Reading 30 minutes The Jungle Book Excerpt from Mowgli’s Brothers

Shere Khan the tiger has attacked a woodcutter’s camp, but their young child has escaped him and walked into the cave of a family of wolves. The Tiger has tracked the child to the cave and wants his prey to be handed over to him. Shere Khan had jumped at a woodcutter’s campfire, as Father Wolf had said, and was furious from the pain of his burned feet. But Father Wolf knew that the mouth of the cave was too narrow for a tiger to come in by. Even where he was, Shere Khan’s shoulders and forepaws were cramped for want of room, as a man’s would be if he tried to fight in a barrel. “The Wolves are free people,” said Father Wolf. “They take orders from the Head of the Pack, and not from any striped cattle-killer. The man’s cub is ours – to kill if we choose.” “Ye choose and ye do not choose! What talk is this of choosing? By the bull that I killed, am I to stand nosing into your dog’s den for my fair dues? It is I, Shere Khan, who speak.” The tiger’s roar filled the cave with thunder. Mother Wolf shook herself clear of the cubs and sprang forward, her eyes, like two green moons in the darkness, facing the blazing eyes of Shere Khan. “And it is I, Raksha [The Demon], who answer. The man’s cub is mine, Lungri – mine to me! He shall not be killed. He shall live to run with the Pack and to hunt with the Pack; and in the end, look you, hunter of little naked cub – frog-eater – fish killer – he shall hunt thee! Now get hence, or by the Sambhur that I killed (I eat no starved cattle), back thou goest to thy mother, burnt beast of the Jungle, lamer than ever thou earnest into the world! Go!” Father Wolf looked on amazed. He had almost forgotten the days when he won Mother Wolf in a fair fight from five other wolves, when she ran in the Pack and was not called The Demon for compliment’s sake. Shere Khan might have faced Father Wolf, but he could not stand up against Mother Wolf, for he knew that where he was she had all the advantage of the ground, and would fight to the death. So he backed out of the cave-mouth growling, and when he was clear he shouted – “Each dog barks in his own yard! We will see what the Pack will say to this fostering of man- cubs. The cub is mine, and to my teeth he will come in the end, O bush-tailed thieves!” Mother Wolf threw herself down panting among the cubs, and Father Wolf said to her gravely – “Shere Khan speaks this much truth. The cub must be shown to the Pack. Wilt thou still keep him, Mother?” “Keep him!” she gasped. “He came naked, by night, alone and very hungry; yet he was not afraid! Look, he has pushed one of my babes to one side already. And that lame butcher would have killed him and would have run off to the Waingunga while the villages here hunted through all our lairs in revenge. Keep him? Assuredly I will keep him. Lie still, little frog. O thou Mowgli – for Mowgli the Frog I will call thee – the time will come when thou wilt hunt Shere Khan as he has hunted thee.”

GPS warm-up The challenge activities provide opportunities for children to practise some of the 10 minutes more difficult objectives and question types. Where questions require a written answer, children should be reminded to take particular care with spelling and punctuation (e.g. use of capital letters and full stops). Children can write answers in an exercise books.

If you are unsure what the question is asking, use your homework book to find out what is means. For example if you need to know what a subordinate conjunction is, turn to that page of your book and it should explain.

Don’t forget spellings! Either test yourself or ask someone at home to test you. Writing Continuing from yesterday. 30 minutes Activity 10: CHALLENGE! Try some juxtaposition

If you haven’t heard of this term before, juxtaposition means having two opposite or contrasting ideas next to each other. This can surprise the reader as they might not be expecting it or have never heard it before.

The title of our game – The City of Silence – is actually an example of juxtaposition because a city is not normally silent but full of noise. Here are some other examples to help you think of your own.

The sun of darkness The dungeon of love The black hole of light The cave of dreams The waterfall of pain

★ Now have a go at coming up with some ideas that use juxtaposition.

Activity 11: A poem with a repeating pattern

For this poem, you will need a repeating phrase chosen from one of the ideas above. Here are some examples so you get the idea:

I Got Lost I got lost in the castle of curses and never came out, I got lost in the maze of confusion as…. I got lost in the land of dreams where…. I got lost in the field of fear because….

