Your Music task this week
(feel free to adapt how you wish so that your child can access it- this is available for all pupils, so make it a family activity like an Edgy Time)
Listen to these two pieces of music; Zorba’s Dance by Mikis Theodorakis (1964) and In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Edvard Grieg (1875). Feel free to move or dance to them but make sure you’re listening carefully too!
What do you think of each piece of music?
What can you hear?
Can you spot what is the same about both of them?
In both pieces of music, the tempo changes. Tempo is the musical word for speed. Both pieces of music start slow and get quicker and quicker!
Now it’s your turn to respond to one or both of these pieces of music. Here are a few ideas. You could do all of them, or just choose your favourite!
- Create a dance or piece of art that expresses the tempo of one of these pieces of music.
- Play an instrument in the style of one of these pieces of music. This could be as simple as playing along to one of the pieces by banging a spoon on a pan, or as complicated as using your own instrument to play a piece of music that you have already learnt but changing the tempo as you go along.
- Compose your own piece of music that changes in tempo. You could use an instrument or an app such as GarageBand.
Don’t forget to record or photograph your creations, performances and compositions and add them to the Padlet. We can’t wait to see and hear them!

English Tasks:
The 3 English tasks are based around creating a fact file. The children have been studying earthquakes in school and we will now move on to volcanoes. The 3 tasks below will take children through the research stage, the planning stage and then finally finish with the children creating their own fact file on a famous volcano of their choice.
Task 1-Research Volcanoes- volcano fact find
Task 2- Plan fact file- Volcano fact file
Task 3- Create Volcano fact file- Volcano fact file-final
These are the 3 tasks to be completed by the end of the week. Please do not feel like you have to complete them all in one day!
Maths Tasks:
The 3 maths tasks are based around ‘place value’. This is an area of maths that the children will have covered at the beginning of the year. They should use their knowledge of the place value columns and the value of each digit in a number. E.g the number 3.452 has 3 thousands, 4 hundreds, 5 tens and 2 ones. The tasks can be done in any order and please don’t feel pressure to do them all right away (the answers should also be attached to the task). Stay safe!
