Wider Curriculum:
Science – Remarkable reflections
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zcsq4xs
Task – 360° Periscope activity
You cannot see around corners… or can you?
In this activity from the Science Museum Group, carefully placed mirrors change the path light takes twice, making it possible to look over walls, around corners and even behind you – all without being seen.
Task – Light hunt
Light is all around you. In your home or outside, go on a hunt for light. Try to find a different object for each challenge.
- Find something you can see your reflection in
- Find something that is transparent
- Find something that gives off light
- Find something that would be useful in the dark
Music – Get creative with Florence Price
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zpxm8hv
Task – Find the pulse and describe the character of the music of Juba Dance
Play the audio clip (right) a few times over and each time you listen try these different actions:
- Tap your foot or pat your knees in time with the beat
- Walk in time with music
- Walk in a way that feels right for the character of the piece (bouncy and sunny)
You are walking on the beat or the pulse of the music – the heartbeat of the performance that keeps all the parts of the music moving together.
- Does the music feel like the beats are in groups of three or groups of four?
- Can you think of two extra words which describe the character of the music?
Task – Make up your own rhythm inspired by Juba Dance
Walk around the room at the same pace (speed) as Juba Dance and add some claps as you walk in time.
You could:
- Clap at the same time as you step
- Clap in between your steps
- Do a mixture of the two
Create a pattern made up of walking and clapping that lasts for four beats.
Repeat your phrase four times over (four lots of four beats).
Practice your pattern so that you can remember it and, when you’re feeling confident, perform your pattern to somebody else.
Task – Compose a piece based on Juba Dance using sounds you can make with your body
Before making up your own piece, you need to find some sounds you can make with your hands and body.
Here are some ideas to try or you can invent your own:
- Finger click
- Chest tap
- Thigh slap
- Ankle slap (you have to lift your foot for this!)
- Hand clap with very straight fingers and stiff palms
- Hand clap with cupped hands
- Foot stamp
Choose four different sounds and create a pattern with your sounds that lasts for four beats.
Your pattern might look something like this:
Practice your pattern so you can repeat it four times, which will create a 16-beat pattern (four lots of four) and, when you’re feeling confident, perform your pattern to somebody else.
ART – Pop art and printing
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znw3hcw
Task – Create your own piece of pop art in the style of Andy Warhol.
Be imaginative – you can have green hair and yellow skin!
You could:
- use different coloured paper to cut shapes out
- create a print with lego, sponges or other objects in paint
- take a selfie, print it off 4 times in black and white and colour it in – make sure the details are still clear
