every day. It is very important because our voice

lets us speak to other people. We must keep our voices healthy,

especially when we are singing! Singing is harder for our voice than

speaking, so before we sing, we must warm up our voice to keep it

safe and healthy.

We warm up our voice in three steps. First, we must prepare our body

as singing uses lots of muscles. Then, we must practice controlling our

breath because air is the power to our voices. Last, we slowly and

gently use our voice. We stretch it by singing high and low. There are

lots of exercises to do that make our singing better.

1. How often do we use our voice?

________________________________________________________________________

2. How do we keep our voices safe before singing?

________________________________________________________________________

3. What are the three steps in a vocal warm up?

__________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________

4. Why do we need to do vocal warm ups?

________________________________________________________________________

Task 3: Check out this video of a vocal warm up and join in!

Challenge: It’s hard to imagine inside of our bodies! Check

out this video that shows you how to make a model of our

breathing system. If you’ve got the materials, you could

have a go making it yourself.

Research Project

Create a ‘Shoebox Habitat’

This link has a great video that could help you:

www.generationgenius.com/activities/habitats-activity-

for-kids/

Last term in Science with Miss Hart and Miss Braiden we learnt about

animal habitats. We are going to make our own habitat, a home for

the animal, out of an old box or container.

What you could use:

• An old shoebox, box, or container

• Paper

• Scissors

• Glue

• Colouring pencils or paints

• Objects such as old string, fabric, or cotton wool, polystyrene,

cotton buds, plastic, and cardboard.

• Animal toys or a drawing– optional

74

1Choose an animal for your habitat – here are some ideas!

2Lay the lid of your shoebox on a table or flat surface with the inside

showing.

3Put glue on one side of the shoebox and stand it up on the lid.

75

4Decorate your shoebox so that it looks like the habitat of your chosen

animals.

5Once your box is decorated, you can draw your animal on the inside,

or use a toy animal to live inside of it! Make sure that your habitat is the

right environment for the animal to survive, it needs food, water and

shelter.
