Morning Year 6 – can you believe we have completed another week of online learning!

You ae all doing a fantastic job and you should be very proud of yourselves! Let’s keep it up so that when we are back together (in real life) everything will be easier.

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom at 9:05am.

Warm up challenge (15 minutes)

 

Reading (20 minutes)

Have a read through the following text:

THESEUS

But, soft! What nymphs are these?

EGEUS

My lord, this is my daughter here asleep

,And this, Lysander; this Demetrius is,

This Helena, old Nedar’s Helena.

I wonder of their being here together.

THESEUS

Go, bid the huntsmen wake them with their horns.

Horns and shout within. (LYSANDER, DEMETRIUS, HELENA, and HERMIA wake and start up)

Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past.

Begin these wood birds but to couple now?

LYSANDER

Pardon, my lord.

THESEUS

I pray you all stand up.

I know you two are rival enemies.

How comes this gentle concord in the world,

That hatred is so far from jealousy,

To sleep by hate and fear no enmity?

LYSANDER

My lord, I shall reply amazedly,

Half sleep, half waking. But as yet, I swear,I cannot truly say how I came here.

EGEUS

I beg the law, the law, upon his head.—–

They would have stolen away, they would, Demetrius,

Thereby to have defeated you and me:

You of your wife and me of my consent,

Of my consent that she should be your wife.

DEMETRIUS

My lord…my love to Hermia,

Melted as the snow, seems to me now

As the remembrance of an idle gaud

The object and the pleasure of mine eye,

Is only Helena. To her, my lord,

Was I betrothed ere I saw Hermia:

But like a sickness did I loathe this food.

But, as in health, come to my natural taste,

Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,

And will for evermore be true to it.

THESEUS

Fair lovers, you are fortunately met:

Of this discourse we shall hear more anon.

Egeus, I will overbear your will;

For in the temple by and by with us

These couples shall eternally be knit.

Away with us to Athens; three and three,

We’ll hold a feast in great solemnity.—

Come, Hippolyta.

Exeunt THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, EGEUS, and train

DEMETRIUS

Are you sure

That we are awake?

It seems to me

That yet we sleep, we dream.

Do not you think

The duke was here, and bid us follow him?

HERMIA

Yea, and my father.

HELENA

And Hippolyta.

LYSANDER

And he did bid us follow to the temple.

DEMETRIUS

Why, then, we are awake; let’s follow him

And by the way let us recount our dreams.

Exeunt

BOTTOM

(Awaking

I have had a most rare vision.

Methought I was – there is no man can tell what.

Methought I was – and methought I had – but man is but a patched fool if he will offer to say what methought I had.

l will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this: it shall be called ‘Bottom’s Dream’.

 

What do you think is happening in this scene?

Have a watch of the following clip. You don’t need to watch it all, just the part from the text above.

      Great Declan, well done! Have another go at question 1.
      For question 3 – you need to do the inverse so 11 1/3 + 1 1/3 =
      For question 4 – you need to find out what 1/5 is so you can the find out 5/5 or 1 which is the missing number. So 15 ÷ 3 = ?
      Then ? x 5 = your missing number.