In the Castle of Dreams In the castle of dreams there are…. In the castle of dreams you will…. In the castle of dreams no-one…. In the castle of dreams I…..

The Dungeon of Doom The dungeon of doom is home to…. The dungeon of doom wants you to…... The dungeon of doom is a place where….. The dungeon of doom can……

To extend this poem, each verse could be 4 lines on a different threatening setting. E.g. Dungeon of doom followed by Cave of Death, Forest of Dread and Cavern of Fear.

★ Now have a go at a repetitive poem – continue on a separate page and add drawings if you want to.

Challenge Can you design a mascot for Paralympics GB?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVF7b9GB67Y Paralympics GB is made up of elite athletes selected to represent Great Britain and Northern Ireland at Paralympic Summer and Winter Games. They are amazing athletes who thrill us with their extraordinary performances. They have often overcome immense hurdles to represent their country and Paralympics GB. They will be seen in action at the 2020 Paralympic Games.

Who are ParalympicsGB? Think about the range of different sports and athletes you saw in the film. ParalympicsGB is made up of a range of athletes with different impairments, who compete in a wide range of different sports. Support: Paralympic athletes have a range of physical impairments, such as lower and upper limb amputations, poor muscle control leading to loss of leg/arm and/or body control, difficulties walking and balancing, and vision impairments.

What are sports classes? Read about Paralympic sports classes, finding out how they allow athletes with different impairments to compete fairly. • In Paralympic Sport, athletes compete in sport classes based on the type and degree of their impairment and how much it affects their ability to carry out all the skills and movements required for the different Paralympic events. • Paralympic Sport has ten eligible impairment types. These are: impaired muscle power, impaired passive range of movement, limb deficiency (e.g. upper or lower limb amputees), leg length difference, short stature, hypertonia (abnormal muscle tension, and reduced ability to stretch), ataxia (lack of coordination of muscles), athetosis (generally characterised by unbalanced, involuntary movements and a difficulty in maintaining a symmetrical posture, due to a neurological condition, such as cerebral palsy, brain injury or multiple sclerosis), vision impairment, and intellectual impairment. • Each sport has its own rules for determining which athletes compete together. Some sports only permit specific groups of athletes to compete. For example, the Paralympic Sports of Goalball and Football 5-a-side are played by those with a vision impairment and Boccia is a competitive game for those with impairments that affect motor skill and coordination. Further information about sport classes can be found at: https://www.Paralympic.Org/classification

Discuss the Paralympic Values Which Value do you think is most important for you or for a Paralympian? Did you pick the same Value, or different Values? Why did you pick each Value? Support: Look up any words you do not understand in a dictionary. Use the following slide to see examples of different animals/objects/expressions that might show these qualities.

What could represent the Values? What Value might each picture represent? Explain your answer. (Don’t worry – there is no right or wrong answer!) Think: How could you design a mascot that portrays one or more of these great values?

What represents the UK? ParalympicsGB is also a national team, it represents Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Can you match the symbol and famous landmark to the correct country? Think: How will you portray your ParalympicsGB mascot representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

