WALT: Write a biography

Continue to write your biography. You should now be on the final paragraphs where you talk about the the impact of their significant event/s, what they did in later life and their death.

Gagarin example:

Fame and later life

After the flight, Gagarin became a world famous celebrity. He toured in many places like in Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and Japan. He did this to promote the Soviet Union achievements.

In 1962, he began serving as a deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. He later came back to Star City. While there, he worked on designs for a reusable spacecraft. Gagarin worked on these designs in Star City for seven years. He became Lieutenant Colonel of the Soviet Air Force on 12 June 1962. Then on 6 November 1963 he got the rank of Colonel of the Soviet Air Force. Soviet people tried to keep him away from any flights, being worried of losing their hero in an accident. Gagarin was backup pilot for Vladimir Komarov in the Soyuz 1 flight. As Komarov's flight ended in a deadly crash, Gagarin was banned from training for and helping out in further spaceflight/s.

Death

Gagarin then became deputy training director of the Star City cosmonaut training base. At the same time, he began to re-join as a fighter pilot. On 27 March 1968, while on a routine training flight from Chkalovsky Air Base, he and flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin died in a MiG-15UTI crash near the town of Kirzhach. Gagarin and Seryogin were buried in the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square.

People are not sure what caused the crash, but a 1986 investigation thinks that the turbulence from a Su-11 'Fishpot-C' interceptor using its afterburners may have caused Gagarin's plane to go out of control.

CPSHE

WALT: Identify, write and discuss issues currently in the media concerning health and wellbeing

Decide a current health and wellbeing topic which you would like to research. Examples of issues you may choose are:

  • Introduction of a new law in relation to smoking or alcohol (e.g. smoking in cars with children present)
  • New research on how a certain food affects the body (e.g. sugar)
  • Health initiatives such as ‘The Daily Mile’ (www.thedailymile.co.uk )
As part of the task you should find out some key facts relating to the issue and, if possible, some arguments for and against the issue.

What are you responsible for in terms of your own health and wellbeing. What are other people responsible in terms of the children’s health and wellbeing?

Consider the issue discussed above. Whose responsibility is it to ensure that people’s health and wellbeing is looked after regarding that issue? What would be your top tips and advice for the person or people who are responsible in the issue?

Present your top tips and advice in a form of your choice. You must think about the audience you’re producing this for and the key messages you want to get across.

The various forms of presentation could include:

  • An article for an online blog or newspaper editorial
  • A  vlog (i.e. a video blog where you can be filmed discussing the issue and giving your advice)
  • A PowerPoint presentation
  • A poster
Topic - History

After half term, we will be focussing on the build up to the Battle of Hastings. For today's lesson, try to find out as much as you can about the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Be prepared to report back what you find when we are all in school again.

Don't forget to use a range of sources to gather your information. 

Take care,

Mr Smith

Gloucestershire Rockstars Championship

Hello Everyone, We just wanted to tell you about the ‘Gloucestershire Rockstars Championship’ that you’re all going to have the chance to take part in next week. It’s a tournament against lots of other schools in the area that will be played using Times Tables Rock Stars. The tournament itself will run over three days from 12th – 14th May between 10am and 1pm each day. The idea is that you will try to answer as many questions as you can during those times. You’ll earn a point for each correct answer and these will be counted to work out the highest scoring individuals, classes and schools. This event is optional, but it would be brilliant if we can get as many of you involved as possible! You don’t need to be on it continuously, just go on for as long as suits you between 10am and 1pm. Every point will count - we’re aiming for the top of the leader boards! We’re going to be sending an email out to your parents about this too. In the meantime, please try and get in s...
