Hi everyone. Today’s big announcement is that we are re-launching “The Perfect Project 2021, feat Ed Sheeran and the LMP Orchestra.”
YOU COULD BE IN A VIDEO WITH ED SHEERAN AND THE LMP ORCHESTRA!
Back in Lockdown 1, we released this video that featured Pupils, Staff and Parents of the Pegasus Academy Trust singing Ed Sheeran’s song, “Perfect” as a multi screen video. (After watching the youtube video, keep scrolling down.) NOW YOU COULD BE PART OF THIS AMAZING PROJECT! Parents, Pupils, Staff, Brothers and Sisters are all welcome to post an entry. Do one video per person please emailing via www.wetransfer.com to jambusmusic@gmail.com
Ed was on a well deserved break after his record breaking tour “Divide” when we created this, so his management company didn’t want him featured in the video until he was back to work. He’s been recording his new album and it’s nearly finished, so his management company have now said it’s now okay for us to include Ed Sheeran in the re-release! I have the video he sent me already, so now all we need it you. Not only could you be singing with Ed Sheeran, but also the LMP Orchestra will be added to the new version so it will be an amazing thing you can send to all your friends and family to say you’ve been part of.
Watch this video to introduce the project.
VIDEO 1 – Introduction to Project
This video is the “Practice and training video.” Watch carefully so you know what to expect when filming your video.
VIDEO 2 – Practice and Training
VIDEO 3 – This is an example video of what i need from you.
Make sure we can see your face and shoulders clearly. Use good light making sure they are not silhouetted with a bright light behind you. Keep the camera still. Have “VIDEO 4 – Performance video” playing as loud as possible in the back ground using a speaker, not headphones.
Make sure you can hear the 4 loud beeps on the video you send me.
VIDEO 4 – Performance Video – USE THIS VIDEO WHEN YOU RECORD THE VIDEO
This video will give you the lyrics you need and the beeps you MUST have on your video. Turn up your speakers as loud as they go. Press play, follow the instructions and start you recording when I tell you to on the video.
VIDEO 5 – How to get your video to Mr Spoerer
This is a step by step guide to how to send your video to me.
Very well done for completing a full week of face to face learning!!! You transitioned back to the school environment, extremely well.
As I stated, in class, we are going back to our full timetable next week. So, in preparation of this (as always), you will find your preview homework below.
The homework this week looks at:
MATHS – Division. This will be our focus for the week. The aim, is that at the end of the week you all are able to divide three or two digits by one or two digits.
LITERACY – The Highway Man – A Narrative Poem. Can you familiarise yourself with the poem before the lesson?The grammar part of our literacy lessons, will focus on apostrophes. What will you be able to tell me on Monday about apostrophes?
THEMATIC – As you know we have started a new topic within thematic. Crime and Punishment. Your homework will be to choose and an activity and create a creative piece.
I hope that you enjoy your preview homework and by completing the homework, not only are you doing what you are supposed to do but you are also using part of your questioning learning muscle, as you are using curiosity to help you complete your homework.
DEADLINE for video entries is Friday the 12th of March. Record your videos now or you’ll miss out. Only 1 week to go!
Hi everyone. So this is your last chance to be in a video with global super star Ed Sheeran. If you’ve been thinking about it but haven’t got round to it yet, don’t miss out on this chance! Staff, Pupils, brothers and sisters and parents are all welcome to send a video in.
Make sure you watch all the videos on this post carefully so that you know exactly what to do to record and send your video to me.
Ask an adult to help you, and make sure you don’t move the camera around a lot. Keep it as still as possible please. Make sure you smile!
Also make sure the 4 BEEPS are clearly heard on the video you send me and you keep the music playing non stop from start to finish. The video you send me should be about 4 minutes and 40 seconds long.
It’s World Book Day!!! A day where children all around the UK celebrate the wonders of readings. I look forward to seeing which characters you dress up as!!
It is also, our very last day ever, of online learning before returning to school on Monday.
Here is today’s schedule:
09:15-09:25: Say good morning to your class mates. EMW.
09:25-09:30: Register.
09:30-10:00: We will go through today’s work, discuss any issues, check all your links work and that you are able to open the documents and videos. It is your responsibility, to look at the independent work and make sure you understand is expected of you. Lastly, looking at today’s:
Non screen Activity Task – Exercise . 15 star jumps; 15 sit ups; 15 press ups and running on the spot for at least one minute – the longer the better. If you can go for a run, that’ll be even better!!!
Kindness Task – choose one of the poems and read to an adult/sibling.
Can I remind you all, that no one should be in their pyjamas or in bed! Everybody should also make sure that they have eaten their breakfast before the register is taken. This is a learning environment and you need to take it as seriously as you do, when you are in class. There should, also, be no personal discussions or spamming via the chat unless advised to do so!
Today, we will be continuing with the lesson from Tuesday. I think it is really important that we all are able to know which strategies to use when feeling overwhelmed, whether it’s physically or mentally. Again, no worksheets, as you will be doing the work during the lessons. So, please, make sure that you are ready to participate – it is an interactive lesson!!!
11:00-14:15: During this time, you are expected, to complete the work for all three subjects, independently and upload it to the blog.
*LESSON 2: LITERACY – Write Your Story
“There was no doubt about it, I would have to go back.”
Today, you are going to start the writing of your 500 word story. Your opportunity to get your creative juices flowing. Your story will need a beginning, middle and end. You will need characters that you’ll need to describe, the settings and the weather also need to be described.
To be included are: expanded noun phrases, ambitious vocabulary, use of figurative language (similies, metaphors, alliteration, hyperbole etc), and show not tell.
*LESSON 3: I LOVE READING – World Book Day Edition
Read, the extracts below, followed by your own reading book. I would, like you (an adult or sibling) to take a picture of you reading in the most unusual place, you can find in your house or garden (if you have one). Post it on the blog and we can have a look at them during the afternoon Google Meet. I would like you to spend at least 40 minutes reading in total.
Hi Year 5, welcome back to Module 2 of your Jam-Bus Online Music lessons with me, Mr Spoerer .
This Module we are exploring “The Orchestra” which is truly the biggest most awe inspiring style of music because it involves so many people playing so many different musical instruments.
WALT: How to learn the different “TIMBRES” or “sounds” of each instrument in the “Woodwind Section” of the Orchestra and be able to identify them just from hearing each instrument’s “Quality of Sound.” This is what Timbre means. It’s a french word that means exactly how an instrument sounds, and the different noises an instrument can make and how it makes that noise.
Colour these and post to the blog your favorite instrument.
500 bonus YUMU points for those who do.
We’ll continue focus on the Pitch, (high or low notes) of each instrument and the name of each pitch. The highest being Soprano, Mid to highAlto, Mid to LowTenor andlowest which is Bass. We’ll also explore Whistle, Double Reed and Single reed sounds of Woodwind instruments.
We’ll also know the names of each instrument in the Woodwind Section.
The highest being High Soprano, Piccolo Mid to highAlto Flute, sopranoOboe,Mid but large range Clarinet, the Alto Cor Anglais, LowTenor to bass Bassoons andlowest which is the ContraBassoon.
Watch this video to learn the names and sounds of the “Woodwind section” of the Orchestra.
Use this for more music work. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the video called “BBC Philharmonic’s Whistle-Stop Tour of the Orchestra and complete the linked Ten Pieces worksheet.” Only do this if you didn’t do it last week.
