Lesson 1: Literacy
1) Listen to the video of Hanna reading the story so far. You can also click the button below to read the text yourself.
2) Watch this video of Hanna explaining what the text tells her about Annie’s character. Hanna finds clues in the story that tell her what Annie’s personality is like and she uses it as evidence. Hanna uses these words to describe Annie:
ambitious
independent
adventurous
intelligent
determined
If you don’t know what these words mean, you could look them up in a dictionary (online or a book version of a dictionary).

4) Finally have a look at the White Rose lesson on common factors.
It is important you watch the video lesson first and then have a go at the activities underneath the video screen as we haven't looked at factors for a while. I have added a link to the lesson PowerPoint slide below.
I have also included the answers for you to check once you've completed as much of the activity as you can do. This is a self marking activity, once you've completed the activity of course. Please let us know if you need any support with any of the activities.
Remember you can write out the activities and calculations on paper, you don't need to print them out.

Lesson 3: Art
Mayan Art
You have been learning about the Ancient Maya civilization. Apart from designing majestic cities, being great mathematicians, designing their own form of writing and communication, they also were artists. Today we are going to be looking at and drawing Mayan Masks!
Mayan Masks were a symbol of divinity. Mayan masks had a wide variety of uses, and the importance of the masks dictated how intricate the designs on various masks were. The most sacred Mayan masks featured complex and delicate mosaics made out of jade, wood, stone, and other materials.
Take a look at this mask. Do you see faces? Animals? What colours are being used?

| The Maya used masks for a variety of reasons and occasions. These included:

| Event Masks Other masks were designed to be worn during important events such as weddings and birth ceremonies. These masks often used heavenly beings, animals or designs for entertainment purposes. These masks used amazing designs with bright, vibrant colours painted onto wooden surfaces. What do you notice about these masks? What animals or shapes do you see? What colours? |  |  |
Death Masks
Finally, those masks used to adorn the faces of the dead were often seen as the most sacred and therefore were the most elaborate. These masks used a mosaic patterning of the beautiful greens and blues of the Jade stone to show the close sacred connection between the people and their Gods. Can you see the intricate detail on this jade mask?

For your art lesson today, draw your own mask on a piece of paper. Which category of mask are you designing. What animals will be included in your mask? Will you make it frightening or colourful? Think about what animals the Mayans would have seen in the rainforest as inspiration. Maybe a jaguar or an exotic bird? We can’t wait to see what you submit.

Novel
'Pie in the Sky' by Remy Lai was voted the winning book of the Tower Hamlets Book Award 2020. Hundreds of pupils in the borough (aged 10 - 13) took part online. Remy was one of 7 guest authors and illustrators present at the finale to receive the news. Remy joined us online from Australia even though it was around midnight for her!
Blue Gate Fields Juniors' entry to the presentation competition was based on 'Pie in the Sky'. Children in Salma's literacy group had great fun filming it, and it is very funny! We made some amazing masks – and we had a special Book Award cake, too!
Watch our presentation, and read the book!
