Hello parents, carers and pupils,
This week we thought it might be a bit of fun to have a ‘movie theme’. So all learning activities are based on a movie of your choice! Thank you to everyone who has been communicating with us via Glow email, Twitter and MS Teams. Please remember this is only a guide and our message is to do what you can, when you can. There is no expectation to complete all the activities as we are fully aware that everybody’s circumstances are different during these challenging times.
Movie Night Challenge
This week we would like you to organise a family movie night. Have fun getting the family together to enjoy a film in your very own ‘cinema’! Organise a film night for your family using the idea for a schedule attached.
Create a Film Poster for your Favourite Movie
A film poster is used to advertise a film. We would like you to design a poster for your favourite film. You can advertise the film anyway you want. You can illustrate your poster with actors or characters, famous scenes or even using famous quotes from your chosen film. Top tip – think about the main story/message from the film to help you.
Writing
This week for writing we would like you write your own plan for a movie. Try to be as creative as you can. We have included a table below to give you some ideas about what you might include in your plan!
| Characters | Think about who the goodies and baddies are in your movie.
What do they look like? Where are they from? What are their personalities like? Why are they good or bad? Has something happened to them in the past to make them behave the way they do? What do they sound like? |
| Setting and Time | Is your movie set in the future, present or past?
Where is the movie set? Think about your favourite films to give you some ideas. Put down as many details as you can. |
| Plot | What happens in your movie? It might help you to break it down into a beginning, middle and end. Does your movie have a happy ending or a ….to be continued! |
Maths
Information Handling
This week we will continue to focus on gathering data and organising it within graphs and charts. This week we would like you to carry out a survey on which film your family would like to watch and which snack they would like to eat. You can extend this to family members who do not live in the same household but have access to the same movies if you wish – this will give you more results! Please complete your survey then present your data in bar graphs or pictograms. Answer the questions based on your results. Please see the attachment below.