What makes a good mascot? • What do you like about each design? (Think about the colours, the shapes, the expressions, anything you know about their story.) • What would you change? • Which is/are your favourite mascot(s)? About the mascots 1. , Olympic Winter Games, Albertville 1992. The star stands for dreams and imagination and uses the French flag colours. 2. Gomdoori, Paralympic Summer Games, Seoul 1988. ‘Gomdoori’, which means ‘teddy bear’ in Korean, are two Asian black bears, each representing wisdom and courage. They are running a three-legged race with legs tied together, symbolizing the power of cooperation, of mutual encouragement, and of the ability to create peace and harmony together. 3. Soohorang, Olympic Winter Games, PyeongChang 2018. In Korean folklore, the white tiger was viewed as a guardian that helped protect the country and its people. ‘Shooho’ means ‘protection’, the tiger helping to ‘protect’ the athletes and visitors at the games, and ‘Rang’ is from the Korean word ‘ho- rang-I’ which means ‘tiger’. 4. Vinicius, Olympic Summer Games, Rio 2016. Vinicius is made up of different Brazilian animals: the bird, the cat and the monkey, and the name was chosen in honour of the famous Brazilian musician, Vinicius de Moraes. He can stretch his arms and legs as much as he wants. This allows him to jump higher, run faster, and become stronger. 5. Neve and Gliz, Olympic Winter Games, Turin 2006. ‘Neve’ is the Italian for snow; her fluid, red design embodies elegance of motion and harmony. Gliz is derived from ‘ghiaccio’, meaning ice. He's all compact and blue, as powerful as any Olympic athlete. 6. Fu Niu , Paralympic Summer Games, 2008. The cow mascot features colours used in traditional Chinese New Year’s paintings and gifts. The name relates to characters meaning luck and happiness. 7. Mandeville, Paralympic Summer Games, London 2012. Mandeville, the Paralympic mascot, was named after the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire, the birthplace of the Stoke Mandeville Games, the predecessor of today’s Paralympic Games. The three spikes on its helmet symbolise the three Agitos of the Paralympic logo. 8. Sondre, Paralympic Winter Games, Lillehammer 1994. Sondre is a friendly troll, a creation with origins in Norse mythology. His impairment is a lower leg amputation.

What makes a good mascot? Personality! Think about your mascot’s personality. You need to bring life to your character and make sure it appeals to younger children as well as the athletes and spectators.

How do mascots move? How can/should a mascot designer consider movement in their design?

Read the design brief Your mascot could be anything (an animal, an object, something more abstract like a flame, or something imaginary). Whatever you design, remember to think about how your mascot could: • represent a physical or sensory impairment (remember to look at slide 6–7 to think about different kinds of impairments) • celebrate the Paralympic Values (determination, inspiration, courage and equality) • be non-games specific (so not Tokyo or Japan themed) so ParalympicsGB could use it long term • have a great name! Think about the colours of the ParalympicsGB logo – red, white and blue, representing the flag of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and red, blue and green, the colours of the Agitos, the symbol of the Paralympic Games. How might you use these to colour their mascot?

Design your mascot – initial ideas Start ideas flowing by folding a piece of paper into four parts and jot down/sketch four ideas – 1 minute for each idea. Support: Find images or objects to help inspire your mascot, e.g. different animals and sporting objects (such as a medal, wheelchair or javelin), or focus on Pride’s red, white and blue hair and think about what other animals could look good with a similar hair style! Challenge: Think about the audience for your mascot. The mascot should represent athletes, but also inspire young children and their families. What will help young children to get excited about ParalympicsGB?

Design your mascot – developing the design Develop your design. Jot down, sketch or computer-generate ideas. Designs can be hand drawn, produced using computer-aided design or modelled in 3D (with a photograph of the model affixed to the design sheet).

Finalise your design • Think about the names of past mascots, e.g. Pride (named after a pride of lions and the pride we should all feel in Team GB) or Mandeville (named after the Stoke Mandeville Hospital which organised the first Stoke Mandeville Games, considered to be the precursor to the Paralympic Games). • Please note: The ParalympicsGB logo should appear somewhere on the mascot. It is not necessary to draw the logo, although you can if you wish. Use a * to indicate its position. Think about how you can make sure the logo is visible most of the time – including when the mascot is active.

Complete your design sheet Draw/add a picture and write a description of the mascot to complete your design. If the mascot has been created using computer-aided design or modelling, it print/photograph the design and stick in to the sheet. Send your designs to ParalympicsGB! • Send in your designs by 31 May 2020 for the chance to be selected for display at ParalympicsGB team base in the athletes’ village at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games! • Email your mascot designs to: [email protected] • Share your designs: @GetSetCommunity (Share contact and entry details through direct message function only. Feel free to share designs publicly!)

Optional Making your model If you want to go further you could bring your mascot to life by modelling them in 3D. A photograph of the model can be included in the design sheet. (Please do not send in 3D models as these will not be selected to take to Tokyo 2020 – only photographs affixed to a design sheet.) Think about recycling! Make sure you don’t construct a junk model that you can’t take apart to recycle once you’ve finished with it!

You will find the design sheet where you downloaded today’s home learning. Good luck!
