Week 3 Year 5 Topic

Monday

We will be learning about French music for part of

this week.

Start by learning how to say the names of some

musical instruments in French.

Use this video to learn how to say and write the

names of the instruments:

Watch this video of a fictional band from the 1960s called ‘The

Archies’:

The Archies first appeared in a comic book,

after which an animated TV series was made

entitled ‘The Archie Show’.

They had several chart hits in the USA, but

‘Sugar Sugar’ is the song they are recognised

for in the UK.

There have been several animated bands over the years, but perhaps

the most recent, recognised group is ‘Gorillaz’.

Ask adults in your family, or your teachers, if they can remember

any animated bands from their childhood!

Create and draw your own band in which each person plays an

instrument. It could be a rock/pop band or a classical band.

Label, in French, the different instruments in the band or write

sentences for each band member, using the examples below and

the sentences in the first video to help you.

EXAMPLE:

Il joue de la guitare. Elle joue du piano.

Elle joue du tambourin.

une batterie

une guitare

Wednesday

For the rest of the week, you are going to learn about special

journeys.

Think about a place with a special

memory - somewhere that you enjoy

or have enjoyed visiting. You might

have more than one!

My special place is Lincoln:

Lincoln

Lincoln is a very special city to me. Twenty-six years ago, I

moved out of my parents' house in Grimsby to go to Bishop

Grosseteste College to train to become a teacher. It was the

first time that I had lived away from home; the first time I had

done my own food shopping; the first time away from all of my

'home' friends and family. I

lived in Lincoln for four years

where I met many fantastic

friends, many of whom I have

stayed in contact with. I love

to visit Lincoln regularly

because it reminds me of my

student days.

Your special place may not be a town or a city; it could be a

park, a playground or even somebody’s house….

Write a paragraph to describe the place which is special to you

and include illustrations.

- Say where it is

- Describe it

- Explain why the place is so special to you
