Language Skills (Secondary)
Good morning everyone,
Another glorious day! Hope you get out in the sunshine today.
Final activities for Film Week!
This week we have been watching films (of your choice) and completing various activities (please see previous posts if you have missed them and want to catch up).
Today we are going to think about the conflict or problem in the film and the solution. Try one or more of the following activities:
Conflict and Solution:
- Tell an adult about the conflict or problem in the film. What happens? How does this problem get sorted out?
- Draw some pictures to show the problem and how it is fixed or sorted out (you could do a before and after picture).
- Draw some pictures to show the problem and how it is fixed or sorted out – label your drawings.
- Write a few sentences (or more if you can manage) about the conflict or problem in the film. What happens? Why does this happen? How does this problem get solved?
- Write three short paragraphs about the conflict and solution in the film:
- What is the conflict or problem? Why does it occur?
- What is the solution to the problem?
- How do you feel about the solution? Would you prefer a different solution? Are you happy about the ending? Why or why not?
Good luck!

What to do today
Please join in with the activities below. The more who can join in, the more fun, too. Not all of the activities are for everyone, so just do the ones you enjoy and as many times as you like.
Play along using any kind of instrument or use body percussion – clapping, tapping, clicking, stamping your feet.
Question: Do you have any suggestions for songs to appear in the Karaoke Corner? Let me or Connie know and maybe we can choose one for everyone to enjoy.
Activities (links below)
- Hello Song
- Bounce and catch
- Clap, tap and sing along to Old King Glory.
- Funga Alafia. Copy the actions and sing along to this song from Nigeria. The lyrics mean “Give us peace/ Thank you, thank you”
- Karaoke Corner: Times Like These by The Radio 1 All Stars and the original version by The Foo Fighters. Which version do you prefer? Can you spot Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters in the first video? Look out for other Karaoke Corner blog posts for more songs.
- Time to move. Play the instruments along to the video or get up and dance. If you like, get a scarf to play with. This week is a sunny mellow classic, Weather With You by New Zealand band Crowded House.
- Time to chill. This week we are listening to Celeste by Roger and Brian Eno. Brian Eno played with Roxy Music and worked with U2. He also invented ambient music and the two brothers often create music together. If you like this, you might enjoy making music on the Bloom app, which Brian Eno created.
- Goodbye Song
Hello Song
More ideas with this video
- If you can’t tap along, maybe a friend can tap your arm or foot for you so that you can feel the beat of the music.
- Can you stamp your feet to the music? Can you tap your shoulders or your head? Move your fingers
- Maybe try playing along with a shaker, or tap something that makes a sound that you like. A box of cereal?
